Fact: Most of us don't set out to cleanse with any intention of staying on an ultra-strict regimen for the rest of our lives, and with good reason! This thinking can set you up for failure. Why? You adhere to your new plan for a week, drop a few pounds (or maybe gain some from all the sugary liquids!), and then dive headfirst into a pint of Ben & Jerry's. It's more empowering to make small, but impactful, changes to your diet than to abstain from solids and essentially eat baby food for a week. And sorry, a "3-day juice cleanse" or a "22-day vegan cleanse" will not make you look like Beyoncé.
