    You could have probably saved yourself a lot of grief if you just used the search function :flowerforyou: There's no need to juice or fast, eat the fruits and vegetables then you don't lose the fibre.

    Juice fasts are really not necessary, but if you do a juice fast, why not try a lesser amount of time? I am a fan of water fasting, and i have done juice fasts before, and from my experience, i really think that 30 days is a bit much.

    What toxins are you hoping are removed from your body that your liver and kidney's don't take care of already?

    If you can't answer that, you shouldn't do a 'detox' anything.

    A 30 day juice fast? Wow. I would not suggest this. How are you planning on meeting your other macro and micro nutrient needs? (i.e. Protein, fat, and fiber?)

    I did a juice fast once for 10 days. The first 4 or 5 days was miserable. After that it wasn't so miserable, but I was constantly thinking about food. I didn't lose much weight, and the weight I did lose I gained right back when I went back to regular food. Mentally/emotionally I think it was good for me. It made me realize I didn't need as much food as I thought. I obviously got in a lot of fruits and vegetables. Mostly fruits because I wasn't so crazy about juicing vegetables. It was also nice to get a break from cooking.

    I still take the occasional break from a meal, especially if I've been eating out in the last few days. i prefer smoothies to juices now. I consider it rehydrating. I will drink a TON of fruit/vegetable juice and water. I'm doing it tonight for my dinner. I've got a smoothie with about a cup of fresh mint, cup of watermelon, and one mandarin in a big pitcher of water. Maybe I'll have a bit of yogurt later. I also think its a good idea to give the stomach a break on occasion, but certainly not for any extended period of time longer than 1 meal in 4 or 5 days.

    I actually don't think fasting is a bad thing from a mental, emotional or spiritual point of view. I think going into it as a quick fix for weight loss is going about it the wrong way and will set you up for disappointment.

    No, just no. And I agree, use the search function on this topic.
