10 day juice fast

What toxins?

Every time someone asks this they talk about toxins. Yet no one has ever been able to answer the above question.

If your body is not cleaning any "toxins" out, then you have more issues then any cleanse could help you with. You would need immediate medical help to stay alive.

I found a juicer for 10 bucks at a yard sale it was brand new and I couldn't pass it up. I watche fat sick and nearly dead and was ispired to juice. I bought the supplies juiced for 10 day. I had the headaches that they talk about on day one and two and day three I felt better. After 10 days I didn't really feel "cleansed" I felt about the same but I was about 10lbs lighter. As soon as I went back to eating solid foods I gained 6 of those lbs back. Some of the juices are hard to get down if you know what I mean but I found that I keep the juicer around to make carrot orange ginger juice and some apple carrot juice as well. I use the juice to supplement my food as I do beleive fresh juice has some great benefits but for me it is a way to get more calories in veggie form.

If so what are your thoughts/ pros cons.

Drinking juice doesn't remove any toxins. Juice fasts aren't needed and are popularized by "natural" and "clean" proponents who believe that eating processed foods poison you.

Food is food... and, juicing just takes out the fiber -- and fiber is really good for your health, for feeling fuller and better for your digestive system.

After a quick look at your diary, the few days I saw you blogged, you were under 1200 calories. I'm not a doctor, and don't pretend to be one, but in my opinion, you may be getting headaches because you're not eating enough. Make an appointment with your doctor and talk to him/her about the minimum amount of calories you should be consuming.

Good luck! ????

My son and his girlfriend did this a couple years ago. They bought a book on it and followed the regiment. They both had the severe headaches after a couple days, but after the third day neither had a headache. The girlfriend started getting weak after the 5th day and on the 6th day couldn't lift her head off the pillow and was vomiting. We talked her into stopping. After eating normal, she was fine the following day. My son made it through the 10 days against everyone's wishes, but once he starts something, he won't give up. He lost about 10 pounds, but said he didn't feel any better, just tired. While they were on this diet, my house smelled like the underside of a lawn mower after freshly cutting the grass from all the kale!

HI Lauren, I know everyone is saying you don't need it. I would definately ask your PCP. Now from my own experience.. I did a 10 day juice also after watching fat sick nearly dead. After 3 days of breaking my caffeine addiction, i was in utopia. I felt awesome.. I lost 10lbs, and gained it all back after I started eating again. Nothing really happend. so IDK.

My husband also juiced with me. lost 15lbs, and hasn't gained anything back. He used to be a smoker, and when he started juicing he started coughing a lot of 'black stuff' which we looked it up, and research indicated he was releasing build up in his lungs from smoking. He hadn't smoked in years prior to the juice fast.

Third, my coworker suffered from migraines almost weekly. I told her to watch the movie, research online, talk to her doctor, etc. AFter my experience she tried the fast as well, but eating a sensible dinner at home. by choice she did this for 30 days. obviously lost weight, but she was headache migraine free. She said no other pill has ever worked quite like juicing did. She continues to juice her breakfast, and sometimes at lunch also. Just a little background on my coworker. Her mom died real young from something brain releated.. i can't remember. So she has a doctor she sees on the regular. Her mom suffered from migraines also, so she is real careful. She doesn't work with me anymore but we stay in touch. she said when she falls off the juice wagon, she starts to feel sluggish and will start up again. It worked for her... thats all
