Hi...
I'm actually on my 5th day of my 10 day juice fast.
I'm doing it for health reason, to give my colon a rest and help my other organs a chance to repair themselves.
Its my first juice fast and its been ok so far, but today I woke up really hungry and with lots of mucous.
Today has been very different from the other days, but again everyone is different on how the fast will affect them.
I'm here to help with tips and support.0 -

What science supports that a juice fast does any of the things you claim?0 -
Drinking juice does not give your colon a rest. And it doesn't need a rest anyway. Should you stop breathing for a while so that your lungs can rest?
None of these controversies about juice fasting end well. It's not supported by science but the people who are determined to do it anyway generally rebuff any attempt to point out the facts.0 -

As long as your kidneys and liver are working properly there is no reason to be doing a cleanse.0 -

So tell me which of your organs are damaged and what medical professional told you that juice will fix it? I mean I'm guessing your still in hospital with the organ damage right?
Also OP read this link:

In case you don't:Hey MFPers.
With the rapid increase of new users there are many posts coming up asking for detox recommendations. I figured this would be a good time to provide some links explaining why you generally don't need to detox or cleanse.
Your body is readily equipped to handle toxins and in the event it cannot, you're in far greater need of medical attention than you are of any particular beverage or liquid diet.
For purposes of weight loss, you're essentially choosing to replace food with liquid calories (depending on the cleanse, but most fall under this category) resulting in what usually amounts to a VLCD. This isn't typically a good idea for a variety of reasons (mood, hunger signaling, skeletal muscle maintenance, performance) and moreover it represents yet another short-cut attempt rather than establishing proper habits.
The intent of my post isn't to insult anyone who comes here with the misinformed belief that they should detox/cleanse. The purpose is to provide information to hopefully save someone the wasted time, money, and potential ill health effects, not to mention the likely weight regain.
Please read the following links:

tl:dr - It is pseudoscience and a waste of money0 -

You would think that would give you a clue that this isn't such a great idea. Um, yuck?0 -
Hey! Yeah i am going to be very serious about this. I know its going to be hard and ive done a lot of research and watched movies on how the process usually goes. I am waiting for my juicer to come in the mail still. It is supposed to come on Monday so I want to start Tuesday. When are you planning on starting? Have you watched the movie "fat sick and nearly dead"? Good movie.0

I hope you still have the reciept and a return address.0 -
I love how people think they will talk you out of doing a juice fast by telling you how bad it is and how there is no evidence, cracks me up. I have tried juicing before and it's not for me. Good luck and try to post to let us know how it went!0

I love how people think that drinking nothing but juice will somehow repair your organs and 'cleanse toxinz' and how there is no evidence, cracks me up.0 -
It must be a great movie if you can find it on the Dr. Oz site.

I'm still waiting on scientific evidence that these juice fasts do any of the things people claim besides serve as a crash diet.0 -
Keep in mind, I am not saying there is evidence. I tried it once and it didn't go well at all so I am not a supporter, but I also don't reply negatively to a post looking for some friends to support them on a new venture. I am interested in her results, not backing her. She asked for support, not everyones opinions on the matter. It's a forum so post as you will, but I try to post where my word means something, not to bring someone down. If she wants to try, so be it.0

If you're going to "juice" then I'd encourage you to use the whole fruit and not just the juice from the fruit. Fruit contains fiber which offsets the effects of fructose (sugar). I'm guessing you're doing veggies and fruit as well, eh? Keep us updated. I'm curious to see how it goes.
Btw, where do you plan on getting your protein from?0 -
OP does not have to be an expert to do a juice cleanse. It's just personal choice.Drinking juice does not give your colon a rest. And it doesn't need a rest anyway. Should you stop breathing for a while so that your lungs can rest?

You are probably not an expert either, and yet you are mocking her choice.
Are you an expert at everything you do? Applying first aid to your child or yourself, or administering care when sick? No, you just do the best you can. And yet you may find yourself asking others for helpful input in what you already plan to do.0 -
Interesting. If I am not in agreement with a topic I simply avoid it...not troll the topic.
So some of you disagree with juicing. Fine...why be jerk about it? This thread is looking for
Comrades...not skeptics. Sheesh.0 -

People on this site are kinda rude LOL. Yeah like he said just looking for others that are interested, i know its not for a lot of people. I just am doing an experiment to see how it goes. People say juice fasting is horrible but so is eating most of the foods we eat on a daily basis, by no means am I malnourished our underweight so it wont hurt me. I have spoken with my doctor and all is good. Anyway.....0 -

I will keep you updated. Diet will be lacking protein for sure. It will just be for a short period of time.0 -

Someone posts a thread on a public forum trying to garner support in a pseudoscience fad, MFP themselves stickied the thread I linked to debunking any of the myths surrounding juice fasts... You have to expect people to reply its a public forum? If not then create a private MFP group not a public thread that way no new members are going to see the threads and think its endorsed by this community.0 -
Interesting. Why do you feel the need to police a public thread? Fair game, boo boo. If you don't like what you read feel free to click the ignore button instead of huffing and puffing indignantly on the interwebz.Interesting.

Wow, some people are so rude...and ignorant!....Well, I don't go on juice fasts, however I do add juicing into my diet about once or twice a week...I usually juice kale, lemon, chard, apples, cucumber, ginger root, and celery and I love it! There has been an amazing difference in my energy and I don't get headaches like I use to since doing it. I 100% believe juicing is extremely beneficial health wise!0

I like juicing. Drinking juices for a week is fine... you get calories, even if you don't agree with the macros or whatever.Interesting. If I am not in agreement with a topic I simply avoid it...not troll the topic.

Nobody said anything contrary until the unsupported and outright false claims came into play. It doesn't cleanse, give the colon a rest, or repair organs. If somebody wants to deliberately deprive themselves of macronutrients and fast (fast
: to eat no food for a period of time) that's on them ... expecting others to support what is by definition a refusal to eat is something that flirts with the rules against promoting controversial and low calorie diets.
You saw something you disagreed with and insinuated that some were jerks yet expect others to remain quiet when seeing something they disagree with. That is hypocritical behavior on your part.0
