Some are dubious of ‘juicing,’\u00a0a controversial\u00a0fitness trend popularised in the States, in which\u00a0no\u00a0solid foods\u00a0pass your lips for as long as you intend to juice. While it can\u00a0shift some initial weight, how can it\u00a0have lasting long-term benefits?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Others, on the other hand,\u00a0maintain that it is\u00a0a genuine way to reboot your body’s way of thinking and help kickstart a healthier life, while breaking bad food habits. The people at\u00a0Detox Delight are\u00a0definitely some\u00a0of the latter. Detox Delight is a\u00a0Dubai based cleanse provider\u00a0offering a whole range of\u00a0options,\u00a0starting from one-off day cures to 20-30 day cleanses; in the cleansing\u00a0business since 2008,\u00a0these guys are\u00a0proof that juicing\u00a0is\u00a0not a fad.<\/p>\n

I tried their\u00a0two day soup and juice cleanse to see what it’s really like…here’s how I got on:<\/p>\n

The facts<\/h3>\n

Juicing is a total detox of your body, done by consuming only fresh,\u00a0untreated fruit and vegetables.<\/p>\n

All ingredients used\u00a0by Detox Delight\u00a0are raw, vegan,\u00a0gluten free, natural and organic. You can choose a juice-only cleanse, a cleanse\u00a0including soups or a combinations of juices, soups and balanced meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company will provide you with all the info you need for your detox, including how to prepare for it, tips for\u00a0during it (when hunger strikes)\u00a0and, most importantly;\u00a0aftercare.\u00a0All info is laid-out in a handy guide you’ll receive by email and, if you have any more questions, anyone from the Detox Delight office will be happy to help you out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s not as hard as you think<\/h3>\n

It really isn’t. Each juice (four per\u00a0day) is 500ml. The key is to follow the instructions carefully. Wait as long as you can in the morning before you start your first juice, sip the juice\u00a0slowly\u00a0and GUZZLE water. H20 is your friend;\u00a0if you feel like snacking, have some water and see how you feel in ten minutes. A detox like this does totally reset your body –\u00a0even in two days, I was surprised at the results.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What to expect<\/h3>\n

The evening before I was due to start, I received a big box of goodies;\u00a0eight juices, two soups and two ‘snacks’. Did your ears prick up at snacks? Of course you can\u00a0snack if you NEED to, but the detox will work better of you manage to refrain, which I’m proud to say I\u00a0did *self-pats on back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Everything I tried was fresh, tasty and packed with goodness; although\u00a0the curry lemongrass soup was\u00a0easily my favourite. The cleanse is really\u00a0manageable.\u00a0I made it through work each day with no\u00a0real issues, but by 4pm I\u00a0hit a slump;\u00a0luckily I still had a soup and juice to go, so I\u00a0made it through comfortably,\u00a0knowing it was just\u00a0a two day cleanse (some people can last at it for a week!).<\/p>\n

Did it actually work?<\/h3>\n

You can’t expect a miracle in two days, but I was happily surprised with the results.\u00a0On the weighing scale\u00a0I was down about a kilo, but what was most noticeable was\u00a0how much\u00a0flatter my stomach\u00a0felt and stayed. You might expect to want to gorge after two days with\u00a0no solid foods, however my appetite has reduced. Rather than a big brekkie and lunch\u00a0the next\u00a0day, I was\u00a0more aware of how much I ate\u00a0and felt\u00a0full\u00a0more quickly.\u00a0Thinking of starting a diet? This is the perfect kickstarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Why bother?<\/h3>\n

Detox <\/strong>and\u00a0<\/strong>Cleanse<\/strong> your body;\u00a0a great way to\u00a0rejuvenate\u00a0your body in a healthy way<\/p>\n

It’s super convenient\u00a0<\/strong>with\u00a0food brought straight to your door. No time wasted<\/strong> shopping or cooking (perfect if you’ve got a busy lifestyle)<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, there’s\u00a0less temptation <\/strong>during a cleanse,\u00a0since you won’t be in any supermarkets\u00a0(make sure you fridge is empty before you start!)<\/p>\n

You’ll feel lighter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kickstart<\/strong> a healthy lifestyle – there is no magic formula, but use a cleanse to start-off a healthy eating plan the right way<\/p>\n

The important bits<\/h3>\n

Detox Delight has an entire range of detox cleanses. Hard core juicers will love the total juice diets, brave newbies (like myself) will like the juice and soup options and for a longer cleanse,\u00a0the combination of both soups, juices and balanced meals should suit most.<\/p>\n

Detox Delights also offers specially\u00a0snacks\u00a0for purchase;\u00a0all raw, vegan, organic\u00a0and gluten free. Alternatively, the handy guide provided offers a range of super healthy snacks you can prepare yourself.<\/p>\n

For more info and prices check out their website<\/a><\/p>\n

What we didn’t like<\/h3>\n

It’s pricey. A typical day cleanse will cost anything from AED 370.<\/p>\n

Ramadan Deals<\/h3>\n

For anyone\u00a0fasting\u00a0this\u00a0Ramadan, staying healthy can be a bit of a nightmare, especially with\u00a0the abundance for amazing Iftars going on. Detox Delight<\/a> have provided a healthy alternative to the usual feasting. Check out more info about their Ramadan packages here<\/a><\/p>\n
