For this three day detox diet you will need a juicer and a blender, preferably high speed. This program is based on a cleansing diet that was created by raw food chef, Jill Pettijohn.
Begin each day with herbal or green tea; you can drink as much herbal or green tea as you like during the day.
Consume your juices and soups two to three hours apart and be sure to drink lots of water in between. Ideally your juice or soup should be prepared just before consuming but if this is not possible just prepare your day’s supplies in the morning and store in glass containers in the fridge.
End each day with a relaxing tea such as chamomile.

I have never done a detox before. This is day 1. I have only made the breakfast juice. There was soooo much of it that I am still extremely full. Took quite a while to drink. May not do lunch. Are these recipes meant for only 1 person? I am starting to experience pain in my upper abdomen just under my breakbone. Is this a normal pain to experience while on a detox?

Hi Felicia and apologies for the delay in my response.
Yes the recipes are for one person but if you are feeling overly full I would recommend that you don’t consume the whole thing. Just eat until satisfied and if you are hungry later one you can eat the rest.
Pain is not normal during a detox although digestive discomfort is a common occurrence. Probably the best thing is to separate your lunch soup into two meals. The juices and green smoothies should not cause problems so long as you sip them slowly.
Be sure not to simply gulp it down. The idea is to chew your juices. Imagine if you were to eat all the foods in the juice or smoothie. It would take a long time to chew them all so it is best to try to take the same amount of time with your smoothie.
Hope you are feeling better now.
