The Sunday before the start of my NYFW adventure, I had the opportunity of doing the GlowCleanse, a juice cleanse that helps you get rid of toxins and resets your body by boosting your immune system. Glow Cleanse is an association of Crudesscence, the raw food movement of Montreal that owns a couple of restaurants throughout the city.
I must admit, I was VERY sceptic to try this juice cleanse, as I absolutely adore to eat and find such joy in tasting food and feasting. This GlowCleanse required me to prepare my body for the one-day cleanse I was about to embark on. This meant, for a one-day cleanse, the day prior to your cleanse, to eliminate throughout the day, dairy products, meat, whole grains and many more. I will be honest, I did not do that the day before, since I was so preoccupied in my school projects, which I kind of felt the day of the cleanse.
It all started one Sunday morning, I had decided to do the GlowCleanse at my boyfriends house, since there is wayyy to much temptation in my house. We are a household that loves to eat and a Sunday at my house, is almost considered food day, so you can imagine how it was not an option !
The day started out perfectly with the first juice then the second juice. When it was time for the third juice, I must admit, I had trouble swallowing it, not because of the flavour, it tasted very good and fresh, but I think it was associated to the fact that my throat just did not want to cooperate and swallow liquid, my body needed food and my brain was blocking the entrance. I gave it some time and drank slowly but surely the 3rd juice. At around 7pm, that is when the hunger arrived, I was eager to crunch or nibble on a snack but I stayed strong and drank my juices. Finally, I went to sleep pretty late but woke up perfectly in the morning.
One thing, that needs to be mentioned is the constant water you need to drink throughout your GlowCleanse, you need to keep your body hydrated. If water is not your cup of tea, you can always add a bit of lemon to your water and even drink some green tea.
One thing is for sure, I could not skip my morning coffee the day of the cleanse, no coffee means immediate migraine and I couldn't sacrifice my day.
If you are interested in trying the GlowCleanse, head on their website www.glowcleanse.com and place your order, everything is very personalized from the emails to the shipping is very personalized and quick, an aspect I really enjoyed.
