naks jumu-juice diet. :)
the reason why i wanted to try this out is because i've been hearing good reviews about the effects of detoxifying/cleansing via juice diet. and you know, a lot of celebrities are vouching on this healthy habit too and knowing their vanity, it has to be effective.
nakiki-uso lang talaga ko. LOL. but kidding aside, i thought this is a good jumpstart to eating clean and healthy. kung pwede lang mabuhay na ganito lang but that's gonna be so expensive. hahaha
so let's start! madaming sikat dyan and endorsed by celebrities, i personally wanted to try Detoxify Bar but they don't deliver to our place at QC, and you have to reserve at least 1 day to have your juice processed. same goes with Skinny Juicery and Fitness Potions. you have to reserve at least a day before your planned diet, and they have very limited delivery areas too.
that's when i found Sly Diet! actually di ko alam kung pano ko nahagilap to, i think i was just browsing fb pages offering juice diets and i came across it! :D Fortunately, they deliver at fairview area so ang saya ko lang! haha anyway,
Sly Diet has 5 flavors available and they're numbered too so i took them in that order for the entire day hehe
1. Power Trip
spinach, parsley, celery, brocolli, sweet potato, apple and ginger
i liked the taste of this soo much cos it reeks majorly of celery and i love celery!
2. Alkaline Divine
lemon, pink grapefruit, melon, cayenne, honey and alkaline water
this one's really spicy yet refreshing. i love how the melon tasted in this! hehe
3. True Love
red grapes, beet, lychee, apple
i loooove lychee and grapes, and together they're true love haha.
4. Berry Brilliance
goji, cranberry, cherry, pure coconut juice
this is probably the clearest drink. no residual stuff and bits. i also like how this tastes, pwede inumin ng derecho perfect pang quench ng uhaw! >XD
5. Vanity Affair
carrot, apple, cucumber, ginger, honey
i love carrots so i definitely loved how this tastes!
they didn't really provide me with a "program" on how to take them so i just followed the number in the bottles. haha i drank them in this order
6am - upon waking - tea (para warm hehe)
8am - breakfast - (1) Power Trip
10am - morning snack - (2) Alkaline Divine
12nn - lunch - (3) True Love
3pm - afternoon snack - (4) Berry Brilliance
5pm - early dinner - (5) Vanity Affair
8pm - dinner - green tea (i drink lipton green tea with mint)
but hey i didn't really follow the strictly no solid food diet haha whenever i crave for something solid i eat crackers. hehe i also eat oatmeal raisin cookies along with my nighttime tea para masaya.
and in fairness! i hardly felt hungry throughout the days. as in! sapat na ung maka-4 crackers a day ako! hoy 640 calories din yun sa isang araw, mukang mabigat, but it helped ease the psychological hunger. but really, during my day 1 i only ate 3 cookies during the night. i never craved for anything during the day, i felt full but not bloated.
it was a very refreshing experience!
orayt, on to their prices (which are, of course, subject to change):
Small - 250mL - Php 175
Medium - 350mL - Php 220
Large - 500mL - Php 340
they deliver for free (at least for now?) and one thing to note is that they don't have insulated bags hehe they put the bottles in paper bags hehe so i suggest you buy your own bag if you want to bring it to the office (i had my juices delivered in the office so no hassle derecho sa ref hehe)
a day of full cleansing costs Php 1,320 hehe
for optimum results you may do it for 3 days straight. i did it for the first time and i felt better and lighter. some (dalawa lang actually hahaha) people say na mejo pumayat na nga ko. haha but the point is really to jumpstart a clean eating habit and this program definitely launched me for a good start!
you can opt for a full day cleanse like what i did, or for beginners, you can start by replacing your meals with Power Trip at least twice a day. just carry on with the smell, i'm sure that for those who are not used to eating greens they'll find everything disgusting. so sanayan lang din!
