What do you know about "juice fasting"?

As expected there is a 50/50 divide between people that think it's wonderful and people that say not to do it.

My reasoning is this:

going on the juice fast for 10 days does a couple things:
-helps detox your system faster than just changing your diet would. This seems helpful for someone like me that has 28 years worth of toxins from processed foods built up.
-quickly gets nutrients in your system that you've probably been deficient in (I know I have unless "bacon" is a vital nutrient".
-gives you a jump start in dropping SOME weight quickly, increasing your energy so that you can work harder toward your goals.
-All of the above seems like it would make someone feel better after the initial "OMG, I'm not going to eat for 10 days".
-How can it hurt to load my system with tons of natural nutrients?

Several responses I've seen:

"there's no way I can get enough protein during such a fast."
-Depending on your specific goals that may be true. My nutritionist put me on a 35g/day limit for protein until I shed more fat. I can get 35g with my eyes closed.

"She usually looses between 10-15 lbs but gains between 5-8 lbs back within a couple of days."
-I understand this is a common factor. However it does seem to be different for everyone. At the end of the week she's still lost a net 7 -10.

"if you intend to keep a healthy diet afterwards, then why not just start the healthy diet right away, and skip the whole juice business? "
-This is to be a kick start to replacing the junk in my body with nutrients. I feel that this would do that far faster and more efficiently than simply changing my diet.

"We don't all walk around with 10 pounds of fecal matter in our colons that just waits for a fast to finally leave"
-No. Not ALL of us do. Some of us do though. I did a cleansing years ago in which I lost 10+ and did not immediately gain them back. They had to have come from somewhere inside me.

I got interested in this after watching Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and started doing more research, but I am with withchaco... I can't really under why juice fasting would work any better than a healthy diet. I wanted to try it and have considered a couple of times trying it for 7-10 days, but haven't really given it a go yet. The other alternative (for me) is to just incorporate it in my daily diet. I have a hard time eating veggies on my own, so I thought juicing them might make it easier for me to stomach.

I understand all the theories behind it, but I have also come to understand that you have to be pretty careful about returning to solid foods after such a fast, especially if it is prolonged. I mean, there's really no harm in trying. If you notice adverse effects just switch up what you are doing to something else.

I agree. If it could improve my health and doesn't seem to have any real negative effects then why not?

Thank you Drunkwithwords. I appreciate that everyone has an opinion but I'm not looking to be told "it doesn't work" by people that have never tried it. In fact I specifically asked "Has anyone had experience with it?"

That being said, the only ones that have replied that they have tried it had very little in the way of negativity. I'm not here to be called a procrastinator. If that were the case I wouldn't be able to use my arm or even walk after having a stroke. I'm asking for feedback on EXPERIENCE. If you don't have something valuable to add then don't bother.
