The most common juicing and cleanse questions answered!
Can I eat? Will I be hungry?
You think you will be, we know you won't be! After the first few days that is. With three litres of raw juice, it’s more fuel (nutrients) than your body would normally get on a standard diet. But the mental side of hunger will drive you up the wall. This is one of the reasons why a pre-cleanse is important. For first time cleansers we would say; don't worry you will be hungry but it is all in your mind and after a few days juicing you will not feel any hunger at all. #cleanseisallmental
Will I lose weight on a juice cleanse?
The short answer is “yes” most likely, however this is not a weight loss program. People do juice cleanses/ fasts for many reasons however the focus is not on weight loss. It is what we call a happy side effect. The result of a calorie reduction is normally weightloss, there will also be some water weight loss. The star of the show is the overall health benefits including a new found freedom from old eating habits. If weight is a serious problem try a longer cleanse to break bad eating habits, talk to us for more details on weight loss with a juice cleanse. A cleanse generally gives you the kick start you need to live healthier, eat cleaner, choose better and get moving! The motivation you get after your cleanse to live life differently and healthier is the key to long term weight loss.
How many calories are in each bottle of juice? How many calories in a cleanse program?
Our juices (300ml and 500ml) can range from 70-165 kcals (although our nut milk can be as high as 450 kcal for 500ml). The more fruit the higher the kcals, all green veggie juices are very low in calories. Our cleanse programs are between 700-1200 calories per day across the 6 bottles. With the beginner "reboot" approx 1200 kcal and the "guru" cleanse for experienced cleansers approx. 700 kcal.
How long do I need to cleanse for?
This completely depends on you. We normally recommend a 4-6 day cleanse for beginners. Although it is best to listen to your body for guidance.

The longer the better! But since most of us don’t live in an ideal world, we recommend at least 3 days for a more comfortable way of transitioning and preparing.

Our focus has always been on making the highest quality raw juice from the best quality produce. This does not just mean claiming organic, the organic market in Thailand and Malaysia are still under developed and organic supply chains are unreliable. We produce quality juice, we don't simply put an organic sticker on our bottle. If you want to learn more about this topic please check out our page on produce and supply chains. (Under construction)

Our juices can last up to 3 days in the fridge (our dairy free nut milks can last up to 4 days)

We do not recommend a Juice Cleanse for the sole purpose of weight loss. Juice cleanses is aimed mainly to aid your body to detoxify and regain health. However, for people who are in need of serious weight loss we recommend you watch these videos and speak to us for more insight on it.
How much water should I drink during a juice cleanse?
You should also be drinking plenty of water during a juice cleanse Aim for at least 8 – 10 glasses per day.
What is alkaline water? And when should it be consumed?
It is believed that there are several benefits to drinking alkaline water. These include balancing the body's pH if it's too acidic, helping the body absorb certain minerals more easily (calcium, magnesium and potassium) and being easier to absorb than regular water. Similar to spring water, which is naturally alkaline, our alkaline waters (in Bangkok) are made by mixing water together with an alkaline solution made from the sap produced by the flowering branch of a coconut tree. We do not use ionizers, which work by passing water over metals such as platinum or titanium. Alkaline water can be consumed anytime during the day.
Will I gain my weight back after the fast?
Gaining a few pounds back is normal after going back to solid foods. You should aim to eat raw, whole, fresh and unprocessed foods in order to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. Feeling the way you feel (which is amazing!) after a cleanse will motivate you to eat clean after, hence helping in overall weight loss/maintenance.
Can I drink coffee during the juice cleanse?
Coffee itself is acidic. We highly suggest that you remove all caffeine during a juice cleanse, as this may cause headaches and interfere with the body's abilities to properly eliminate toxins. However, if need be, to ease symptoms of coffee withdrawal, you can opt for green tea instead which is much lower in caffeine.
Can an underweight person fast?
Yes, after a fast, you may notice your impaired digestion is normalized. And your ability to absorb food is increased.
Can everyone do a juice cleanse?
Juice cleanse is not recommended for young growing children under 12 years, pregnant and lactating women. For those who are terminally ill and are bedridden, with a serious illness, heart disease, diabetic, and people who are on prescription should consult their doctors before diving into a juice cleanse.
Can I still exercise during a fast?
Yes! We encourage cleansers to get moving during their cleanse as it assists detoxification process. We recommend yoga, pilates, swimming, walking and anything that is light and stress-free.
Can I take supplements during cleanse?
We do not recommend taking supplements during a juice cleanse. You are already feeding your body with a wide range of nutrients and vitamins from the fresh juices, they will give you all that you need to power up! However if you are on medications, continue to take prescribed medications. Consult your doctor for more information.
Is vomiting during a cleanse normal?
Yes, this can be one of the many side effects of detoxification and what we call a "healing crisis". Your body will react in different ways to the process of toxin elimination. As the toxin passes through your blood stream, that's when you feel most uncomfortable. It is not common to vomit, however it can happen. Keep in mind the body will react in many ways while they are working on getting rid of stored toxins and detox symptoms. They can range from headaches, fatigue, aches and pains. They are all indication of the cleansing works happening in your body.
Won't fruit sugar make me gain weight?
All food first must be converted into sugar, whether the originating food is carbohydrate, protein, or fat. Carbohydrates are the
easiest to convert to useful sugars. Fruits are mostly simple carbohydrates. It is much easier on the digestive system to process fruits for fuel because they are composed primarily of sugars, requiring much less digestive energy. Fruit is nature's healthiest food, perfectly designed for humans. Raw fruit sugar will not cause you to gain weight, but always best to practice moderation. Vegetables are always the better option, hence our cleanse juices are all made with at least 70% veggies and at most 30% fruits. (Please keep in mind that raw fruits and cooked, processed sugar are not the same and will react differently within the system). For those who want more vegetables and more 100% veggie juices, we recommend going for our level 3 cleanse (Guru Cleanse).
What's the difference between Level 1, 2 and 3?
Our level 1 is recommended for beginners, with slightly higher calorie (approximately 1200kcal) and easier juices to drink! Level 2 and 3 are more vegetable dense compared to Level 1 and are ideal for experienced cleansers. Our level 3 contains mainly green veggie juices.
Can children do a juice cleanse?
We don't recommend that children under the age of 12 do a juice cleanse. However it would be great to get a regular juice delivery at home to supplement the whole family's fruit and veggie intake. You can check out our subscription packages for regular delivery.

Plant based foods contain high amounts of protein and calcium. Our green juices and nut milk contains high levels of protein and calcium.
How long do frozen juices last for?
Frozen juices can last up for 3 whole weeks. However, before freezing your juices, do keep in mind that you need to tip out small amount of juice from the bottle to avoid them from exploding in your freezer.
