Juice Cleansing While Training for a Race

May 20, 2013

I’m a big fan of juicing. I’ve done a few 3-day cleanses in the past and I think it’s a nice way to jump start clean and healthy eating habits. If you’re not already a healthy eater, an all-juice diet for a couple of days can be brutal, and also probably isn’t your best option (instead, you can make smaller healthy changes to ease your way in, then think about cleansing). But if you’re generally healthy but fell of the wagon a bit, this will get you right back to where you want to be.

I was wondering if cleansing while working out is a good idea. I always work out a lot, and especially now with my triathlon only 2 months away, my training is at an all-time high. So, can I complete a 3-day juice cleanse and keep up with my normal workouts (with the same amount of energy)? I’m going to give it a try and let you know how it goes along the way.

A special thank you to Liquiteria for sending over a complimentary cleanse (I’m doing Level 2 which has 6 juices per day for 3 days). Stay tuned and hear how it goes. Right now I’m on Juice #1- All Greens (Kale, Spinach, Romaine, Celery, Parsley, Cucumber).

Liquiteria just dropped the cleanse off at my office and gave me some helpful hints- the biggest one is to drink a LOT of water while cleansing. You should drink a juice about every 2 hours and in between make sure to drink tons and tons of H20.

Let’s do this!
