Is this product a cleanse?
No, this product is not intended to be a cleanse. It is designed to break old eating habits and introduce new healthy habits that promote weight loss and an overall lifestyle change, while simultaneously teaching you how to increase your protein intake in a healthier way (ie - without protein powders or chemical-laden protein drinks).
For best results, follow the nutritionist-developed clean-eating diet plan along with drinking the delicious green juices, pre-workout juices, and protein shots.
Can I cleanse before I use this product?
Yes, for even better weight loss results we recommend cleansing with any of our 3 cleanses before The Protein Method™. This will allow the body to fully reset, detox, and clear your tastebuds. However, using this product without a cleanse will still provide you with exceptional health and weight management benefits if followed closely on its own.
Can I eat on this program?
Yes, you can and should eat. Use our nutritionist-recommended meal plan and tips for healthier cooking for the best results. The Protein Method™ is intended to be sustainable for the long-term by using our products in conjunction with a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
The Protein Method™ is a program that is designed to work with your current lifestyle. For this reason, we also provide a full guide of how to enjoy healthy eating at different types of restaurants while on this program and how to make healthy swaps in your kitchen.
Your health goals can be reached from wherever you are: at home, at work, or even while enjoying dinner out with friends.
Can I incorporate my own protein powders and protein shakes with this program?
The unfortunate reality is that workout supplements and powders often resemble science experiments more than food. Most types of protein powders and dietary protein supplements on the market are filled with chemical ingredients or use dairy-based compounds (whey protein powder, casein protein, etc.) to achieve a certain amount of protein. Even vegan protein powders and meal replacement shakes use pea protein and soy isolates, neither of which taste good OR are good for you. To mask the unnatural ingredients, these companies often use added sugars or artificial sweeteners to make the flavor acceptable. The “cleaner” plant-based protein companies use sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit which taste terrible and can have unhealthy side effects.
Trying to get extra protein content to build muscle from non-whole food sources is not something we typically endorse. A high-protein diet with excess protein in these particular forms can put undue stress on the body’s detoxifying organs like the liver and kidneys.
To encourage healthy muscle growth, we recommend getting complete protein from a variety of plants and then adding in organic, pasture-raised eggs, poultry, meat, and wild-caught fish as additional sources of protein, as desired.
While the American standard currently promotes the opposite, the goal should not be to hit a certain number of “grams of protein” each day, but rather to intake high quality protein that your body can actually utilize well.
What are the Nutritionist’s Clean Eating Guidelines?
As part of this weight loss journey, you’ll receive a full lifestyle guide with over 40 macro-calculated recipes and tips—just like you'd get from an in-person consultation with our nutritionist.
You’ll likely need to unlearn a lot of the incorrect advice you’ve followed from previous low-carb or keto diet programs about fruit sugar and carbohydrates causing weight gain. Once you can overcome belief in the dieting myths you’ve heard for years, you’ll unlock weight loss, fitness, and health benefits like you’ve never had before.
Here are a few core principles:
- Don’t cook in oils or fats. Instead, roast on parchment, steam, or air-fry.
- Enjoy carbohydrates. Multiple servings of fruits, potatoes, and whole grains (brown rice, oats, quinoa) are encouraged daily for energy, metabolism, and full satiety.
- Avoid processed "healthy" foods like bars and cereals with fillers.
- Limit dairy to organic butter or organic, pastured eggs (and skip dairy at breakfast).
- Choose high-quality animal protein: Organic and free-range chicken, grass-fed and finished beef, and wild-caught fish.
- Focus on balance: A proper plate = 50% veggies, 25% carbs, 25% lean protein or plant-based equivalent.
Is it bad to freeze juice?
No. At Raw Generation, we immediately flash-freeze all our cold-pressed juices and smoothies. This is the only way to lock in flavor, freshness, enzymes, and nutrients while being able to deliver them to your door.
Shipping frozen fresh juices makes it super convenient for you. There’s no hefty prep time or messy clean-up. No juicer or blender is necessary. All you have to do is thaw, sip, and reap the health benefits.
What is the Standard American Diet? Why is it unhealthy & how should I avoid it?
WHAT IS IT? The Standard American Diet (SAD) is filled with ultra-processed foods. If you go into any grocery store- even the ones that say they offer healthier options- the aisles are filled with foods that contain artificial ingredients, sweeteners, chemicals, dyes, flavorings, and preservatives. The foods with health claims are oftentimes the biggest offenders.
WHY IS IT UNHEALTHY? Ultra-processed foods are hard on the digestive system, causing inflammation, constipation, weight gain, and dangerous belly fat. They destroy your immune system. More seriously, these “foods” can cause disease or worsen conditions like autoimmune disorders, heart disease, and cancer.
Our bodies are not designed to eat man-made chemicals, flavors, or additives.
HOW DO I AVOID THE SAD DIET? Avoid processed carbs, processed sugar, refined seed oils, preservatives, conventional dairy, and alcohol as much as possible.
While grass-fed and organic dairy can be incorporated into a healthy diet, it is weight-promoting and inflammatory for many people. This is why we recommend avoiding it most of the time.
Try to pack each meal with as many whole fruits and/or vegetables as you can - the more fresh and raw, the better! Incorporate cold-pressed green juices and plant-based smoothies daily for concentrated nutrition.
Despite what many healthcare professionals say, never limit servings of healthy carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables (including potatoes).
