Try This Seven Day Juice Detox Diet

March 3, 2006
I am not recommending this to everyone, but for those who want to lose weight and fast during this Holy Week period, this diet will surely cleanse your system

This 7-day juice fast was designed to support, detoxify, and strengthen the major organs of elimination in the body, including the liver, colon, kidneys, skin, and lungs. The juices provide concentrated vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients that are easy to absorb.
What are the guidelines of this juice fast?
Carefully read and follow the guidelines and precautions on how to do a juice fast. It’s important to prepare for the juice fast by following the detox diet guidelines for a minimum of one week prior to the juice fast. Expect to feel some hunger pangs at first, but these should diminish by the second day of the juice fast.

For the 7-day detox juice fast, a different juice is consumed each of the seven days:

  • Day 1: Apple and celery juice: Intestines, liver, kidneys. Use 1/2 apple juice and 1/2 celery juice.

  • Day 2: Pineapple juice: Enzyme bromelain for the small intestine. Also specifically helpful for inflammation, allergies, arthritis, edema, and hemorrhoids. Add 1/2 cup juice to 1/2 cup water.

  • Day 3: Lemon juice and water: Detoxify and cleanse the liver. Add the fresh juice of 1/2 lemon to each cup of water.

  • Day 4: Carrot Juice: Liver, lungs, kidneys, eyes.

  • Day 5: Beet Juice: Removes toxins from the liver into the bloodstream. Also specifically helpful for arthritis and menstrual problems.

  • Day 6: Green Juices: Believed to cause an exchange of toxins across membranes resulting in the systematic flushing of toxins out of the body. Also specifically helpful for circulation, skin, digestive problems, obesity, bad breath. Green vegetables include watercress, broccoli, kale, collard greens, parsley, spinach, beet greens. Green juices have a very strong taste, so carrot juice can be added as needed to improve the taste.

  • Day 7: Distilled Water: Cleanses the entire system.

Drink these juices throughout the day. You are also encouraged to drink water on all days of the fast to help remove toxins. Fresh, rather than frozen, canned or bottled juices should be used, because processing destroys many of the nutrients and enzymes in juice. Use organic fruit and vegetables.
