Juice Cleanse Results

I MADE IT!

I have officially completed my Juicing Tree 3-day cleanse and am excited to say I didn’t cheat once!

This morning I woke up, ate oatmeal with a banana and enjoyed some tea.  Surprisingly – i’m still not craving anything unhealthy.

I am also not as hungry as I expected to be, probably because my stomach shrank over the last 3 days.

I couldn’t be happier with this experience! Not only did it test my willpower, but it also showed me great results (I lost 5 lbs and feel healthy, happy and rejuvenated!)

During my journey I came up with a few tips to share with our followers:

*** Save the Naked Nuggets and Kales Chips for late in the day – when your cravings are likely to be most intense.

*** Keep yourself VERY busy! Each day I packed myself a few juices and headed out for the day.

*** Day 2 was by far the hardest for me.  With this in mind, I suggest making Day 2 your busiest day.

*** I did not exercise while doing the cleanse, but if you do, make sure that you listen to your body.  If you think … Read more!

Day 2 – Juice Cleanse

Hello Hello! I am on Day 2 of my Juicing Tree juice cleanse! Turns out, it is not as hard as most people would assume.

I eat very well normally – so maybe that attributes to why I completed Day 1 with a certain amount of ease. I also kept myself busy all day so that I would rarely get the chance to think about food.

Day 1 Consumption:

*** 5 and 1/2 delicious juices. – I fell asleep early and didn’t drink half of my last juice. YESSSS! That means more juice for me today : )

*** 2 Naked Nuggets <– AKA tastes like a chocolate truffle so I felt like I was cheating

*** 1/2 of my 3-day supply of Kale Clusters… Whoops.  I couldn’t help myself.  These Kale Chips are AMAZING.  Please please please, if nothing else, GO TRY THESE KALE CLUSTERS (and then thank me later)

Today I am onto my second juice, have loads of energy, and surprisingly i’m not cravings carbs.  Maybe my body is trying to thank me for ridding myself of nasty toxins.

Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that I woke up feeling light as a feather.

The Juicing Tree 3-day Cleanse

It’s no secret that we indulge ourselves in the tastiest foods and drinks over the holidays. For me the holidays meant spending quality time with friends & family [ & food…+ maybe some sugary drinks too : ) ].  Needless to say – my body is in need of a quick detox to jumpstart my metabolism.

I contacted my favorite local juicer, The Juicing Tree, for help.

When were you first inspired to design? I’d say I’ve been playing dress up my whole life ;).  Randomly enough, I was training to be an indy car race driver and it was then behind the wheel that I got the idea for Kadyluxe.  You never know when you’ll get your next big idea, right?

What will you be showing at Fashion Denver’s Holiday Market? Luxury activewear inspired by dance.   Dance has been inspiring fashion for decades.  We are passionate about capturing a dancer’s unique style in active apparel- something accessible for active-minded women, wearable day or night.  More and more women demand active pieces that crossover from studio to street.  Made for dance, yoga, barre and leisure designed right here in Denver, CO and manufactured in Los Angeles.

If you had to pick one piece from your collection that most represents your personality, which would it be? The Moto46 Skinny with rose gold zippers.  This piece was inspired from the moto sports racing world & named after my favorite MotoGP rider Valentino Rossi, #46.  I wear this piece to barre class, with my favorite … Read more!
