Z5 Weekend Warrior Cleanse

I have a few true athlete friends who have tried the “Weekend Warrior” cleanse and by stalking them through FB without asking them about it, they seemed to like it and I thought I would give it a try. Both of my friends are tremendous athletes and eat extremely healthy. So I was expecting perhaps a little more than they probably would due to the fact that I am not really an athlete, more of a weekend warrior, and while I eat rather well, I on occasionally indulge in foods that would not be considered mucho bueno for the body.

I was feeling pretty blah upon reading the posts of my friends so I decided to purchase the cleanse. I have to say the best thing I could’ve done for myself. It was the week of Oceanside Half IronMan and while I was a little hesitant, after thinking about how I usually eat the week of a race, I decided it was the best thing to do to clean myself out.

The juices and teas actually taste good. I have juiced before and never really could get it to taste like the pros despite trying very hard. I was able to work and workout the two days I did the cleanse and didn’t notice any loss of power or mental focus. I really did feel the power of the cleanse/detox. I followed the instructions and did use the nut smoothies as a meal after the workout, which I think is probably better if you’re working like I do followed by a work out. I wouldn’t recommend this the week of a race for weight loss or to get to race weight. I felt really good after the cleanse. I rationalized this cleanse race week because I very typically only eat vegetables (copious amounts), minimal fruit, and lean protein the first 3 days of the week to deplete glycogen stores in order to have the body suck glucose up a couple of days before the race.

The order process and delivery is quite the smooth transaction. I ordered and received a confirmation email with a follow-up email to ensure I did not have food allergies. I was then notified of the short window of time that they would be delivered. It was a very seamless process from beginning to end. The folks at Earthly Juices are very nice and the product is, well let’s just say I will be doing this cleanse again and recommend it to all my friends.

Thank you Earthly Juices!
