Do juice fasts work?

What about substituting a juice or smoothie for breakfast or lunch? With a blend of fruits, veggies, and protein supplement could that be a good way to lose weight. http://www.nutritionfix.com/protein/shakes/nature-s-best-perfect-natural-vanilla-3lb.html

Not for long

yes but heres the difference-- Juicing raw fruits and veggies yourself and drinking 90 oz or more of fresh juice daily is enough calories to not be starving on. breakfast- 1 head kale, 1 bag carrots, 4 oranges, 4 apples, 1 head celery juiced and then add to blender with 2 cups frozen berries is about 500 calories and about 40 oz of liquid. Times that by 3 and you are super full all day. For lunch try more veggies maybe sweet potatoe, spinach pineapple, cucumber and celery and then take jucie and blend with a little ice. Dinner try making yourown v8 juice and doing tomatoes, celery, kale, garlic,maybe ginger,cucmber, celery try not to do too much fruit in evening. Do this 60 days in addition to drinking lots of water you will loose probably 30-60 pounds and heal self of any disease.

The fast for around 10 days is great to clean your body and it also makes you realized how much harm you are doing to yourself by eating junk food, drinking (diet) sodas, sweets, fast food, etc. That way, you stay in a healthy diet and won't gain the weight. off course, with any diet, if you start eating the bad food you will gain the weight back (you don't need to be a scientific to know that, it is obvious). I recommend watching the documentary "Fat sick and nearly dead" and check videos in u tube about McDonalds, sodas, artificial sweeteners, etc that are killing you.

There's actually a booklet called The Master Cleanse. You can pick it up at Barnes and Noble. It's difficult to stick to unless you have no one else to cook for. But I've known people, my brother-in-law and a friend who both lost 25 lbs but stayed on it for a month! Ease back into real food. Stay clean!

There is a very popular diet, the Maple Syrup Diet, and you mix fresh lemon juice, distilled water, cayenne pepper and PURE maple syrup. Drink it whenever you feel hungry. Spicy foods boost your metabolism, and if you don't mind spicy foods, it's kinda tasty! If you are truly overweight, you can loose up to 10 pounds a day, but make sure to measure your weight in the morning, because sleep helps you loose weight. If you eat healthy and excersise afterwards, you won't gain the weight back.

to help lose weight-probably. for long term weight loss probably not. unless you plan to be incompacitated and won't be engaging in any type of physical manual labor. its probably not a good idea to do this for more than a few days.
