Frequently Asked Questions
Why cleanse
Cleansing will rid of daily toxins from foods with preservatives, processed foods and the daily toxic environment we are exposed to. A cleanse will allow your body to take a break from digesting foods. This will infuse your body with natural enzymes and nutrients at a faster rate in order to rid of impurities and undigested toxic weight! Sometimes the body can hold onto 15-20lbs of undigested toxins!
When to cleanse
We traditionally recommend cleansing every season, a few times a month or after holidays . If you are stressed, travel, and catch too many colds lately or simply just to kick-start a healthier eating and motivate a workout routine, you will know what works best for you. We also recommend that you cleanse if you are about to do a spa treatment, this will be a relaxing time for the body and mind and will enhance the removal of toxins.
PH testing kit and guide
What is this for?
The PH testing kit will clearly demonstrate if your body is in balance and the results after an OTG3 cleanse. When you receive your OTG3 cleanse, we will include a guide on how to test with your PH strips.

OTG3 quality
Is it organic?
We do our best to use organic produce whenever possible but because it can at times be difficult to secure 100% organic produce, especially in the quantities that we require and that it is not always available in organic. We cannot guarantee that your cleanse will all be organic.
How are your juices prepared?
We use a state of the art hydraulic press to extract every last nutrient. The major benefit of this technique is that it preserves all of the powerful vitamins, trace minerals and enzymes contained in the fruits and veggies. Hydraulic pressing delivers three to five times more vitamins and minerals than any other juicing technique. It also produces juice so fine and pulp-free, within 10 to 15 minutes infuse your body with Best of all, hydraulic pressing ensures that our live juices stay potent and fresh for at least three-four days when kept chilled.
Health concerns
Can I smoke, drink coffee and alcohol?
No, we recommend that you avoid smoking and that you do not drink alcohol and coffee because they will dehydrate you and affect the main objective of removing impurities and absorbing all of the jam packed nutrients to do the job! If you must drink coffee than only opt for black organic.
Can I do this if I am Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
We don't recommend only cleansing with our juices as your daily diet, only as a supplement to your current diet. You actually need to add a LOT more calories than you normally consume while breastfeeding. The body is looking for all the calories it can find for healthy growth of your child.
Can I cleanse while on medication?
You should be able to but please check with your doctor first
Can I do OTG3 cleanse if I have diabetes?
There are many types of diabetes. Usually, regardless of the type, the answer to this is no because of the amount of sugar in the fruit juice, but always check with your doctor first.

Yes there are no animal by products in our juices
Can I put my child on OTG3 cleanse?
Yes and No. Children should not do any type of juice cleanse or fast while they are still growing. That said, OTG3 is an amazing addition to any diet. Replace the drinking boxes with an OTG3 juice!

There are MANY sources of protein other than that which comes from animals. With OTG3 you'll receive protein from our green juice as well as our Cashew Nut Milk high in protein.

Yes – we do cater to cashew allergies. You can replace with our pineapple coconut instead or our spicy lemonade.
Are there any side effects to cleansing?
During a cleanse, the body is essentially removing the bad stuff" and rebuilding and recreating new healthier cells.

(Varies on the individual)
Can I do OTG3 cleanse and eat food too?

