    If you eat healthy foods you don't need to diet. I'm sure the "juice diet" would help you lose weight, but eventually the weight would come right back because that isn't a sustainable diet that you can do for the rest of your life. Veggies, fruits, protein, complex carbs, water. (and the occasional cheat meal when you've earned it) ;) good luck!

    You have to fail at the juice plus diet first. If you've invested in the MLM side, you have to expend all of your finances and alienated your family and friends on a pipe dream too.
    Then go back to normal eating and gain a few pounds.

    Then realise eating a healthy variety of foods at a moderate deficit is the way to go.

    So yes. Massive side effects.

    Ive done a Juice Diet and i experienced the same problems. Right now your body is going through the "shock" stage, since it is so use to eating other foods. When it comes to ANY juice diet, you really need to ease into it. You cannot go from eating full meals one day then juice the next.
    The proper way to do a juice diet is to lower your calorie intake by eating :
    Day 1 =2000 calories
    Day 2=1800 calories
    Day 3=1600 calories
    Day 4=1400 Calories (stop here if you're a guy..Continue if you're a woman)
    Day 5=1200 calories (now woman can stop)
    Once this lower calorie week is completed then you begin the juice diet(: && you wont feel bad...

    Your organs do all the detoxing your body needs. Juice isn't going to do anything that your body can't already do on its own, except for maybe liquify your stool and make you incredibly uncomfortable. And also lighten your wallet a fair bit, as I see that this diet requires you to buy pricey pills and supplements.

    Eat the foods that you want, but at a calorie deficit. It gets easier over time and it becomes your new normal. You say you've tried every diet, but I think that may be the downfall here. It's not about the trendy diet or avoiding the 5 foods that cause belly fat or anything like that. It's about learning what you do and helping yourself make lifelong changes. Start small and gradually implement changes. The people that lose 100+lbs on deprivation diets and are successful are few and far between, and generally under physician supervision. Find the way of eating that works for you. It's likely not a juice diet, though.

    Please understand that I don't mean to be rude. But if juicing and quick-fix diets worked, no one would be overweight. Weight loss, most of the time, is a simple math problem. It just takes time and dedication.

    When you die from malnutrition and/or dehydration then the pain stops.

    ABANDON SHIP!!! And just eat at a moderate calorie deficit, accurately logging (that means weighing and measuring) all your intake. This will "create" weight loss. See ticker below.

    ETA: also see @Crepes_ above. She speaks truth.

    Problem identified. Don't go on a "diet." They almost never work the way they're advertised. Check out the following: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

    Juice + is not a "juice diet". It does not involve real fruit, at least not for the dieter; it is a food supplement made from processed fruits - a miracle pill, if you want to believe the spin.

    The website states that the journey from fruit to Juice+ high quality nutrition involves growing, harvesting, processing, dehydrating and quality control. Translated: the fruit is cooked down to a smelly pulp that is dehydrated and made into pills. It will loose a lot of nutrients in the process, for example all heat sensitive vitamins.

    As far as I am concerned I do all the processing of fruit that is biologically required. If they then want to dehydrate the processed fruit they're welcome to my poop. :devil:

    The only diet you need is the Calorie Deficeit diet.


    Eat what you like, when you, how you like, as long as you are eating 20% below your TDEE then you will lose weight. Mind you that there are exceptions but they are seldom and usually medically diagnosed.

    Good Luck OP!

    Look at me!!!! You DO NOT need to detox your body, it does it already all by itself. Seriously, you must be miserable. Please stop and just try to eat better with a calorie deficit. Good luck to you!!

    Have you tried the "Calorie Deficit Diet"? I have had great success with that diet. Also the "eat less than I did before, move more than I did before" diet has proven to be very successful long term.

    A total waste of time for people to come with questions to the forums. Newbies of course.

    I always recommend using the "Search" option for the following reasons:

    1- Your question most probably have been asked 1000 times before
    2- It will make you realize most people will answer with nothing to do with what you're trying to find out
    3- Most people will ask for medical/scientific proof in regards to what others say, yet they'll provide you with information they also found online like everyone else.
    4- You'll discover those who have answered in a positive or informative way, which you can then contact privately
    5- You'll avoid getting headaches by posting on the forums

    OMG - why would you do this?! Losing weight doesn't have to be torture. It gets better when you give up looking for a magic pill/drink/fairy dust and just eat at a deficit. Sorry you think you need to be miserable. :ohwell: Please reconsider before you do actual damage to your body.

    Each shake is about 250 ish calories. 2 of those plus a small evening meal and you will be WAY under your recommended calorie deficit for your size. Stay away from diets which treat all people as the same individual. You calorie/nutrition needs will be very different from joe bloggs down the road. Create your own diet to suit you and your needs.

    Eat normal food, stay at a reasonable calorie deficit and dont expect massive results overnight. It takes time but the time you spend on all these fad diets is getting you no where fast anyway.

    Why why why would you put yourself thru that... Just eat healthy work out your tdee and consistently cut 15% from that. These 'diets' just set you up for failure later.

    Sounds a lot more like your on such an extreme regime that your body is struggling.

    The toxins thing is just pure marketing.
