Hi everyone, I have done the MC before but right now my job is too demanding I don't think I can manage. So I was thinking of juice fasting instead. I want to do it right but I cannot seem to find anything on it and myabe I am not looking in the right place/s. Can someone give me a link or something. Do I just juice any fruit and veg I like. I was thinking Oranges, pears, apples, carrots, celery, cabbage / kale / spring greens, ginger, grapefruit, lemons. Then having herbal teas, green tea, lemon and ginger, pu'er, peppermint, oolong, fennel tea.

I also have orange, mango and cinnamon, orange and coconut, blackberry and nettle, strawberry and raspberry teas - would it be wrong to drink these or any tea at all?

During the MC I use lax plus and laxative teas, can I use these during a juice fast or do I not need to? Can I use psyllium husks instead? And what about flushing? Do I need to?

I am hoping to lose weight from juicing but I also know that from doing the master cleanse I usually get very clear skin and feel positively different afterwards. I don't know what I will feel like or achieve after a juice fast. Can someone tell me the benefits - briefly as I know a lot of people experience different things.

In terms of weight loss, how much weight loss is normal for a juice fast, I know people are different, but I just want to get an idea. On the MC I lost 23 lbs in 18 days.

I may misunderstand but I wouldn't mix all of those together. Carrots& celery are good, add you spices when done. I've learned to juice the carrots last if you are using a juicer vs vitamix or something like that. It appears to me that the carrot pulp in the top of juicer absorbs juice from the other things. When I did carrots last, I would get about 20% more juice.
Just combine what you like. I do not like zuc juiced. It makes me feel horrible whenever I juice it. It could be what I combine with. Juice what ever you like together but do it simply. There's a juice forum on here I think with tons of recipes. I did lose more wt when I was juicing 2x day. Was just thinking of restarting it.

my answer is pretty much yes to everything you asked. yes you can do laxatives, yes you can use P.H. yes you can juice any fruit or vege you want.

try reading some of the longer juice fasting threads here... sooooooo much information. so much info.

here's a link to an interview (http://www.timelessspirit.com/JULY08/interview.shtml) we did on juice FEASTING. it may assist you as well.
