Is anyone interested in being my 30 day juice fasting buddy?

Options
It would be a 30 day juice fast. The juices would include lots of leafy green veggies and some fruits. The goal is to cleanse (remove toxins), lose weight, get more energy and promote all over health. Thanks so much.

    I would love to! I juice regularly already but have really been wanting to do a fast to shed some stubborn pounds before summer. When do we start?

    Fad diets are not usually well received on MFP. Juice diets are generally considered a waste of time for the following reasons:

    -The majority of weight lost during a juice fast will be water weight that will return once solid food is re-added into the diet.

    -If you have normal liver and kidneys, these are perfectly capable of doing all the 'cleansing' your body requires.

    -30 days living on juice with little or no fats and protein does not seem a good plan for giving you 'more energy'.

    -Fad diets do not promote 'overall health'. They are a short term 'fix' which do nothing long term.

    :laugh:

    I'm really curious as to what toxins you'll be removing. If you could name one that'd be awesome.

    IN for the inevitable "you people are mean" thread the OP will create because everyone shot down her juice fasting idea.

    The only cleansing I like is a long warm anti contamination shower.
