Here a Step by Step - Green Juices that you can apply on your daily routine
1. Grab a journal to keep track of everything you are doing for your diet.- This is one of the most important steps within this method. It's not all about doing a method but making sure to keep track of every thing you do while doing that method. Instead of just having to remember everything it's much better to write those things down. Make sure you journal is pocket sized. You can also take a modern approach and write your journal online instead and either keep it private or publish it for everyone to see.
2. Pick a reward for your hard work that comes from the method after the end. Do not pick a food as your reward. Instead pick something active or something worth wild. Some woman like to reward themselves with a new dress or a pair of new shoes while a man might prefer to go to a sport game or to take a road trip to celebrate. Pick a great reward that you can look forward to.
3. In your journal write down your reward at the end of completion of this seven day plan.- The first page of your journal needs to say what your reward for the completion of this seven day detoxing method. This should be big and the center of attention once you open your journal. Some people prefer to place this on every page as a everlasting reminder and some like to place it big on the cover. Make sure to make it the center of attention.
4. Pick your recipes 2 to 3 is more than enough and affordable.- The great thing about green juicing is that it's easy to blend the flavors with greens without even noticing them. Your body will notice but your taste buds will just taste the main things. Make sure to note your recipes in your journal. This will help keep track of them and make it easy to go back to them at a later time. Be sure to make notes of what you do and don't like about the recipe as well.
5. Buy a great juicer if you don't have one and buy your ingredients- It's important to have a long lasting juicer when it comes to planing for a green detoxing. Honestly, some juicers can't even juice greens so reading reviews and product information is very important. Make sure to also buy all the ingredients you need to make your goodies before you ever start juicing. It's perfectly okay to freeze more veggies and fruits but remember they MUST be thawed before juicing
6. Plan your juice drinking time breakfast or lunch, not
dinner. There are many detoxing plans that say to drink your juice in the morning and at night. This depends on the recipes but generally this isn't a good idea. The main reason, no one wants to wake up and have to go to the bathroom at the middle of the night or early in the morning. Normally it can take as little as 30 minutes for the green juice to work and as much as 6 hours. If you feel you can handle night time detoxing then try it once but only once.
7. Prep your ingredients by chopping and placing them into serving sized bags the day before juicing – This will save you the most time and many people forget that chopping and prepping it thus is the most dull task in the world of cooking. Even restaurants prep before they open. It's important to determine the serving size of your juice and make the prep for them. Freeze the goodies in a air tight bag and take them out 2 to 3 hours before you plan on juicing them.
8. Drink your juice 30 minutes before eating a meal- This will provide you with a nice filling feeling and promote smaller serving sizes as well.
9. Cut your meal in half and eat little to no carbs within each meal. - High amounts of carbs are not recommended within this method because they promote a full feeling but aren't as healthy, limit your carbs to one serving a day or opp for whole grain cards instead. Avoid, sweets and also coffee while you are on this seven day detox. You want your body to start fresh and these two things don't help so avoid them or take small small portions of them ever so often.
10. Get fit and stay active. Normally after drinking your juice and eating a meal you will notice a bust in your energy level. It's important to take advantage of this nice bust and get active. If you are a stay at home mom, after drinking and eating, clean and dance or if you are an executive take a quick walk around your office. You can use that work to talk to your employees. This is a very important step to this detoxing. It's important to have your body move around after drinking a green juice.
11. After drinking your juice write in your journal, your progress, your eating habits, what exercise you did and how you feel. This is another important step to make. It's important to chart and keep track of everything because it's a great motivator and can be used each and every time to do a green juice detoxing. It's important to note your mood as well. Your mood can have an effect on this method so keep positive and try to remain stress free.
12. Write the results as they happen. You will notice you will either go the bathroom more often of it will be easier for you to go. Make sure to note this when it happens in your journal. Note the time of day.
13. Do this for seven days. - Normally after two days it becomes a normal thing and doesn't seem so difficult any longer. Soon you'll become excited to drink your juice.
14. After seven days go back to eating normally but still cut back on your carbs for two more days and continue exercising. Don't be surprised if you notice your energy lower once you stop drinking green juices. This is a normal thing and normally goes away after you go back to your normal routine. Keep away from coffee for 2 days after the seven days. Many times coffee can reverse the detoxing so take a coffee break and drink tea instead.
Congratulations you just completed a seven day detox and now you can relax and move on with your life!
