    The main part of juicing to detox is more than just weight loss, it literally resets your appetite, taste, cravings, mood, energy, mindset. It's amazing to give your body a rest from digesting meats and other toxic chemicals. There is no sensible reason people should be on here telling you not to drink veggies and fruit, it's absurd how brainwashed the food industry has us all.

    When did meat become a toxic chemical?
    What other toxic chemicals are you referring to? And how to drinking veggies in juice help this process? Juicing takes away a lot of the fiber than is helpful for the best "detox" I know-pooping.

    I pooped more on my juice fast than I ever did eating meat, which stays inside your system much longer. Toxins?! Research what they really do to the meat we eat. What drinking fruits and veggies does is provide our cells with adequate nutrition, quality over quantity, while at the same time giving our system a break. Ever did a colon cleanse?... you'll see our liver does a great job...but there is still at least 5lb of bullcrap in your body due to the toxic foods we eat.

    LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    I dont want to know what foods you're eating

    That does explain the flaws in your posts. I wish he would drop the mic so fewer people would hear his misinformation.

    This is a TERRIBLE site filled with miserable people. I never knew I signed up for this. I just want to juice and go vegan. You self pronounced experts are ridiculous

    Forum life isnt for everyone. Some thick skin is required from time to time. There are so many knowledgeable and educated people on this site, its actually a great benefit if you can look beyond the fact that people disagree with you. If you have misinformation then yes, someone needs to call it out, not just for your sake but for the sake of others as well. The GIFs are a plus. You've got to have a since of humor about it all.

    ETA: Grammatical Clarity

    Yes, if I was on here saying I'm going on a cabbage soup diet, or the special k diet, or getting some crazy surgery...I'm literally saying I'm consuming only fruits and vegetables to clean my body out. That shouldn't even be up for debate.

    And we are literally telling you that it doesn't do what you think it does. Srsly how many different ways do you need to be told that 'detoxing' and 'cleansing' when it comes to human diet are a myth.

    If you want to be vegan stop eating (and using in any way) animal products. Simple. Done. There is absolutely zero need for you to 'detox' first.

    Seriously, though, I don't see how you could possibly get the protein and fat that your body requires from this. You do know that your body needs those things, right?

    What YOU want to do isnt debatable. Why you THINK you need to, is.
    They are just saying that you dont have to clean your body out before making lifestyle changes. Its just not necessary. And the reasons you provided as to why were met with rebuttal. Its a discussion. You are just singled out on the losing end, it happens. You are set in your ways and believe what you want, cool. Just understand that not everyone agrees.

    And you are missing all of the fiber of your fruits and veggies when you juice them. Fiber aides elimination which is what you want, right? Thats all a "cleanse" is. Your organs do all the detox for you. By all means live the life you want, be the most bada$$ juicing vegan you can be, just dont go around claiming certain things as fact.

    Sorry, didn't do anything to strengthen your case there. MercoLOLa is a crackpot whose "science" has been debunked over and over again by evidence-based researchers. BecomingBane already posted some links above, so I won't bother reposting them. Mercola is about as reliable a source as Dr. Oz.

    I asked that question upthread, seems it was conveniently ignored.
