Has anyone else tried fasting on fruit and vegetable juice?

Has anyone else tried fasting on fruit and vegetable juice? The other day, I got some advice here that said I should do that for a few days to shrink my stomach & remove toxins, etc. I'm trying to get rid of about 20 pounds I've gained this year from sitting in my computer chair too much.

So, has anybody else tried the whole juice & veggie fasting thing? If so, was it hard to stick to? It's only been five hours, so it's still early. I'm just wondering if I'm going to go nuts craving food though.

I have fasted for religious reasons and fasted on juice to lose weight. Fasting to lose weight I must say is not easy. You WILL get hungry! and drinking juice will curb the hunger and you end up working out by going to the toilet everytime you drink. My advice is dont bother with it. It's not healthy even for a few days. Best way to lose weight is by exercising even if only walking a few minutes a day, it can go a long way. Besides that fasting trick gives a really bad breath : {

hey there... my sister tried that diet and she got sick...u wil loose weight and then gain back the same weight.

Don't do that. Fasting is the unhealthy way to loose weight. If you want to be fit, eat healthy food. Not just veggies and stuff, meat and dairy. But not too much. Go to the gym, work out. Go on walks. Fasting will make you skinny, yes, but ugly and bedraggled looking. If you want to look good, excrsize. Also, guess what your doing right now? Sitting in your computer chair looking at the screen. GO! Never come back unless you HAVE to. Don't use this evil machine. Good luck. I hope it works.

I may be a little late, but I think you are basically talking about being a vegetarian. I can tell you that eating fresh fruits and organic veggies is the way. The best are berries for fruit and broccolli for your veggie. Ofcourse you can add others, but make sure these are top priority. They have the most nutrients. Drink lots of water with lemon. This will help detoxify your body. Water is your friend. Don't drink soda or sugary juices. Also stay away from all white carbs. Still with 100% whole wheat. You must not forget to excersise. Any type, just do some. Last, don't eat after 7:30. IThis has to be a lifestyle , not a diet

I think being able to eat every few hours is a relatively new thing for humans. Previously we ate when there was food and we survived a while when there wasn't. Our bodies have mechanisms to deal with temporary disruptions in our food supply. No doubt fasting is stressful to the body but healthy individuals will be able to make it through without problems.

I've fasted various times over the years. As I said in other advice the fast that worked best for me was Master Cleanser. I don't believe all the claims for this but for some reason it seems easier to stay on than other fasts. With this fast you drink a special lemonade that looks awful (looks like rusty brackish water) but tastes pretty good and the spice gives it a pleasent kick. I drink 1/2 gal/day when I'm on it so I mix up that much each time:

1/2 cup fresh squeezed organic lemon juice
1/2 cup grade 'B' Maple syrup
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or more if you like)
filtered or spring water to make 1/2 gal

The cayenne pepper is supposed to break up mucus; who knows if it actually does but it does give the lemonade an interesting edge to it.

You are supposed to stay on this at least 10 days though the longest I ever made it to was 7. I'm not going to do it any time soon because I'm working out and you need food for energy for exercise. Even after all the water weight you regain when you start eating I lost 1 lb/day on master cleanser. A few years ago this got popular as several celebrities used it to quickly drop a few pounds.

I'VE FASTED ON FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR TEN DAYS FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS. YES YOUR BREATH WILL START TO CARRY AN ODOR AFTER 24 HOURS, AND THEN SLOWLY START TO DWINDLE DOWN. AFTER THREE DAYS OF FASTING YOUR BREATH WILL START TO SMELL AS SWEET AS A NEWBORN BABY'S BREATH BECAUSE OF THE TOXINS WHICH HAS ELIMINATED FROM YOUR BODY. SO PHYSICALLY THE LONGER YOU FAST THE HEALTHIER YOU GET. SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING., LOOK AT MOSES. HE FASTED FOR 40 DAYS AND HE ACTUALLY WITNESSED THE FINGER OF GOD WRITING ON TABLETS OF STONE. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. OPEN YOUR HEART TO GOD AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART.

I just started yeaterday. Believe me, I eat a lot and am always hungry. I have always been slim but always had a bit of a tummy that has grown over the last year. Although I eat healthy I am always bloated. I have tried everything and have exercised like crazy. This fruit fast was the last desperate attempt to help with excess weight from stomach and hips. On day one I was suprised at how well I coped. On day two I put the same jeans on and they are falling off me. My skin looks radient and I feel good. I am not so hungry today. They say it comes with lots of side effects but I have just felt a little tired and slightly disorintated. I guess that depends on the level of toxins in the body. I don't know how long I'm going to do it for but its well worth a go. I have eaten a variety of fresh friut and combined fruits and veg to juice. Good luck SB
