Juvanex 7-Day Detox Program

(image from myjuvanex)

Using Juvanex to kick-start my weight loss program. As far as I can see it's not like other 'detox' teas or weight loss aids, which mostly seem to act like laxatives. My mom uses this once a year just to have an annual cleanse, and she swears it makes her feel better. This is my first try.

Recommended retail price is RM160 on the box but it is usually RM128. At times during sales it may drop to RM108. Don't pay more than RM128.

It comes with 28 sachets, 4 per day for 7 days. Previously the powder came in a bottle but now it is more convenient as it's pre-measured and easy to tote along if you're going out.

The powder dissolves completely in water. Just with a couple of shakes in the included tumbler. It has a strong lemony taste which is bitter at times but it is 95% pleasant-tasting so there is no need to chug and choke it down.

The recommended diet is pretty strict
Day 1 & 2 - fruits
Day 3 & 4 - add vegetables
Day 5 & 6 - add fish, chicken
Day 7 - add wheat & dairy

Example of Day 1 diet
Breakfast - 2 sachets (with water or fruit juice) + 1 slice of fruit*
Lunch - 1 slice of fruit every 2 hours, a few almonds or sunflower/pumpkin seeds
Dinner - 2 sachets + steamed vegetables or vegetable soup with a little brown rice
* Fruits - recommended to not have citrus fruits or bananas

Needless to say I did not stick to the diet. It was fajitas night at home and I cannot resist my husband's grilling :) For the next few days it will be better diet, much closer to the recommended diet. I'll do a full review at the end of the program.

Start Date - Thursday, 10 Mar
End Date - Wednesday, 16 Mar
