- Which detox should I choose?
A detox can be quite challenging. Especially if it's your first time or if you're aiming for quick results. Our advice is to really take the time to decide the right time to start the detox. Keep in mind that you should start a detox when you're not in a very busy or stressful moment in your life.
- A 3-day juice cleanse equals "cleaning the biggest mess in your home"
- A 5-day juice cleanse can be compared to "vacuum cleaning and dusting your home"
- A 7-day juice cleanse is "thorough cleaning such as doing the windows and mopping the floors"
How healthy are you living at the moment? And have you done a detox before? If this is your first time doing a detox, we advise you to start with a 3-day juice cleanse.
- How do I prepare for my detox?
Prior to starting your detox, it is recommended to start cutting out foods that are a burden for your liver and digestive system. If you commit to this, your body will be able to clean out toxins more efficiently and release energy better.
- 7 days before starting: cut down on soda, pastries, salty snacks, fried food, alcohol and packaged foods
- 5 days before starting: cut down on coffee, red mat, white flour products, sweet products (also artifical sweeteners and other sugary products
- 3 days before starting: wheat bread, dairy and pasta
- 1 day before starting: exclusively eat vegetables and fruit
Before starting your detox it is recommended to eat as much pure and unprocessed food. In the manual that we send you by email after your order, you will find all the information needed to make your detox as succesful as possible. Eat as much vegetables and fruit, in combination with easy digestible grains, like spelt bread, rice cakes, oatmeal, sweet potato and quinoa. Also easy digestible protein like egg, poultry and fish. If possible, go for organic and visit a local market of farmer. Also in the supermarket you will find plenty of options. Make sure to drink at least 1,5 to two litres of water. Herbal tea is also a great option!
- I don't have a freezer/ enough freezer space
If you plan on doing a detox and you have no room for the juices (or don't have a freezer), it is best to arrange your delivery one day before starting your detox. You can then deforst the juices of day 1 in your fridge. If you wrap the other juices in a newspaper and put them in the back of the fridge, they will thaw slowly.
Once thawed, the juices will be good to drink for no more than 3 days. A 5-day juice cleanse or mild detox is not recommended if you have no freezer or not enough freezer space.
- All of our products have to be stored in the freezer
- In a standard freezer drawer you can fit 44 bottles of vegetable juice
- One bottle has a height of 14,5 cm and a diameter of 5,5 centimeter
- A standard freezer drawer that is part of a fridge has a length of 415 mm, width 290 mm and a height of 135 mm.
- I'm allergic to some ingredients. Can I still do this detox?
You have the complete freedom to exchange the juices. Especially if you have an allergy or intolerance this is good to know. It is best to add a comment in the section 'delivery instructions or allergies', with the things you are allergic to. This way we can modify your order if there are allergies in you might have missed, by manually replacing your juices.
Caution: If you are doing a detox, the (digital) detox overview you will receive by email right after your order, will not exactly match the contents of your box. This has no other negative effect on your detox.
- Are there instructions for the detox box?
Yes there are! You will receive the digital manual by email on the day of your purchase. You also view this in the detox app. Unfortunately, this email often arrives in the spam box (especially Hotmail), where emails here are automatically removed. To prevent you from losing the manual, look for an email with the name Sapvastenkuur / Juice Cleanse | Handleiding / Instructions
- Can I get double coffee or double tea instead of coffee and tea?
Ofcourse! You can let us know in the comment section at the check-out right under the calendar.
- When do I drink chicory and how do I prepare it?
During the detox you are allowed to drink cichory coffee instead of regular coffee. You can prepare this easily by adding boiled water to two tea spoons of cichory.
Drink your coffee seperate from your juices, by doing this you will optimally absorb the nutrients of Frecious Slowjuices.
Feeling hungry during the detox? That is your cue to drink a cup of chicory coffee.
- Can I continue taking supplements during my detox?
If taking supplements were already a part of your health routine, you can continue to take these during your pre-detox. We don’t recommend taking them during the actual detox. The instructions probably state to take them during a meal. This has to do with the breakdown of the supplement (capsule) and the absorption of the vitamines. Capsules that contain vegetable oil could be an option, but even then it might still be complicated.
We recommend not to take supplements during the detox, because you are already getting a whole lot of vitamins and minerals thanks to the juices ;) A break of taking supplements can even be beneficial.
Prescribed medication should still be taken, but it is highly recommended to discuss this first with your doctor.
