You don’t need to juice a thing.
First of all, you don’t really need special juices or potions to ~cleanse~ yourself.
Seriously — even if you went HAM over the holidays. It’s really not necessary to do anything extra to remove toxins after eating and drinking more than usual. “Your body does enough of a cleanse by itself, using your organs,” Abby Langer, Toronto-based registered dietitian, tells BuzzFeed Life.

And you shouldn’t overcompensate by seriously cutting calories.
After a week of overeating, you might think there’s a logic in “making up for it” by basically surviving on leaves. But this will not help you manage weight or lead to meaningful weight loss, says Langer. First of all, even if you ate and drank a ton over vacation, you probably didn’t gain more than a pound or two. More important though, says Langer, “if you starve yourself, you’ll make yourself hungry in the end, and you’re going to just end up overeating.”

In fact, your best bet is to just get back to (or start) eating a healthy, balanced diet.
This basically means eating reasonable portions of a variety of foods, vegetables and fruit a couple times per day, lean protein at every meal, and minimally processed foods. With a healthy, balanced diet, “your body will naturally lose the weight that you gained; you don’t have to do anything fancy,” says Langer.
