Juicing Forum

I'm amazed that till date concepts like the raw food diet, juice fasting, lemonade master cleanse diet are facing criticism. Perhaps giant industry players making money on selling expensive drugs don't even want to know that there is an easy and inexpensive way of achieving health rejuvenation called juice fasting. The most common question I face is "Do you have any evidences that show juice fasting works for weight loss or detoxification?".

With that in mind, I would like to ask are there any evidences showing juice fasting benefits? I'm also trying to pick the recent updates and study results showing juice fasting benefits. Do you have something to share?

CalorieCut - i can testify to the weight loss. I lost 7.5 lbs in 10 days. That's about what I lost per month through April and May eating well and exercising an hour a day. I was not hungry through the fast. If anything, I felt too full after the juice at times! JOJ recommends 4-6 juices a day. I had 4-5 a day. Most often 4.5 (4 2cup servings and 1 1cup serving)

Hi JoJ

Real examples are always inspiring.

Hi Claire,

I'm so happy to hear your progress.

However, By evidences I meant medical or clinical evidences. No worries, I'm on a hunt for finding some data showing effectiveness of juice fasting. I won't mind sharing both perspectives here as I believe this is the best place to clear all the doubts and confusions about juice fasting.