Athletic cleansers!
Can I workout and cleanse?
Yes! It's a great way to also aid in the process and sweat out toxins! Yoga and Pilates or cardio and less intense weight training are recommended. Listen to your body and don't push yourself. Cleansing can also be a time to rest your body especially if you are a workout fanatic! Take a break for once, it won't hurt!
Should I cleanse before sporting events or right after?
OTG3 does not recommend you cleanse even with our Redefine performance cleanse right before and right after a sporting event, it may offer a higher caloric intake but it does not provide you with enough stored glycogen (solid food carbohydrate) at a steady rate before and after these type of events to fuel with enough calories or recover with enough calories. We may recommend you supplement your with your diet before and after as an option.
Can I still take my sport supplements?
We recommend you do not take any sports nutritional supplements at this time, this will affect your body's ability to absorb enzymes and nutrients that may cleanse old waste matter from supplementing. This is a good opportunity to begin taking natural supplements after your cleanse.
Weight loss
How much weight will I lose?
Weight loss varies depending on the individual and the OTG3 cleanse program chosen, a cleanse is designed to allow your digestive system a break and therefore eliminate undigested toxins and remove impurities. This will regulate digestion and metabolism; as a result, this will begin to enhance fat burning enzymes and may help you shed fat weight. Our OTG 3 day system is a 7 day total plan and much more effective approach for cleansing, actual fat weight loss, healthier eating and toning your body for a healthy balanced weight loss and conditioning regime.
What if I don't want to lose weight?
Results may vary depending on the individual and if this is of concern we recommend our higher caloric Redefine performance cleanse for active individuals. Do remember that if you do lose weight, it is also an indicator of removing undigested toxic weight! This will help you regain your body's balance of a healthier digestive system, metabolism, energy immunity and overall health and wellness. Once you transition to healthier food, we recommend adding a few extra healthy snacks to regain the weight if this is of concern.
Will I gain all the weight back?
If weight control is your goal, this cleanse will help you to also reset your palette and prevent unhealthy cravings with the discipline and guidance to begin a healthier eating plan. We recommend you have a game plan after your cleanse of a healthier grocery list and meal plan ready for continual OTG3 success!
OTG 3 day system
Why is the OTG3 day system recommended?
A three-day Cleanse helps the body rid of undigested toxic weight removing impurities and will have a much more effective approach and includes a total cleanse, nutrition and fitness plan. The duration of your cleanse is based on personal preference and your current dietary lifestyle and dietary habits for example, if you eat healthy then a 3 day will not be such a shock to your system where as someone with unhealthier lifestyle and dietary habits may opt to try a 1 or 2 for a gradual transition and graduate from there. You reap more benefits the longer you cleanse.
Why does each cleanse have a specific nutrition and fitness plan?
Our mission is to cater to your specific needs and goals and that is why we have designed a cleanse system that will achieve this. We want to help you transition into healthier eating and a body changing experience whether to, lose weight, improve health, prevent plateaus, increase energy and enhance performance. This plan will total a 7 day program where you will cleanse for 3 days and transition into the meal plan and workout plan for 4 days, just remember to allow 48 hours of rest between workouts to allow the body recovery. Our meal plans suggest meal ideas and recipes but overall deliver a philosophy that is realistic to following in your everyday life without counting calories!
Do I follow the workout on the cleanse?
You can work out on the cleanse and it's a great way to sweat out more toxins but listen to your body and how you feel- don't push it especially if you are new to cleansing!
Why 4 day plan?
We ensure that our OTG3 day system is a total 7 day plan that includes 3 days of cleansing and a gradual easy on the system transition into our meal plans. We believe that if it takes 3 days to cleanse , it takes 1 day to break your cleanse and 3 days of progressive and easy to digest foods that gradually welcome healthier eating into your lifestyle for maintenance. Whether or not you want to follow this philosophy of eating is of personal preference and based on results - you will know what's best for your body!
I am not losing weight on the scale?
While a scale is a good base measure, it is also counterproductive to your overall health and fitness goals. If you are eating healthier and working out, your body will begin to increase lean tissue which weighs more than fat weight! This means you are toning and healthy within! Measuring body-fat and inches are a much more effective indicator while of course checking out your body every so often in the mirror and admiring your new body is allowed as long as you don't flex and get caught doing it!
What if I am a beginner?
We would recommend that you choose the Restore OTG3 day system and work your way up for your most amazing body yet! Progressive is key!
What if I already have a workout routine?
Great! Do remember it's always good to add new exercises and these tips may help you prevent plateaus. We would suggest following our method behind the workout even if you have other exercises in mind. Don't be scared! Try them, I promise you will thank us later!
