“Okay, so this is not so much a cleanse as it is sitting down at the sugar bowl. There's a reason all these other reviews say the juices taste so good... they have around 20-31 grams of sugar each!!! That's like drinking a soda! Fruits are the first or second ingredient (and even worse, it's pineapple and oranges for the two juices - the highest sugar fruits). Yes, it's natural sugars from fruits, but it's still way too much sugar (your daily intake of sugar should be 25 grams or less). I was crashing every day by 3 pm from a sugar crash and generally felt awful. I actually didn't want to drink another juice because I couldn't stomach more sweets. I was actually craving green, leafy vegetables on this cleanse. I feel like I need a detox from this detox. I'm bummed I wasted my money.”
Hi there, With all the concerns around SUGAR in our diets being brought to light, this is a valid concern amongst juicers. This is because juice, when found in the grocery store, i.e. your standard pasteurized apple, cranberry, orange juices, IS straight-up sugar water. It has been processed in order to keep it from spoiling, but in the process, loses all of its nutritional content.
It's a common misunderstanding that because added sugars are bad, the same must apply to fruits, which also contain fructose. However... this is completely wrong. Fructose is only harmful in large amounts and it is almost impossible to overeat fructose by eating fruit. NOTHING is EVER added to our juices. It is fruit and veggies and nothing else. When focusing on the idea of taking in more carbohydrates (even natural ones found in the fruits that are juiced) is, it’s a matter of balancing your macronutrients. For instance, since you won’t be taking in the regular amount of fats and protein you would while not on a cleanse, it allows your body to process more carbs— especially without the fiber. If you are still concerned with balancing your blood sugar levels, consider drinking our juice as a supplement to your diet full of vegetables, healthy fats, and protein.
Fatigue is a symptom that is common to juicing. It can be due to a reduction in calories, lack of hydration as you may not feel like drinking more water when you’ve already drank juice, or withdrawal from certain substances such as caffeine, sugar etc. It's also not unusual to crave savory foods while on a juice cleanse. For that reason, we have a variety of other products designed to meet your personal preferences. The Soup Cleanse or our new low-carb Keto Cleanse sound like they would be a better fit for you.
