Juicing

I did a juice fast for 8 days last year and it was great. I lost about 8lbs and gained two back when I started eating again, but was able to keep the rest of for a few months... Watch the movie "Sick, Fat and nearly dead". It will give you a good idea. However, a few months later I did another, shorter fast of about 5 days and lost again about 6 lbs and gained it all back within 10 days. We had family coming to town and couldn't transition out of the fast slowly. I think if you only juice one meal a day, you'd avoid the metabolism plunge, but make sure to mainly juice veggies, as fruit is too high in sugar, which is probably not the best before bed and also to keep the calories in check.
