Individuals who are seeing a doctor for a medical condition are advised to discuss the suitability of the 5-Day Plan with their doctor.
Diabetics or individuals with high blood pressure who would like to take the 5-Day Plan should monitor their blood sugar or blood pressure levels closely during the 5-Day Plan (especially for the first 2 days).
If you are on short-term medication (e.g. for a cold or flu), we suggest that you start after you recover.
The 5-Day Plan may help promote digestive and gastrointestinal health. Individuals who are worried about heartburn or over-secretion of gastric juices due to the reduced food intake during the 5-Day Plan can opt to split every Smoothie Shake serving into 2 servings.
For example, mix half sachet each of Punch, Zyme and VG Mix with 150ml of water and drink the Smoothie Shake for breakfast. Follow immediately with a glass of water. 1 to 2 hours later, take another 150ml of Smoothie Shake and follow with another glass of water. Repeat for lunch and dinner.
There are a few reasons:
For best results, you should try to refrain from drinking coffee or tea while on the 5-Day Plan. If you must, we suggest that you try to limit to half your usual portion, and choose a low sugar, no creamer version.
Exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle and we encourage it! However, it’s not advisable to start a strenuous exercise programme while on the 5-Day Plan as your body is also adjusting and focusing its energy on cleansing efforts. If you are already on a strenuous programme, consider modifying it while you are on the plan.
While on the 5-Day Plan, our body is adjusting to a lower sugar and caloric intake. Our bodies may react differently to this (just like a ‘withdrawal symptom’). Some of us may experience a slight headache, others may feel muscle aches or lower energy levels. It’s our body’s way of ‘complaining and whining’.
If you are able to distract yourself from this, that’s great. If otherwise, you may want to pick a little perk-me-up from the Cheat-Sheet in 5-Day Plan Guru or have a small glass of no-sugar-added fresh fruit juice.
Insufficient fluid intake may also cause mild dehydration, and an ensuing headache. Make sure you drink the recommended amounts.
There may be a few reasons:
To relieve the situation, try the following suggestions:
For a long-term solution, we should build a healthy flora balance in our gut and increase our daily fibre intake so that our body can become more conditioned to the high fibre amount.
While on the 5-Day Plan, our body’s vitality increases and so does its ability to eliminate built-up toxins. Our body will try to initiate some temporary cleansing reactions and this is commonly mistaken as “it makes me unwell”.
Pollutants leave our system any way they can through urine, bowels, skin, gas and breath. Some common cleansing reactions and their possible causes can include:
Common Cleansing Reactions | Possible Causes |
---|---|
headache | caffeine withdrawal; toxins may be released into bloodstream to be removed; (also refer to Q6) |
flu-like symptoms (e.g. joint pain, muscle aches, sore throat, chills, nausea) | detoxification reaction - some disease-causing agents in the body may be being eliminated |
skin breakouts | increased detoxification via skin which is a major eliminatory organ |
nasal congestion, mucus | the mucus from the throat, chest or nose is the waste to be expelled and removed |
bad breath, coating on tongue | waste is being eliminated; body may not be having enough water to speed up waste removal; waste may be passed through the lungs which acts as an eliminatory organ |
fatigue, dizziness | acidic body; body is working hard to eliminate waste |
bloating, flatulence, diarrhea | increased bacterial activity and breaking down of stagnant waste in gut |
nausea | lymph glands release toxins at such a fast rate that the liver has to manage the excess, which gets emitted with bile into the stomach |
constipation | when the liver and kidneys are overwhelmed by the amount of toxins being released, one may experience constipation; (also refer to Q7) |
These symptoms usually go away in 1 to 3 days depending on the waste levels in our body. This cleansing process is essential to achieve good health and should not be suppressed with drugs. Drink plenty of water to help flush the waste out of the body. Waste elimination via bowel clearing, sweating and urination will help relieve the situation.
Our bad food habits were usually the cause of our unhealthy weight, and if we revert to the same habits, it would be inevitable that we gain it all back. Look at the 5-Day Plan as a fast-start programme, but ride on its results and adopt a healthier lifestyle (e.g. eating the right-sized portions, practising enzyme-rich diet style).
After successfully completing the 5-Day Plan, many of us also continue to manage our weight by having the products for either breakfast or dinner. (Please refer to the Plans For You at the end of 5-Day Plan Guru.)
After a round of the 5-Day Plan, if you still have a bit more to lose, we recommend that you take up a second round of the 5-Day Plan a week later. For the second round, you’re going to achieve your new goal much more effortlessly.
Alternatively, you may refer to the Plans For You (please refer to 5-Day Plan Guru) to meet your ongoing needs.
5-Day Plan is high-fibre and enzyme-rich smoothie drink, which helps to replenish the body with enzymes. It is a holistic plan that supports the body's internal cleansing processes to eliminate waste, helps promote digestion for enhanced nutrition absorption and helps boost metabolism.
Juiced! is an antioxidant-rich fermented juice concentrate, which helps to improve bowel movements and supplement unbalanced diets.
While they can be consumed together, there is no need to. We recommend to consume 5-Day Plan and Juiced! on separate occasions for different targeted benefits.
However, should you wish to encourage bowel movements while on the 5-Day Plan, you can consider consuming 1 sachet of Juiced! every 2-3 days as a supplementation product.
People who are more sensitive to high-fibre content may need to consider the total fibre intake if both products are consumed together as they are both fibre-rich products.
You can mix Juiced! with room temperature water or cold water. Do not mix Juiced! wth warm or hot liquids or food as the temperature could affect the SOD-like content and antioxidant activity, reducing product effectiveness.
Yes, you can mix Juiced! with other beverages as long as they are room temperature and below. For individuals facing bloatedness, it is best to avoid mixing Juiced! with carbonated drinks as it may worsen such conditions.
No, it is not necessary to refrigerate Juiced! However, please be reminded to store the product in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight.
Juiced! is best taken in the morning before breakfast on an empty stomach. If you are suffering from gastritis related conditions, we recommend to dilute Juiced! before consuming or consume after meals.
For elderly, pregnant or breastfeeding women, we recommend to start with lesser amount and gradually increase based on his/her body's adaption to the product.
As each pregnancy condition is unique, we recommend pregnant women to consult their gynaecologist or health care provider before consuming.
For children below 12 years old, we recommend to dilute and consume in lesser amounts. Do note that children aged below 3 years old should not consume Juiced! as their digestive system is still maturing and are more sensitive.
For regular bowel movements, we recommend to consume 1 sachet a day.
For more severe constipation, you can take up to 2 sachets a day.
For normal supplementation to diets, we recommend to consume 1 sachet once every 2-3 days.
This could be due to insufficient water consumption. Juiced! has high dietary fibre, and the lack of fluids could cause stools to be hard and difficult to pass out.
Always follow with a glass of water after consuming Juiced! and drink up to at least 2L of water a day for adequate liquid intake.
You may notice increased flatulence, stomach churning and urges to pass motion after consuming Juiced! Most people will experience little to no feelings of stomach pain. Effects experienced by individuals may also vary depending on their physical conditions.
