    Hi Newbe1.
    I suppose it all depends on what your eating habits were like before you go raw. If you are already vegan, you might be ok, but if your diet was filled with sugars, white flours, meat, etc., you may want to be raw for quite some time before you attempt to fast. I waited until I had been raw for a year, and my fast (I am on the last day of a week long one) went very smoothly. If you do fast, I think maybe a juice fast would be the way to go (you of course need a juicer), with lots of greens and lemons, some apples and oranges maybe too. The master cleanser diet seems very intense to me, as does the plain water fast. You may also want to do some reading on the subject as well.
    Best of luck!
    Tania
