Victory Tastes SweetThere are more juice cleanse and fast products on the market than we can list, but it turns out they might be just a tad overrated. While juice cleanses can promote quick weight loss, much of what’s lost comes back quickly once returning to a real-food diet. And juicing in place of chowing down on some actual food can have some potentially dangerous side effects including fatigue and protein deprivation. While a superfood-packed veggie smoothie can be a great addition to the day’s routine, it’s best not to think of them as adequate replacements for an entire day’s worth of meals. The Takeaway: Do your research before jumping into a juice cleanse, and know that you could be losing essential nutrients (like protein)!
