Day 3 of My 3 Day Juice Cleanse with GoodStuff Juices Summer Slim

OMIGOSH, I made it you guys!!!

I weighed in at 160.8, bringing my new total lost to 2.8 pounds lost in two days. This morning my stomach actually felt slim and skinny, I’d lost all bloat from the previous two days. It was one of those, “Damn, I’m getting sexy!” mornings.

First Part of the Day – I had had a HORRIBLE night, with my deployed husband messaging me at midnight (I went to bed at 10pm) to tell me he had hit port in Thailand. I ended up chatting with him till 6am and not going back to bed. I really, really REALLY wanted to do the cleanse 100% without cheats, but I ended up making myself a cup of plain coffee with a splash of milk. NO WAY I was going to get through the day with two hours of sleep and no coffee.

One thing I noticed right off the bat was that I had NO appetite whatsoever today. Like, no hunger pains, no urges or desires or cravings even. If I hadn’t set myself reminders to drink the juices at the set times, I could have EASILY gone without all of the juices for today. The magical “juicing is easy once you get through the hard part” moment had come. YAY ME!

Oh yeah, and my bowel movement, while no longer urgent, were still stinky and pretty constant throughout the day. Whatever these juices are doing, they are cleaning me out in a massive way, I would expect this degree of colon detoxing from a course of Dr. Oz colon detox pills or something, lol.

Middle Part of the Day – So I was REALLY depressed today (having a marital spat with the husband during a deployment ranks up there with having teeth drilled and losing a pet – two things ironically enough I also have had to endure this deployment!) and I still found that I had NO energy, just like the day before. How much of my low energy funk was due to depression, two hours of sleep, or juicing, I’m not sure. But I coasted through the morning with my juices, not feeling hungry, not feeling deprived, just kind of hanging on and working through my emotional crap. My alarm didn’t go off for my noon juice and I ended up drinking two juices at 2pm.. serious have NO appetite today!

Last Part of the Day – I had my last juice (forced myself to drink it really… was pushing the water and my tummy felt full and hydrated all day) and patted myself on a job well done, with only ONE minor cheat – having a cup of black coffee with a teensy bit of plain milk on Day 3. I wish I had more to share about my Day 3 experience but it was so NORMAL feeling, and non-dramatic, that it would be like saying, “Today, I had food.” Nothing special there. I just drank my juices and went about my day, and aside from my emotional bullshit, I felt pretty damn good.

The Following Day – I weighed in today at 159.8 pounds, making a grand total of 3.2 pounds lost on my 3 day cleanse, which actually falls perfectly in line with the claims of losing 1 pound a day during a juice cleanse. My tummy felt SUPER flat, my skin felt SO SOFT, and I had no appetite whatsoever. Around noon I thought, “I really should eat something” but seriously had NO desire to eat! In fact, if I’d had more, I would have easily and willingly continued the juice fast!

I finally decided a salad at Chipotles would be a nice treat, and had a nice slow meal, only finishing half the salad before I felt stuffed. My tummy did feel a little rumbly after having my first solid meal in 3 days, but otherwise I felt fine! I also got a compliment on my complexion, and I had THOUGHT my skin was looking just-juiced radiant that morning.. was fun to get confirmation!

So my final thoughts on the juice fast? TOTALLY worth it as a diet junk start, a detox routine, or even just before some major event where you could use a good de-bloating. These juices were straight up delicious, filling, and totally did the trick to clean me out and slim me down in just 3 days. Would highly recommend if you were in the market for a juice cleanse! <3

A Little Bit About GoodStuff Juices

From the GoodStuff Juices website (CLICK HERE to visit or place an order):

We make real authentic cold-pressed juice. Intentionally unpasteurized. We do it right that means we never add water, sugars, flavor or anything that would compromise the nutrient quality of the juice. We also use #9 certified organic fruits and vegetables. Add all that up and factor in that we own the Mercedes Benz of cold-pressed juicer machines and you have GoodStuff Juices.

The inspiration to start GoodStuff Juices was to create the easiest access to the best liquid nutrients in the world because real cold pressed juicing is considered expensive and a huge hassle, so people over look the benefits of drinking real cold pressed juice daily. 

Our cold-pressed juice provides more nutritional benefit and is a great way to round out your diet helping you live a balanced life.
