Summary: Juice Fasting for Dummies
Comment: The title sums it up. The real question is, does it actually work? According to many fasting doctors, like Joel Fuhrman, juice fasting doesnt work. Will you lose weight? Yes. Is it healthy? Sources say no.

There are two major changes that occur in a fast: ketosis and a relaxation of digestion. With a juice fast you will relax your digestive system, according to Dr. Bailey, and that relaxation in itself is all you need to start your body on the weight loss and healing. Dr. Bailey also claimed that in todays toxic world its simply too dangerous to go on a water fast because so many toxins will be released into our system for cleaning that the body wont be able to handle it and the subject will become very ill and lethargic.

Ketosis is when the body shifts from sugar fuel to ketone fuel. The body will do this about 2 or 3 days into the fast once it realizes no more carbs are coming. The liver starts producing ketones which are made by breaking down fat and bad cells (like tumors) and turning them into fuel for the brain and the rest of your body. However, on a juice fast, you never stop the influx of carbs so your body never goes into ketosis and so the greater amount of weightloss and healing does not occur.

I highly recommend water fasting over juice fasting thanks to my own experience (juice fast 27 days, water fast 17 days). I felt much better during the water fast and could have gone much longer except it was time for vacation and i love laksa!

Please pick up Joel Fuhrman's "Fasting and Eating for Health" if you are considering a fast.

I followed the fasting advice and found it easy yet highly effective. The author covers all aspects of fasting including physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. This is one of the best books on fasting on the market.
