Juice Boost
Unless you’re a seasoned juicer (or Gwyneth Paltrow!), juice cleanse programmes of a week or two can be an unwelcome shock to the body. For a more sustainable alternative to boost your engine, check out HICJUICE’s 5:2 Juice Plan. Inspired by the 5:2 intermittent fast diet, this programme aims to recharge, cleanse and boost fat metabolism. The team tells us more.
How does the 5:2 Juice Plan work?
Intermittent fasting triggers the body’s processes that protect and repair. It’s also a safe and alternative approach to weight loss as the body can burn fat at a higher rate after a period of fasting for 12 hours or more. With the 5:2 Juice Plan, you limit your calorie intake for two non-consecutive days a week; the other five days involve a balanced diet as usual. During fasting days, you’ll consume three 300ml bottles of nutrient-dense cold-pressed juices and protein-rich nut milks.
Why juice during the fasting days?
Rather than counting calories during fasting days, HICJUICE makes it simple with a nutritional juice plan designed by nutritionists to ensure a caloric deficit, whilst making sure that you get the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs.
What benefits can I see from the 5:2 Juice Plan?
It’s part of a sustainable lifestyle of intermittent fasting that takes a longer term approach to healthy dieting, beyond losing weight. You can expect to feel lighter, more alert and energised. You’ll also be more mindful of your diet on non-fasting days. And it helps to train your body to utilise fat as a source of energy. This juice plan is not presented as a short-term solution, but rather a longer term approach to healthy dieting.
