“I do CrossFit every day and very active… Here is what I noticed so far: Higher energy levels, better overall sleep, inflammation is basically gone, quicker recovery after WOD, gut feels better and overall just feel great … cons: don’t feel as strong and as soon as you drink the shake I’m hungry 20 -30 min later but offset it with eating raw fruit and veggies”
“I love my Raw Generation Protein Cleanse. It is a perfect way to reset my body. I can do the cleanse and have enough energy to workout without fatigue!”
“I was skeptical about doing a cleanse. I picked this one because the smoothie ones have protein and it'll keep me fuller longer.
That was not at all an issue. I couldn't drink the juices fast enough. Half a bottle and I was full. I was drinking them every hour. I didn't take any photos but I wish I had. I didn't lose any weight but I definitely lost inches around my mid section. Before this cleanse I had a lot of people assume I was 7months pregnant. After this 3 day cleanse I was able to stuff my belly into my panties.
The juices and smoothies are both very delicious. The cacao hemp was definitely my favorite. Definitely worth the price. I will probably do this again sometime. The only thing I didn't like was it took so long for the juices to thaw out. I had it in the fridge for 24 hours and on the counter top an hour before consuming.
The first day was the easiest. But I also kept my workload to a minimum. 2nd day I was a little hungrier in the evening and the 3rd day I was ready to be done. Over all I felt great.”
“I am 5'10, 150lbs and I live a healthy lifestyle. I only eat clean, whole foods. I never eat refined sugar, and I don't even do cheat days. It's a lifestyle choice I made two years ago, and it freed me from food addiction and obesity. I eat the rainbow- tons of fruits and veggies! My diet brings me a lot of joy. I do have weight loss goals, but my main goals going into this cleanse were to detox, de-bloat, and challenge myself. I'm writing all this to say that I am healthy, I'm in a good place with food, and consuming these juices wouldn't be considered a "shock" to my system since it aligns with what I currently consume anyway.
That being said, this cleanse WREAKED HAVOC on my gut. On my first day, my stomach felt like lead. Like I had literal rocks in my stomach. At first, I was happy about this, since I wasn't feeling any hunger pains- just this dull, persistent fullness. By the end of the day, though, I was keeling over clutching my stomach because I felt so full and bloated. I knew I couldn't have possibly overeaten (this cleanse clocks in at around 1300cal). But I felt as if I'd just binged on cheese or bread or something else that usually triggers my gut. The next morning, I woke up bloated and puffy, which was a huge disappointment since I had been steadily losing weight and waking up leaner and leaner before this cleanse.
Despite this pain and disappointment, I continued. By day three I had GAINED WEIGHT, I was constipated and extremely bloated. My stomach was swollen from my lower abdomen nearly up to my chest. I looked pregnant. I started getting anxious, because I had bought this cleanse, in part, to slim down for my vacation with my boyfriend. The bloat didn't go down until two days into my vacation (three days post-cleanse), which crushed me. I was so insecure and uncomfortable during the time I was supposed to be spending carefree with my loved ones.
I had done cleanses before from Pressed Juicery, and I never should have switched from their products. I think the difference may be in the fiber. All of Pressed's cleanses are less than 10g per day. This one from Raw Generation is almost 50g. I've been suspecting I may have a problem digesting fiber. If you think you may as well, STAY AWAY from these juices.
I gave them two stars because the juices were delicious. I just wish they didn't destroy my stomach.”
