Given that I am new to cleansing, I went with the easiest, the Renovation cleanse. Be warned: there is still a lot of green juice involved in this. The cleanse lasts 3 days, and you are only allowed the provided juice, water and green tea.
I'd love to tell you that the juice cleanse was great, I never want anything but juice and that it was no trouble at all. That is not the case. The green juice... took some getting used to. At first, I couldn't even drink it without holding my nose. After my first bottle, I learned to follow each sip with a big sip of water, and that made things better (a water "chaser," if you will). By the end of the cleanse, I actually didn't mind the green juice. That said, I'm not exactly going to order some extra green juice to drink, but for a pre-bottled green juice, it wasn't terrible.
Additionally, while I wasn't hungry during the day on the cleanse, at night, I was starving. Now, this is likely my fault — I really disliked the texture of the cashew milk each night (though the flavor was nice), and rarely drank more than a few sips. Had I finished the bottle, I likely never would have been hungry. Instead, I went to bed every night extremely hungry. In fact, it was so bad that on the first night, I cheated and ate a sugar-free applesauce (not quite solid, so it barely counts as cheating, right?!).
Otherwise, it wasn't so bad. During the day, I actually felt great, like I had more energy. I even worked out with my trainer as usual, and felt great throughout the workout. At the end of the cleanse, I didn't feel particularly enlightened, nor did I lose my cravings for heavier foods (it was January, after all!). But I did learn a lot about my body's general needs during the cleanse, and I learned that I have the willpower to make it through 3 days consuming only juice (and 1 rogue applesauce cup). If you are thinking about doing a cleanse, I definitely recommend Blueprint, and I may even consider doing a juice cleanse again in the future.
