A few questions I have been asked since I started the seven days:
1) What should be the exact amount of each juice?
Each juice should yield at least 250ml, 400ml is fine. 500ml feels too much to me. I take it rather liberal and add some ice cubes or water if I want more liquid. Or I juice an extra apple.
2) What is the approximate overall amount you drink during the day?
The 4 juices plus about 4-5 big mugs of water or tea. The amount depends on how cold I feel (more hot water or tea) and on how hungry I am. At the beginning of the detox I drink more than during the last days.
3) Do you take any supplements while detoxing?
I alternate between Schindele’s Mineralien and wheatgrass powder, one teaspoon a day added to the water or juice.
4) How do you fight a hunger attack?
In case of bad hunger SOS Jason Vale suggests to eat a banana, an avocado or a raw fruit bar.
5) Do you recommend sports while detoxing?
A huge “YES”. The more you exercise the better for your mind and body.
Yoga, long walks, running, a bit of rebounding are perfect.
6) What else can I do to further enhance the detox?
Take a long bath with sea salt, get a deep tissue massage.
If you have more questions, I’m happy to answer them.
