Hi All. I'm new here. Nice to read all the threads and see so much enthusiasm and support. I hope to be a part of circulating that!

For now, I have a request for help! For any of you juice fasters out there who have completed a successful fast or are fasting right now: If you have a few moments to spare, I would love it if you would answer any of these questions. It would be a great help. Thank you!


How long did you fast for?

How much juice did you drink per day?

What kinds of juices did you drink?

How much did your juice fast cost?

Did you take any supplements?

Did you do any colon/bowel care (flushes, enemas, colonics, teas, other) ?

Did you experience any detox symptoms?

Did you lose weight? How about muscle?

How was your energy level?

What was the outcome of your fast?

What is your favorite juice fasting guide/book?


I have successfully completed the Master Cleanse a few times, but I just don't think I can handle the sugar content this time, and last time I never lost the cravings.

My body really wants a digestive break and nothing but pure nutrients. I'm planning to drink a lot of greens, as I can feel by body actually craving green juice! Maybe if finances require, I may incorporate some MC potion, but I would like to focus heavily on vegetable juices this time. I've never done a juice fast, and my body is calling out! "Juice! Juice, Please!" I'm actually even losing my appetite. I'm so ready.

I'm actually planning to begin on Monday. The Farmers Market near here is on Sunday, and I'm going for the first time to stalk up for my fast.

Thank you again for any and all feedback you can give.

Blessings today and every day.

How long did you fast for?

- I'm currently on Week 11 of 20 week juice/water fast

How much juice did you drink per day?

- I started out drinking about 4 litres and now I drink about 1-2 litres of fluid per day (that includes water and juice) but when I'm water fasting... I try to drink more.

What kinds of juices did you drink?

- I'm totally into fruit juices only. So pineapple/strawberry is nice. Watermelon with the rind - perhaps with a hint of lime. Apple/ginger/pear is also nice. I also buy young coconuts and drink the water from them.

How much did your juice fast cost?

- dunno

Did you take any supplements?

- Sometimes I take MSM but otherwise... nope. Oh and occassionally I add spirulina to my pineapple juice.

Did you do any colon/bowel care (flushes, enemas, colonics, teas, other) ?

- Nope

Did you experience any detox symptoms?

- Of course... isn't that the point of doing a fast???

Did you lose weight? How about muscle?

- Not any muscle at all... I do yoga and rebound and haven't found any muscle loss at all. Yup, released weight.

How was your energy level?

- Somedays GREAT other days none.

What was the outcome of your fast?

- Outcome???

What is your favorite juice fasting guide/book?
