Juice diet... any thoughts?

a lot of people will beat cancer with a juicing diet, there is a lot of information out there on it as well with just a little research! best bet is to see a holistic doctor and have them go over everything with you! one thing that is for sure, there are a lot of haters and people that want you to do the same thing they do! I say if he researches it and feels its right for him, good luck! But if it does work for him it may not work for others! it is a vegan diet with out chewing your food. And I will say this, anyone who says it dont work for cancer, along with fixing many other problems is full of **** up to there ears!

Wow, I love the MFP site with its tools and such, but most of the responses given in this thread are truly laughable. So much opinion thrown around with a very obvious lack of study behind them. Not enough protein from juicing?! LOL!

Please, do this community a good service by actually knowing what you're talking about before disparaging the efforts of others. People, in general, aren't stupid. There's a hell of a lot more behind people's decision to start juicing than a video documentary.

Look it up, don't make it up.

This post is not an invitation to debate the issue, especially since it's obvious that minds have been cemented in myth. Do your own DEEP research, stop making things up based on limited information. Juicers are not stupid people, you know. A lot of you should be ashamed, especially on a site such as this.

To the original poster, what do you actually KNOW about juicing to be discouraging your mate? What effort have you made to actually LEARN about the subject? Do you think your mate is stupid? What might he think of you, concerning all of this?

I think when a lot of people juice, they end up doing it wrong as part of a fad diet and have ill effects. Occasionally I have juicing weekends and I always order all of my produce ahead of time and I'm always amazed at how many pounds of vegetables I consume. Even if you have just one glass a day instead of fasting, it is a great way to work dark leafy greens you might otherwise not eat into your diet.

If your boyfriend is set on doing it, I would help him research different recipes because there are ways to balance out your macros. Also make a list of everything he needs before he starts and buy it ahead of time. The volume/cost might deter him anyway. And going from never have juiced before to a three week crash diet is stupid. Start by adding a daily juice in the morning and then get him to try it for a weekend. Balancing his consumption with exertion is key and it'll mean he is less likely to crash and burn.

I don't have to do any research to KNOW that it is a bad idea to live off of nothing but fruit and vegetable juice (even if you use one of those juicers that leaves the pulp/fiber) for any lengthy period of time. Any "research" you've read that says otherwise is research that goes against all common sense.
