DAY # 3 with LJC

So, it's Day 3 and......Im hungry. If I said I wasn't I would simply be lying. The Lifestyle Juice Cleanse still has me excited but I find myself staring at people as they consume the foods that I can't indulge at this time. I have to constantly remind myself of the benefits to following through and that seems to keep me on track. What is most impressive about the LJC is that I absolutely love the taste of all of them. my favourite being the # 1 bottle called "Seize the Day Orange". Not only does it taste great, but it is packed with all of my favourite fruits and vegetables as well. I am always running around taking care of business and the last thing I need is to be on a Juice fast trying to force nasty concoctions down my tube. Thank God I don't have that problem with LJC. I think the biggest issue for me is spacing my juices out properly so that i'm not finished them all by 6pm lol. When I am busy, I usually forget about eating as I run around and if I get a hunger pain I drink another bottle Of the LJC. Pretty soon Im on the last bottle trying to take baby sips to last me until I get home. I do drink the warm water and lemon slices they recommend but that doesn't always quell my desire for something with a bit more substance. The bottles come in a white styrofoam case and they are all labeled and numbered. The creators of the Lifestyle Juice Cleanse put a lot of thought and attention into which fruits and veggies blend the best together, while maintaining the peak of there individual potencies. They even went so far as to number the bottles in relation to the time of day you would need those necessary vitamins and minerals the most. I say: LJC JusT GeniuS!!! These are the 6 bottles a day in total: bottle # 1: SEIZE THE DAY ORANGE- ( pineapple, orange, apple, carrot, parsley, celery) (SIMPLY DELICIOUS) Bottle # 2: MEAN GREEN- (kale, spinach, cucumber, apple, lemon, broccoli, ginger) (it tastes better than I imagined) Bottle # 3: RED RESCUE: (beetroot, kale, carrot, apple, broccoli) (I am not a fan of beetroot but this blend is quite good) Bottle # 4: CLEANSING COCO (coconut H20, Cinnamon) (very light and tasty) Bottle # 5: LEAN GREEN (kale, spinach, cucumber, apple, lemon, pineapple, basil, ginger) (a bit cooler and lighter then #2) Bottle # 6: GOODNIGHT NUT-MILK (Almonds, cashews,wild honey, cinnamon, vanilla bean) (I must admit,this is my 2nd favourite) Like I said earlier, they are all very tasty and don't leave me battling my gag reflex . None of the juices give me that dreaded "drink it quickly" feeling. For me, best of all, I don't have a stained juicer to clean and sterilise after each bottle lol. LJC really works!! The Red Rescue was not at all as heavy and potent as I anticipated. It was cool and light. If I knew that you could mix certain fruits and veggies with beetroot to make it taste good, I would have done this ages ago. I know how vitamin packed beets are but never have I enjoyed consuming them until now. With # 2 and # 5, the greens of the gang, I could not be more satisfied. Green vegetables have always been the hardest for me to stomach when I first begin juicing a few years back. I was not sure what to blend the greens with so It didn't taste like I was eating grass. I tried lots of blends but I could never really get the proportions correct enough to stick to them. Now I know that adding a bit of tart from lemon and ginger plus a pinch of sweet from an apple can nullify the strong aftertaste of the leafy vegetables. When I first saw the cleansing coco # 4, I was a bit taken aback by the long cinnamon stick. I thought to myself, wow, that looks a bit like a tree branch in some cloudy water. Well, the idea was simply amazing! the taste is absolutely as advertised and leaves me feeling cooled and cleansed. The coconut and cinnamon compliment each other gracefully and neither one over power the other. It's the perfect # 4 after the Red Rescue. I have been told numerous times that I could eat nuts to supplement for the loss of protein once I gave up eating meat. I just did not like to eat them. But now, I am absolutely in awe at the idea of blending them together and adding a few other healthy and complementing ingredients. LJC # 6 is the perfect good night milk to any day. The blend is so smooth and creamy and kind of takes me back to the idea of baby formula if you will. It is very homey and enjoyable. Honeslty, I was not expected such an impressive end to the collection. Job well done LJC!!! Note About me: Everything I do, I do it with passion. I couldn't and wouldn't possibly be able to be apart of something that I didn't believe in. It would compromise my health and well-being. Defeating the purpose of the Lifestyle Juice Cleanse. With that being said, I believe in the LJC...passionately!
