Juice fast anyone?
Replies

The problem with juicing is that it doesn't give you any life skills for use afterward. At the end of the fast, you'll still need to learn how to eat moderately in order to maintain your weight. You aren't solving the problem - just kicking it 201 days down the road.

This website is for people who want to be healthy. If you want a juice fast, please join a pro ana website !0

Crazy is as crazy does.
Even Joe Cross says a beginner should only do a 3 day juice fast.
From his own mouth also "my own reboot was supervised by (my doctor) and a team who monitored my blood work regularly"
Apparently Dr Wizard of Oz on his show today is calling juicing dangerous.....go figure.

This is painful for me but I have to say I agree with Dr Dip-**** Oz on this whole Juicing thing. I can see a meal, maybe even a couple days but I have a issue with 7+ days.0 -
Okay Molly Ringwald pipe down honey lol.
No my husband told me to eat at least some chicken breast or almond butter etc. I just want to do 100 days of pure juice.
Did I say everyday for the rest of my life. Nope .
I'm not a failure. I am determined and the negative remarks speak volumes.
I seriously NEVER thought people here to motivate others would be so ... Well you think of a word!
BRUTALLY HONEST ABOUT STOPPING SOMEONE FROM DAMAGING THEMSELVES AND SETTING BACK THEIR GOALS.0 -
OP, have you seen the documentary film "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead"? It's an inspiring true story of extended juice-only fasting. Almost made me want to try it.
Ignore all the negativity. MFP is full of toxic people.
I wish you the best of luck!
Medically, what he did was ill advised. He did have a doctor checking him on a fairly regular basis, which OP has not indicated she will be doing.
As others have said, this is not a pro-ana website. EATING is essential for survival. Posts like these actually are against the TOS.0 -
Okay seriously. You people who act like 100 days will devastate me so bad I'll end up dead lol.
I have learned what gmo does! Gmo is awful stuff and has made me sick.
No I am not going to a doctor whom I have been to many and telling me what I already know plus even wanting to give me prescriptions for things juicing can heal.
And for those mentioning Ana .. Pls so get a grip and take one of those doctor advised pills.
What do you all think was eaten in the " old days " when weight problems were MUCH lower if hardly any! I'm talking when they cured there own ham they raised.. And smoked it in a private smoke house and didn't pump steroid in it!
The pills and gmo that so many are swallowing down have side effects.
This detox is amazing.
I'm surely not advertising bad measure for health. That is your opinion. For me I feel great.
I will prove you guys wrong.
Yes my skin will sag but that's okay.
My gosh some of you people should be banned from this site!0 -

^ This.
You can actually lose weight by reducing portion sizes, tracking calories, working out (weight/resistance training and some cardio 3-5 times a week for even 30 minutes will help, I usually do an hour). You don't have to abstain from food you love or adhere to a strict diet of such and so to lose weight... that's what everyone seems to think. I was happy to find successful women on here who have completely changed their bodies and are still able to eat pizza and drink a beer every once in a while.
Isn't that a liberating thought? You can lose weight without torturing yourself .... Hooray!0 -

OP, I think it's really great that you are so determined, even in the face of so much opposition. But don't you think it'd be better to channel that awesome resolve into a healthier approach? eat at a reasonable calorie deficit, make smarter food choices, and exercise a little, instead of depriving your body of MUCH need fats and proteins for 100 days? Good Lord, that's over three months! Three months of slowly chipping away at your lean muscle stores (which are SO hard to build back up) losing bone mass, low energy, nutrient deprivation and overall feeling like crap? (You say you feel fine on day 4-5, but trust me, you won't by day 8 or 9)
Also, the SECOND you start eating real food again, your body is going to cling to those calories like crazy, and you'll gain all that weight back, so your fast will have been for nothing.
Even your fitness trainer huband is urging you to at least eat SOMETHING while juicing, at least take a hint from him! What you're doing is unnecessarily extreme, and potentially dangerous. Please don't be so close-minded. Be open to suggestion and listen to the people who are advising against this. They really know what they are talking about.

Ah well. Even if this is real, it's self-correcting. I just wish OP didn't have to go through what she's going to go through.0

They also worked their *kitten* off doing this farm work to feed and house and water the animals every day before they butchered them, or hunting and fishing their food, etc etc.0 -
Juicing has no connection to GMOs.
If you put GMO fruit in a blender, boom, you got you some GMO juice.
Even 100% organic foods can contain genetically modified ingredients.0 -

You're a suspected troll because juice fasting is a known hot topic on MFP, and you are taking it to a ludicrous extreme. That should tell you something about your plan, if it's real.0 -
Op, why are you doing 100 days, an off day and then 100 more? Personally, the longest I've ever seen recommended for a juice "cleanse" is a month. It sounds to me like someone said how much weight you *could* lose fasting for 10 days and you thought to yourself "if I do it for 200 days, I can lose all the weight I need to!" There are a few problems with that, though.
1-your body will be getting mostly sugar in this 200 day period. Some vitamins, sure. But mostly sugar.
2-your body NEEDS protien to feed your muscles
3-your body needs fiber. Juicing basically removes the fiber so you negate a lot of the benefits of all the fruits and veggies. One of the delightful side effects of not eating enough fiber is a gem of a problem called diverticulitis. Look it up.
4-you need fat. Apart from avocado, fruits and veggies aren't a very good source of fat.
Why are you juicing? Is it to lose as much weight as physically possible? That isn't really the best or safest way to go. For one thing, your body can only metabolize so much of your fat stores in a day. You absolutely WILL burn lean muscle mass. There is no way around that on this plan. Also, and I speak from experience here, rapid weight loss can lead to the development of gall stones. This can cause fun bouts of hours and hours of excruciating pain and vomiting.
No one here is trying to be mean. Many people here have successfully lost a ton of weight and are just trying to discourage you from making such a drastic mistake with your health.
it's too bad that people are giving you scientific reasons to abandon this plan and you're stubbornly refusing to see reason.0 -

Just curious...Are there any websites you can reference that show how this fast is healthy? I feel like the others have given plenty of support to back up their claims that you will be hurting yourself, but all we have is your word.
Even Fat Sick and Nearly Dead wasn't 200 days (or 2 sets of 100) and most juice fasts I hear of are only a few days to a week long. Where exactly is your info from?0 -
Sorry keep anything " liberal" away lol!

Also they ate to EXIST not for PLEASURE as we so often do these days. Certainly they weren't "juicing"back then if they could afford not to!!!0 -

Go back on 4chan. /b/ is better suited for you.0 -
There is a youtube video of cats that are ninjas as well....my cat has been in training for 3 weeks, and nothing. Still just a cat.0 -
Good luck on your juice diet! I've watched that 'fat, sick and nearly dead' and I'm really tempted to try it! You can't go wrong with just fresh vegetables and fruits really can you?
It definitely gives you lots of energy doesn't it!!0
