Once you've placed your order, you'll receive a guide in your confirmation email with all this information explained in detail.

This is totally up to you, and will depend on your current level of health and your goals. Just remember that our programs are no quick fix and a transition to a healthy lifestyle takes time!

What if I’m hungry?

If you really feel like you're starving, don’t hesitate to make yourself a giant bowl of salad, as long as it's healthy. It's often the case, however, that you are not really hungry, rather it is the feeling of an empty stomach or the ritual of eating that makes you think that you are hungry. You are not hungry, you simply have an appetite. Drink some more water, the chances are it will pass. Brushing your teeth helps to make you feel like you have just finished a meal. Also, make sure to spread the juices out over the day and take your [...]

What can I drink during fasting?

10-11-23|, |

Water, water and more water. You should be aiming to drink 2 litres of water and/or herbal teas a day. It is important to keep well hydrated as thirst can often be mistaken by the body as hunger. Choose still water over sparkling water, and avoid coffee, alcohol and soft drinks at all costs. These drinks would defeat the whole purpose of fasting and we hope that you have the strength to resist for the duration of your fast.

Can I still work out?

Yes! While you might be tired and exhausted on the first day, energy levels usually sky rocket after and you will feel ready to move your body. Since the body needs less energy for digestion, you’ll have extra energy for other activities, including exercise. Physical activity is ideal, we suggest light runs, power walks and yoga or pilates.

How much weight can I loose with the program?

The scale might show less, but this is mainly due to the fact that you will retain less water and have an empty stomach. The most important thing about this process is that you change your habits instead of worrying about your weight. Fasting can help you find a balance and eliminate previous bad habits. This will make it easier for you to eat healthy afterwards.

This is a personal decision. Many people do a juice fasting with the changing of the season or when they feel that they have less energy. With today’s stressful lifestyle, you may opt to fast more regularly. Regardless of whether you fast for 5 days once every 3 months or for 1 day once every two weeks, your body will thank you.

What does ‘cold-pressed’ mean?

10-11-23|, |

We recently switched from our beloved cold-press Norwalk machine to a X1 Cold Press Juicer from Pomeroy Equipment (Good Nature) to accommodate for the increased amount of orders that we have been getting. Thanks for the Fit 'n' Tasty love! But what is cold pressing? It is a method of juicing where the juice is extracted by pressing instead of grinding. When blended or grinded with a traditional centrifugal machine, heat is added and the products are exposed to air, causing the fruits and veggies to oxidize and degrade. With a cold press machine however, the products remain unheated, and keep [...]
