Has anyone ever done a juice fast to jumpstart weight loss??? I'm considering trying it and would like advice from others who have done it if possible.

I had a friend that did a juice fast. Not for weight purposes but she thought that it would be healthy. Check out drweil.com. He may have more info on that subject. Kerry

Well, I'm going to try a juice fast starting tomorrow.....if all goes as planned. I am doing a fitness program that recommends it as a jumpstart to the program. If I feel it's not going well, I'll stop.

Mindy,

I'm guessing the liquids don't include wine? Crying or Very sad Let us know how you do. I'm been dieting for a long time now and I think I need to do something different for a change.

Carla,
the fasting is supposed to help you to lose 4-6 lbs in 2 days and it also detoxes your body. I am working the Slim in 6 program by Debbie Siebers--you can go to www.beachbody.com and get more info. They have a 2 day fast that you can purchase, but I don't have time to order it and wait for it to arrive so I've gotten some advice from others to just do a juice fast which does the same thing. It is supposed to take away cravings for sweets also.......we'll see how it works and I'll keep all of you posted.
No, unfortunately it doesn't include wine...or coffee........I will go nuts without my coffee. If I get real hungry at least I can eat an apple or banana.

Any type of fasting Mindy good for people when happiness comes after. These woman fasts many times in traditional way, no food a only little water sometimes for three days but mostly two days and always alone so let good and peace flow in. Sometimes Doctor say "no Gentle, you too skinny now and not good for body" so then not do for awhile. But happiness comes to spirit of me when fast and this bring peace to me so this is just my way and it is good for me. Hope this happiness and peace for you Mindy and all who try to loss weight to help body be healthy.

Gentle Breeze--I've been doing a lot of research on fasting and I've found out that I will not only lose a few pounds and detox my body but I will also hopefully have a greater sense of well being too!! What a great added bonus.....thanks so much for your post!

I wonder if my doctor will ever say, "Carla, you're too skinny..." Probably not in this lifetime. Sigh.
