    No sorry, but sounds interesting. I make some awesome homemade veggie/fruit smoothies but the natural sugar content is killing my sugar intake goals :(

    Juice can be part of a well balanced diet but there no good comes from consuming it on an exclusive basis. Eliminating protein, fat and fiber from your diet is not a healthy act.

    Until I am an invalid who is unable to feed myself, I am not interested in a liquid diet.

    And even then, I would hope your liquid diet would be more sensible than being comprised entirely of juice.

    I will write detailed instructions into my living will.

    I have recently started adding Trop 50 to a well-balanced, protein-rich diet. It's delicious and loaded with calcium and vitamin C.

    That's as far as it goes.

    I know someone that did it. The main reason people lose weight juicing is due to multiple things.

    1) They are only ingesting juice.
    2) Because they are only ingesting juice, not juice drinks, but home made juice extraction, they are at severe caloric deficits.
    3) Vitamins, awesome, but caloric deficit, see #2.

    I'm not interested in a juice diet, I personally don't believe in different types of diets. It really does come down to calories in, calories out. Just choose your foods wisely, as in, incorporate what fills you up that isn't super sugary. Extra calories mostly come in the form of sugar, see bread nutritional info if you don't believe me. Bread itself is not very filling and is loaded with calories.

    I've seen a documentary about a morbidly obese guy who lost 80 pounds quite quickly with the juice diet.

    that said, its a drastic, liquid based diet, and if you don't have good eating habits in place, once you succeed you may just gain it back.

    eating a healthy, consistant, balanced diet within your caloric goal would be far superoir.

    and in the words of dave chapelle "what the hell is juice!?! I want some grape drink!"

    Not a chance. Very unhealthy. You may lose weight quickly but you will gain it all back just as fast.

    Fad diets don't work. Eat healthy and work out - that works just fine.

    I'm not sure what the juice diet is, but I doubt I would last a day. I believe in eating good, healthy fresh food, and doing whatever I can be consistent with for the rest of my long and healthy life. I don't even drink juice - all the fibre goes in the bin. Just eat real food.

    I agree and any diet that isn't a lifestyle change is just another yo yo diet which isn't good for your metabolism. Some use it as a means to quick weight loss but in the end you put yourself at risk of gaining the weight back and more. There is a theory called the set point theory where your body goes into starvation mode and will hold on to the weight in order to survive so eventually after you drop the water weight your body will hold the weight and your weight loss efforts most likely will fail. For women who don't have enough healthy fat in their diets it will effect menstruation and for anyone it can cause intestinal problems.
