(Montmorency) Tart Cherry Juice

[Terry24]

Is it okay to use Tart Cherry Juice in any of the FF plans? Can it be added to the smoothie shakedown?

Hi Terry,
Welcome to the Forum! Cranberry was chosen for it's detoxing benefits and very low sugar content. We've observed that the most successful Flushes are those that stay as close to protocol as possible.

Have you decided which plan are you going to follow? There is a great support thread in the challenge section, they'd love to have you jump on in!

Happy Halloweeeeennn.

I just finished the FF Plan Phase 1 and now I'm getting ready to start the Smoothie Shakedown. I was inquiring about the cherry juice because I heard it has great benefits, such as helping people sleep - something I desperately need. I used the Cranberry on phase 1 and will continue to use it, but I thought since we can eat cherries (on phase 1), why not drink the juice? Is it possible to have it during phase 2? Cherries are now out of season. Thank you.

Hi Terry,

Welcome to the Forum and congrats for finishing Phase 1! Just an FYI...after Phase 1, you should continue with Phase 2, not the Shakedown. Both are detox programs intended for 2 weeks only. Once your body is detoxed, it's time to add more food (Friendly Carbs) that Phase 2 supplies.

Your question about tart cherry juice is a great one. Although this juice has some amazing nutritional benefits, it does not become part of the FFP until Phase 3 as Dr. Ann Louise feels the unsweetened 100% cranberry juice suits Fat Flushers' needs better. That said, there are no Fat Flush police lurking around here to tell you absolutely not, so it's definitely your choice.

Hope you check in often so we can continue to answer your questions and offer our support!

Thank you. I will definitely take your advice and move on to phase 2 and wait until phase 3 to use the cherry juice. So far I lost 12 pounds. I forgot to do my measurements but I know I lost a lot of inches because clothes that I couldn't fit in 3 weeks ago are now fitting!!

WOW.....12 lbs, that's got to feel great! Mentally and physically. Nice Job!!

Thank you! It does feel great.
