1. Should I cleanse?
YES! Everyone should cleanse to feel the benefits of more energy and better digestion. Cleansing allows your body to rid itself of harmful toxins which are consumed everyday. If you are experiencing headaches, blemishes, or body odor, among other things, your body is sending you a message. The body cannot rid itself of the toxins that have entered the bloodstream and are showing up in potentially harmful ways. Total Cleanse gives our bodies the opportunities to take a break from the daily hardship of digesting processed foods.
2. Can I drink coffee, alcohol or smoke?
NO! Aside from being bad for you, coffee and alcohol are dehydrating while smoking will kill you.
3. Can I cleanse if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
You can but you will have to supplement with additional calories. You do not want to limit your calories when you are pregnant or breastfeeding because your baby is relying on you for nourishment.
4. Can I add sugar substitutes to my water or juices?
No! If you must sweeten your juice, stick to a high grade organic maple syrup. Total Cleanse is all about limiting harmful refined sugars.
5. When should I drink my Juice?
Start each morning of the cleanse with a nice glass of plain or lemon water. Within the first hour or two of waking up you should drink your Green Energy Juice. You should drink your juices every 2-3 hours apart and finish it within 15 minutes to preserve freshness.
6. What if I’m hungry?
Even though your calories are somewhat restricted, there are enough calories in your juices to get you through the day. You should not eat any solid foods while cleansing (even vegetables) as this will affect the benefits of the cleanse. Total Cleanse allows your digestive system a much-needed rest. Eating will interfere with that resting period. If you feel weak, skip your workout and go home and relax! Remember, you are cleansing and shouldn’t push yourself.
7. I’ve completed the first day and feel good, should I stay on for longer?
Yes! The longer you stay on the cleanse, the more toxins will be removed from your body.
8. Is it safe to do if I’m breastfeeding or pregnant?
You do not need to eat for two if you are breastfeeding or pregnant. While pregnant your digestive system becomes more efficient and extracts more nutrients from your diet. However, because Total Cleanse provides you with a below average amount of calories you will have to supplement your cleanse with additional foods like fruits, vegetables and proteins. You should still try to omit dairy and meat from your diet while you are cleansing.
9. Is it safe for Children?
Yes, but you’ll have to add additional food to their program because the average child require more calories. Try replacing their juice box or soda for one of our fresh juices!
10. Will I lose Weight?
Weight loss is a possible outcome but not the goal of Total Cleanse. This is a cleanse designed to give your body a break from and to eliminate harmful toxins. Total Cleanse aims to put you on track to leading a much healthier life.
11. Can I cleanse if I have diabetes?
Check with your doctor first as some of our juices contain higher amounts of sugar which may be too much for you to consume at one time.
12. Can I cleanse if I’m on Medications?
You should be able to but check with your doctor first.
13. Can I do the cleanse if I am a Vegetarian?
Yes. There are no animal by-products in our juice.
14. I don’t want to start my cleanse on Monday can I start it on Tuesday? How long will my juice last?
You can start your cleanse on Tuesday but your juices will still get delivered on Monday morning. Our delivery dates do not change! Your juice will only stay fresh for 3 days so it is extremely important that you consume all of your juice within three days of receiving your package.
15. Why does your juice only last for 3 days?
Our juice is made entirely fresh and unpasteurized with no chemicals or additives to give you the full benefit of completely natural fruits and vegatables. Accordingly, it has a shorter shelf life than pasteurized products.

We can delay your program if you contact us two-days in advance before the cut-off times.

19. Should I be drinking water while on Total Cleanse?
