Occssionally I like to test my limits. Life has no limits so it's good to disprove the adage now and again. 
So I am thinking perhaps a juice fast during the summer. Lets face it this is about the best time of the year to do it.
1 did 3 days juice fast but gave up. I hasten to add only because of social pressure. I guess it will be easier if this was done in some sort of group.
My target is 7 days. Anyone ready to go along the ride say next month?

What kind of juice are you talking about?
And what is a juice-fast? Are you avoiding all juice? (probably wise) Or are you avoiding all foods except for juice (dumb)?

Not suprised. Lets face it it's not fun nor is it easy.
Well maybe fun for a select few. 0 -
by juice do you mean wine or beer?
in which case I'm IN.
otherwise. no.
because it would hurt my gainz.
as far as the its' not fun or it's not easy- and doing it anyway only makes sense if there is an end goal beyond "because it seems like something to do". training for a marathon or a power lifting comp isn't always fun- and it's certainly not easy. But the end goal is worth it- and has legitimate mark-able goals. Juicing- other than to give yourself the runs.. not so much.0 -

Well its simply organic fruit amd veg in a juicer. Obviously the higher the ratio of the veg to thw fruit the greater the fatloss.
Lota of stuff on it youtube/google.
I think 80% to 20% is optimum. When i fasted a i had a good deal of my veg and indeed protein was from organic powdered sprinulla and wheatgrass. My fruit source was mainly water melon but be warned its dierutic and you will be i the toilet every 15mins. Hehe ..
It was an amazing 3 day journey i am ready to push it to 7days maybe even 10 days.

Wine is fermented grape juice, so I'm in for this challenge. Can we start now? These people in my office are driving me insane.

It's stupid, unpleasant, unnecessary, maybe unhealthy and expensive. I can see the appeal. Good luck 0

Oh yes you awaken memories of my past. I did the only wine fast 2 days straight at the grape harvest festival in Argentina. I Followed my fast (for want of a better word) with 4 days protein only diet. Gorging myself with finest steaks ever known to man! It was an amazing experience. I felt my inner caveman had be rebirthed.
If you could do the just a 1 day wine fast you have my utmost respect.
Do it i say

This is the very reason why I want to do it. The unpleastness of it makes it pleasurable afterwards.
That said its no more stupid or unheathly than the what the average person on the street consumes.
As for it being expensive. Thats subjective don't you think. Then you whole post is subjective.

Why will i be dehydrated when the very essence and core of my regieme invovles drink no less than 8 litres of Juice. Sure watermlon is dierutic but in your haste to post over looked the part where i said my fast will be based on a 80% veg and 20% fruit consumption.
So if I consumed 1 cup of watermelon juice against 5 cups of vegetable juice you think I will be dehydrated? I was going to laugh but I'd rather smile as my teeth just aren't that white to show the whole world.
Perhaps too much wine from the Mendoza grape festival?

If you want to do something unpleasant, drop a sledge hammer onto your right foot.0 -

I had to go on a juice fast in order to get a colonoscopy. If I had to say which was better, it would be the colonoscopy.0
