Juice-only reboot

Get started
We advise easing into and out of the juice-only Reboot with approximately 5 days of eating veggies and fruits plus juicing. Joe also does this before and after he Reboots. It’s important to get your body ready for the juice-only Reboot to help minimize constipation, fatigue, and other side effects that may occur during the first few days of just juicing. The intention is to help boost your nutrient intake and get you used to a healthy diet before embarking on your Reboot program. Gradual changes will make your Reboot experience more enjoyable and possibly more effective.
1. Knowledge is power. Learn some simple, but important facts about food that will help you make informed eating decisions.
2. Invest in a good quality juicer.
3. Identify an affordable source of local, seasonal produce and make shopping lists.
4. Start changing the way you eat. At least one week prior to beginning your Reboot plan.
- Say Goodbye To: processed junk foods, white flours, sugar/desserts, fried food, fast food, processed meats, alcohol and begin to wean yourself off caffeine.
- Say Hello To: salads, soups, smoothies with a variety of fruits and vegetables as well as whole grains, nuts, seeds, natural nut butters, beans and legumes.
- Transitioning off animal proteins: choose wild-caught fish, organic eggs, gradually decrease poultry during the week and choose only organic varieties when you eat them. If you eat red meat choose only grass-fed organic, lean and don’t eat this past day 3 of the preparation week. By last day of the week, your protein should come from solely plant sources such as beans, nuts, legumes (for example, black beans, hummus, chick peas, lentils, edamame)
- Transitioning off dairy: Choose only low or non-fat organic dairy with little to no added sugars. If you choose soy, rice or almond milk also get unflavored/plain to limit the sugar content. Choose organic cheese, and transition from cow’s milk cheese to goat cheese by the middle of the week. By the end of the week (day 5) all dairy should be out of your diet to prepare for the Reboot.
5. Preparation the Night before your Reboot.
- Stop all NON-PRESCRIPTION vitamins/supplements during the Reboot unless you have been advised to take them by a physician. Don’t take any self-prescribed, over-the-counter medications.
- Hydrate well (at least 64-72 ounces a day)
- Set up your juicer the night before – get all parts cleaned and ready on your kitchen counter. You can even prep your veggies and fruits by cleaning them ahead of time and storing them in the fridge to make your morning run more smoothly.
- Go to bed early and get a good night’s sleep.
Day Schedule
Start your Reboot! Plan to drink about 4-6 juices, 16-20 ounces each, spread throughout the day. Include at least one green juice a day but also enjoy a rainbow of colors for the full spectrum of micronutrients that are beneficial for health and wellness.You will also need to drink plenty of water – at least 64 ounces in addition to your juices. Herbal tea (without caffeine), hot water with lemon, and unflavored coconut water are also options for fluids besides plain water.
Drinking juice fresh is best but storing for 24 hours in the fridge is also a good option and helpful for staying on track. You can store your juice for up to 72 hours as a maximum. You can also freeze juice – drink this within 7-10 days to minimize nutrient losses.
