There are many signs that may lead you to think that a juice cleanse is working for you. 

-"You wake up feeling lighter since your digestive tract isn't as full as when you're eating solid foods," says Dr. Chutkan. 

-"Some people experience stronger cravings but stay committed to finishing the juice cleanse. Break your fast gradually, with whole raw fruits and vegtables, returning to normal diet day 3-4. Please do not consume fast food or substantial processed food/sugar directly after a cleanse. 

Foods to Avoid After Fasting & Why to Avoid Them

Caffeine and Alcohol -Dehydrating the body may irritate the digestive system.

Heavy Red Meats - High in saturated fats; taxing on the digestive system.

Fried and Greasy Foods - High in unhealthy fats and calories; lead to discomfort.

While cleansing you may experience what we call a "Healing crisis".

It is due to your body purging out the toxins that have settled and lay dormant in your digestive system. 

The first 3 days of a Juice Cleanse can be the most difficult, a individual may experience hunger pangs, frequent urination and the following symptoms:

After we eat solid foods, it takes about 6-8 hours for the food to pass through our stomach and small intestine. Food then enters our large intestine (colon) for further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food.

In total, it will take 2-5 days in total for food to move through the entire body, it sits in the colon before this waste is expelled so it may take even longer.

Liquid absorbs in our bodies within 20-40 minutes, 60 minutes to fully digest and expel out of the body.

When we complete a juice cleanse we receive all the essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals from juicing the organic fruits, vegetables and herbs. This also helps the body function and promote detoxification through the cleansing process. 

After eating, some people believe they have the "itis". Which to some means that the food was so good it made them sleepy.

This is the normal response of the body due to we are using all its energy to break down the solid food. Juicing gives our body a break from using all of our energy to chew and digest solid food, so this is one of the reasons why we naturally feel more energetic.
