    How would it detox you? Why do non drug addicts need to be detoxed?

    As with any fad or unsustainable diet I wouldn't generally recommend it. You could however implement juicing into a normal diet like having a juice for breakfast

    But to answer the question, a short juice fast isn't going to hurt you, it's just pointless and not nutritionally sound.

    How would you get the protein and fat that are vital to your body?

    Your kidney and liver detox your body for you. If they are not working, you need a hospital not a "juice fast".
