FAQ

Joulebody is a vegan cleansing program that helps you lose weight, end food cravings and ease into a healthier way of eating that fits your lifestyle. The Joulebody Cleanse is not just an all-liquid diet plan. It includes solid foods to satisfy your hunger so you don't feel deprived. Plus, the quick change of diet becomes less of a shock to your system.

The idea that all cleanses need to be liquid drinks is a common but outdated one. With Joulebody's special cooking techniques and added minerals in the food, the Joulebody Kickstart Cleanse works wonderfully and still allows you to have solid food.

Prior to beginning the program we ask you to complete a profile that allows you to review your daily habits and make personal adjustments. If you are a frequent coffee drinker and are unable to modify this habit during the cleanse, then we will modify your meal plan to adapt to your lifestyle.

The drinks are raw, but the meals are cooked in very controlled, limited temperatures to preserve the nutrients.

Yes, some of our meals are hearty soups with chunks of vegetables, seeds and legumes. Your menu may also include veggie burgers, salads and dessert cookies.

It is true that some cleanses are so restrictive they leave you feeling less energetic than usual. The Joulebody Kickstart Cleanse has enough protein and electrolytes to help you get through your entire day. The program also includes support materials that will help you work out safely.

Only if it in a glass bottle. We recommend that you stay away from all water in plastic containers during the cleanse. There are certain gases emitted from the plastic that could enter your liquids/meals.

Even though it's a smoothie, your first meal includes a plant-based, real food mix called "Joule Cleanse". This unique mixture provides the body with over 6 grams of protein. The smoothie also includes a fresh apple, fresh greens and berries to provide a dose of fiber in your first meal.

The Citrus Cleanse drink has a combination of maple, cayenne, lemon and/or grapefruit and a specially formulated Auryverdic tea. With this combination your taste buds will come alive. This will balance each ingredient so that one isn't more potent than the other. For our Balance bars, the total amount of sugar is 6 grams; this is a very small amount and should not effect your sugar levels negatively.

All the food for five days is delivered at the same time. We recommended that you freeze the meals for days four and five to maximize their freshness. The juices are fine refrigerated. You also have the option to split your delivery into two separate packages (there is an additional delivery charge, but you can pick up for free at 211 North End Ave. #3P Attn: Joulebody.)
***All meals are made fresh, therefore you must reserve your cleanse at least 5 days in advance.

The positive effects of eating a "clean" diet--meals that are wholesome, plant-based and mildly cooked with very specific herbs and spices--start immediately with your digestive system.

You may feel some detox symptoms such as headaches, lethargy, and small aches, but they will go away.

Each individual is unique but, usually by the second or third day of the cleanse, most clients feel great and experience an instant difference in skin tone and stomach bloat.

Weight loss usually occurs by the fourth or fifth day, which is better than immediate weight loss as it is more likely to stay off.

Having delivered thousands of meals in the past year, we found that there are 3 main programs that work for people. The costs are:

Type & Price
3 Day Go $182
3 day Kickstart $192
3 Day Active $216

We also provide 5-day programs and 20-day programs. 

*Our 20-Day program is unique in that you actually do the program for 4 weeks- 5 weekdays on and the weekends off. On Friday evening, you receive an e-mail with guidelines to help you stay on track throughout the weekend. The best part? If you get off track, you start all over again on Monday.

There are unique medical conditions that may not allow you to benefit from eating a plant-based diet for any length of time. Since I am not a doctor, I would not be able to determine if this is the case for you. We will gladly provide you with a sample menu, including ingredients and nutritional values, so you may consult with your doctor in order to decide if this program is a good fit and beneficial for you.

Anytime I create a new cleanse, I do the program. I enjoy doing the program every few weeks to reboot. Because it is so simple, easy to follow and delicious, I am able to do the program and not feel deprived.

We create our meals from real food. There are no additives, no artificial ingredients and no powder blends that we didn't create ourselves. All our meals are made in a kitchen untouched by any animal products. This helps keep a cleaner, safer environment for cooking.

Our meals are usually delivered on the day they're prepared for maximum freshness. All our ingredients are organic or local.

You can log in to Joulebody.com and explore more information listed on this site. We offer a sample menu for the week, support documents, newsletters, tips and recipes. You can also contact us if you have further questions.

Our Potassium Broth offers the body natural energy from electrolytes, B vitamins, potassium, and protein. You will find our special broth, for which we hold the copyright, in all of your meals.

Your daily menu will include a mix of meals and snacks.

