But recently, I\u2019ve been indulging quite a bit (read: gorging myself on) chocolate. It had gotten to the point where I was eating chocolate until I felt sick, which is why I decided to go on a juice cleanse wherein you consume nothing but fresh juices for two days. My goal was to de-bloat and curb my sugar cravings and help me kickstart a healthier eating plan; here is an overview of my horrible experience: <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shechive.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/06\/jog-and-drink-green-shit.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  To start with, a morning without coffee is\u2026hell. Although the juice tasted better than I expected, I found myself craving the bitter taste of coffee. Somehow I convinced myself that I should be proud of what I was doing in the moment and found the will to carry on, after all, it takes guts to give up eating actual food. <i>*pats self on the back*<\/i><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/43755.png\" width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  Here are some of the juices I tried:<\/p>\n<p>  <b>Spinach + orange<\/b>: Drank my way straight to the bathroom. Gross.<br \/>  <b>Lettuce + apple + celery<\/b>: Completely tasteless.<br \/>  <b>Cucumber + sweet pepper<\/b>: This was my favorite, refreshing and yummy.<br \/>  <b>Kale + cucumber + sweet pepper<\/b>: This was the worst thing I&#8217;ve ever put in my mouth. <\/p>\n<p>  As the day progressed, I started feeling some hunger pangs, so I just kept sipping juice in tiny increments. This helped because I\u2019m someone who likes to snack, but eventually I ended up regretting my constant need to have something in my mouth when I felt the need to be near a bathroom every few minutes. Now, the good part about this juicing diet was that even though I felt hungry, I didn\u2019t crave any particular foods. I just wanted to eat something, anything! I missed the ritual of putting something in my mouth, chewing it, and swallowing it. It made me realize one thing: I am obsessed with food. <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/24.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_m61fmus8wY1r3e62yo1_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  I woke up the next day feeling surprisingly great; I felt healthy and refreshed. I actually had energy and felt less bloated than I usually do. But in terms of the juicing, it was just as bad. I couldn\u2019t stand drinking another juice or even looking at it. The juices had not grown on me at all, I kept putting off drinking any until I was extremely hungry and when I did, I just drank it immediately just so I wouldn\u2019t have to endure the taste. I felt so light headed from it all and even a little dizzy. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>The verdict:<\/b> This is definitely not something I would recommend. I only did it to help flush out that icky and bloated feeling I had after consuming so much sugar two days prior, but juicing is not a sustainable diet for anybody to follow. It did however help me feel better after my chocolate binge. <\/big><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><big>I\u2019ve never been a fan of crash dieting because I feel like if
