    Juice fasts are either fruit/veggie juice drinks that you take in daily.

    It's really a form of detox, not a weight loss regimen. Yes, it works, but what else do you expect to happen when you don't eat anything and just drink juice for 3 - 5 days?

    I am not a big supporter of juice fasts because so many people do it the wrong way. I recommend possibly replacing a meal with a juice fast.

    The reason I am against 3 - 5 days of juice fasting is because I have tried it for two days and realized that although I am getting nutrients that I need, my bodily functions are not at 100%. For example, these people should NOT do a juice fast:

    Pregnant women, people who have recently had a surgery, athletes, nursing mothers, people with diabetes, liver problems, kidney problems, heart problems, those taking prescription medicine, etc.

    This is because although a juice fast is healthy, it does not supply the body with EVERYTHING. Side effects include hypoglycemia, nausea, headaches, tiredness, constipation, heart murmurs, etc.

    Talk to a doctor, do PLENTY of research, and talk to others who have attempted this fast before going on it.

    I agree with ISneezefunny for the most part. The less healthy your body is the harder it is to fast because your system is use to being filled with sugar, caffeine and junk food. People try juice fasts and give up because they end up feeling weaker and headachy because their body is getting rid of what it is use to being fed.
    It is best to do both the red and green
