Blueprint cleanse what is it

Surprisingly, we woke up on the second day with very little hunger. I rode my bike to work and went about my routine feeling pretty normal, and I didn't even crack open my tall bottle of liquified salad until after I had been awake for about four hours. Days three and four were juice-only days, and that's when the desperation set in. The lack of that cold soup and vegetable wrap at dinner time — or, more likely, the knowledge that it won't be there — was torture.

You work your way through six juices one-by-one they're numbered, in case you grow delirious savoring every drop of every bottle. You even chew on them a little bit, just because, oddly, you really miss chewing. Bonus: As you can imagine, when you're not eating food, juice moves through your system quickly. Very quickly. With ruthless vigor. Some extremely strange things come out of your body during your most private moments.

Maybe that's why they call it a cleanse. The whole point of this torture is to reset your system, and to educate you about your relationship with food. It teaches you that what, when and how much you eat affects your energy level and mood in very big ways. Those patterns of highs and lows — dictated by things like the morning coffee, the burrito lunch, the post-gym Odwalla and the wine-soaked dinner — weren't there.

It was smooth sailing all day. Hunger ceased to be an issue. I was sleeping like a baby, and I was alert right when I woke up. I was able to achieve very deep focus while writing, and I was more productive.

I lost about five pounds. Which is not to say we were sad to rejoin life among the normals, but our return was measured. This is an intense cleanse loaded with greens and a little something to look forward to. This cleanse is for if you are trying to lose a couple of pounds.

It will help control your sugar intake and is overall a very healthy cleanse. The main thing to be aware of when you are doing a cleanse is how many daily calories are you intaking?

Not getting enough calories from your cleanse is a serious problem that can cause you body to go into starvation mode. This means that when you start eating again your body will store more food as fat in preparation of going into another starvation mode.

I thought that these juices included in the cleanse all tasted pretty good. Taste is really important to me and while these might be a little pricey than some of the other cleanses, it makes up for it in taste. Many people look toward doing cleanses as a way to lose weight. They do not guarantee any weight loss but since the cleanse does lower your calorie intake for a few days you will be likely to experience weight loss.

If you have a big event coming up and you want to lose a few pounds a Blueprint cleanse can help you with that. However, if you are looking for long term weight loss that you need to make cleansing a part of a monthly routine.

It got to the point that I would spin around in my chair every time a car drove by, checking to see if it was FedEx. The package was put together perfectly and included a little note with instructions and rules. But, I was ravenous at that point, therefore I chucked all the juice in the fridge and cracked open my first green juice.

Green Juice Bottle Numbers 1,3,5. I would describe the green juice as a kick in the face to start your day. It is like drinking a salad minus the dressing of course that you pureed in the blender. There is a strong celery, lemon and parsley flavor. It says there is apple, but I didn't taste much of that.

My exact thoughts were "What have I done, how am I going to do this? I am not a big fan of parsley and cilantro so I feel that the parsley flavor was the reason I struggled with this juice in the beginning. It has the perfect balance of sweet and minty. These flavors would actually make a nice mojito, for when the cleanse is finished of course! Spicy Lemonade Bottle Number 4. This juice has lemon, agave, cayenne and water.

I liked this juice as well. I am not a spicy food lover and therefore was a little nervous about this. But it was not too spicy, it had just the right amount of heat to wake your system up.

I also had no problem with this causing heartburn. Overall it was a nice afternoon snack. They saved the best for last, literally. The flavor is sweet, creamy and comforting. It is thick enough that you feel satisfied for the night until you start all over again the next day.

By far this is my favorite juice on the BluePrint Cleanse! No, not at all. I was content the entire time.

They recommend drinking at least 8 fluid ounces of water or tea between each juice in addition to each juice being 16 fluid ounces. Think about it, that is a lot of liquid in your body and it actually keeps you full. The only time I was hungry was when I waited too long between juices and as soon as I had my next juice, I went back to being satisfied. I am a fairly active person in general and was perfectly fine working out during the cleanse. The cleanse gives you so much energy, it helped to go work some of it off.

I would check with your doctor to make sure before you add physical activity to your cleanse.