Detoxing is a cleansing program that allows the liver and kidney to take a long overdue break by eliminating solid foods & harsh proteins by adding liquefied vitamins, minerals & nutrients from organic green vegetables and fruits.

To truly reap the benefits of a detox program, you should use laxatives, detox teas, supplements such as acidophilus and/or fibrous foods.

At the end of the day cleansing helps the body rid itself of free radicals which are toxins brought in by pollutants and bad foods. It will also help the body deal with issues such as weight gain from water retention, digestive problems, fatigue, and bad skin.

Overall it will assist you in achieving clearer skin, a more restful sleep, and best of all healthy weight loss.

Cleanses in general remove the pulp of vegetables and fruits and, therefore, extract water soluble fibers that help with the process of cleansing. Joulebody Cleanse also adds supplements such as flaxseed, dandelion root and aloe to help in the cleansing process.

All Joulebody Cleanse foods are full flavored and delicious. The recipes for you are selected using the information entered into your Assessment questionnaire which is designed to work with your current eating habits.

Because you are getting real nutrients from the juices and eating vegan meals, you can do it as often as you like.

You can set up appointments for nutritional consultations to assist you on your kick-start to wellness.

On a juice cleanse, you may experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, bad breath, glazed eyes and a heavily coated tongue. These are signs of the first stage of cleansing and are called Downs. 

Dips, which are shorter, last only a few hours. The greater the quantity of toxins in the blood, the worse you will feel. As unspiritual as an enema may seem, it has helped many end or reduce the crisis by removing toxins from the colon.

Hunger can be more intense in this period unless the enema is used which quickly assists the body to enter a fasting state by ending digestion in the colon.

Your emotions and way of thinking may also be affected. For example, old memories or negative feelings may suddenly arise as if from the dead, and you may experience what can best be described as a cleanse of the soul. It is easy to become discouraged, feel irritated, short-tempered or mildly depressed if this happens. However, during this difficult time you must remain positive and have faith that it will pass.

Our foods and drinks are vitamin rich. We suggest you consult your doctor, especially if you are taking high doses of supplements.

Alcoholics, smokers, and those who are addicted to drugs will receive untold benefits from this plan. The chemical changes and the cleansing of the body have a way of removing the cravings and the many probable deficiencies. Thus, the desire for the unnatural types of stimulants and depressants disappears. The usual cravings experienced and suffered in breaking away from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco no longer present themselves during and after this diet.

The Joulebody Cleanse is always plant-based and 75% raw. All of our products are vegan, gluten-free and wheat-free. The ingredients we use are researched and proven (by top scientists) to heal the liver and kidneys. So, rather than eating foods based strictly on calories, you're feeding your body essential nutrients that have medicinal properties.

Also, we created the program to satisfy your taste buds and provide pleasant smell and chewing sensations in meals that are light on the digestive system.

The meal plan is also a lifestyle that is attainable because you don't have to do it every day, but you get a big impact. It's a way to cleanse out and restart, therefore 3 days, 5 days and for some, 20 days is sufficient. This way, you can follow up with a 3-day program once a month.

Scientists such as Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Frank Lippman and Dr. Mark Hyman, to name a few, have found that herbs like turmeric, cayenne pepper, and fennel seeds yield high healing properties and aid in cleansing the digestive organs. We use a list of these ingredients and others that are best for the body's cleansing process.

Most people experience weight loss, better skin, better digestion, and better energy.

We suggest you take a sample menu and consult with your physician on this matter.

This is a plant-based, whole foods diet but if you have a doubt or wonder if you are right for this program, we recommend you ask us for a sample menu and consult with your physician.

If you're looking to get started on a healthy program, struggle with low energy, dull skin, or stomach bloating and are considering a wellness program, you would be a good candidate for the Joulebody Cleanse. If you question whether you are a good candidate for this program, we recommend you speak with your physician about your interests in trying our program.

A wise doctor indeed, especially as our cleanse is customized to take your medical issues into consideration. Plus, Joulebody Cleanse is not a fad diet. You may love the results so much that you'll find yourself wanting a healthier way of life.

We have chosen beans with the least amount of fiber, the most amount of protein, and are easily digestible (such as Mung bean, a kind of sprout) to help minimize any discomfort caused by gas.

You will experience a greater frequency of urination. Although it is uncommon, you may also experience an increase in your bowel movements. As most of our clients are women in their 30's and 40's (an age during which women may suffer from conditions such as IBS, or hormonal changes), we have been extremely cautious about keeping the fiber intake at a reasonable level. Many of our meals do not exceed 4 grams of fiber, are high in plant-based protein, and offer energizing vitamins and minerals.
