Tested: Joulebody Cleanse

Hey folks! When you think of cleanses, you imagine the liquid varieties, right? So when we heard about the Joulebody cleanse, we were a bit curious, but our buddy Alia Kate (who works for the company) urged us to give their 3-day system a try. A little background about Joulebody: it’s an Eco-conscious, whole food cleansing and detoxing system providing 3 to 20 day programs. Many people choose to cleanse when they are seeking to lose weight, increase energy levels, or simply clean out their system.

We asked twenty-something Sara Lopes to give this a try (this was her first time cleansing), and she has outlined her experience and tips (below):

Day 1: My body is a little bit in shock and it’s hard to get adjusted. It helps that the foods and juices are labeled.

Tips- Read all the materials Joulebody provides for the pre-cleanse phase. This will help with adjustment to the body shock.

Day 2: The juices are delicious but the food takes some getting used to.
Tips- Keep a raw diet if you are still hungry during the cleanse.

Day 3: I woke up this morning feeling more energized. I’ve definitely gotten adjusted to the food and juices and the overall experience has been pretty good. Tips- If you’re someone who follows a raw food diet then this is something you’d enjoy. If you’re going from whole foods to cleansing, I highly recommend prepping ahead of time and then reading about how to go back to solid foods after the cleanse program is over.

We hope Sara’s account was helpful to you as you prepare for a body cleanse. As Sara mentioned in her 3-day documentation, be sure to prepare ahead of time by drinking lemon water every morning, staying away from caffeine, etc., depending on the specific cleanse (materials will be provided ahead of time if you choose Joulebody). We also suggest notifying your doctor before putting your body through a different diet. We like Joulebody because they incorporate solid foods into their programs and support a healthy lifestyle. They’ve agreed to give all 24B readers a 10% discount to try out any of their programs or food products. Write 10Joule24B at check out.
