Juicing is not better - you will not be in ketosis fully when on juice so will lose limited lbs and fat in comparison to living of your fat reserves solely (which happens in a water fast)However alternative day water and juice is a good idea after the poundloss sloqs down on a water only fast

Your comments probs refer to ALB's theory of 10lb always comes back - he was kicked of the other forum for his insane ideas about alot of things, this being one. I am not attacking any posters, but some of the things I have read by him are so false and subjective that they cannot be taken as advice! His advice is based on his resent "40day" fast, my advice is based on my prolonged fast 10 years back, where i lost alot of weight, lost more during refeed and continued to do so and kept it off for 9 years, only gaining back some due to bordom recently...

The water and fat lost on a Water Fast is not to be regained, unless you have fasted to a point where you need to gain fat back, or fasted to dehydration. This means that if you refeed properly using raw foods, and actually only having the juice and Rawfood once or twice a day for a prolonged periond post fast (2 weeks plus), you will gain back a BIG FAT ZERO!(surly after a prolonged fast, this little sacrifice of "tastey" food is no biggy?.. (NO NO NO says one that cannot live a day post fast without meat, concurring a theory that we break all laws of nature by living without! and we have a case study of one old man who has eaten meat all his life for this ground braking idea!) after this point, gaining anything can be prevented by having one carby cooked meal aday (best to keep this in the evening) and eating non-meals throughout the day for the rest of your needs (fruits, smoothies, juices and nuts in insane quantities)

I hope I have not come across offensive, but it has to be said, fastign is a process that requires not only adjustment pre and during the fast but also for a prolonged periond post fast - no one feeds a baby on cooked food upon birth!

And finally try doing a fast pure, it will promote a process where your body seeks out more fat to help eliminate the toxins stored within. It cannot do this when its actually starving on teas and chemicals (fizzy 0cal drinks)

Water weight is mostly what comes off first. It does vary but would say unless you are very obese 5 to 10 might be a good guess. I went down 260 to 217 lowest on 40 day water 31/juice 9 basically fast. I hit 227 highest few weeks after fast on re feeding. I did eat normally and did eat quite a bit of salt and carbs both of which will hold water.I do retain some water as well.

Fought that down over 7 weeks to 222 and started this current fast at 222 now 204.4 today. Again likely 5 to 10 is water weight.
Thats why short fasts are kind of wastes of time although regular intermittent fasting can be useful to maintain or maybe drop weight slowly. Several kinds of that like Warrior Diet, FAST-5 and EAT STop EAT last two have websites.
I do eat stop eat and have been skipping breakfast post first fast with pretty good sucess at least in holding weight off but also do exercise too.

3 day fasts are not that great as you fight hunger on the short ones. By day 3 or so all the hunger is gone you have burnt up the glucogen in body and liver and now start really burning up the fat with ketosis. So really you have to go longer to do a good job and good to get down say 10 under goal weight so if you want to be 160 go to 150 so if you bounce up 10 not a big deal. how much water again varies.Some huge people might lose 30 or more pounds of water. Some thinner might lose only 5 pounds. As said I seemed to lose about 10 from that regain or maybe bit more. I was still not taking in much calories post fast and was doing fair amount of exercise as well. So maybe gained 12 whatever hard to say exactly.
You could of course try to eat very low carb and very low salt and less water weight would come back. but I like my carbs and bit of salt in my food.

25 days might take off 25 or so pounds on water fast. 10 might be water weight roughly guessing and 15 would be fat.
And you do burn fat big time fasting not muscle as long as you have fat to burn first.

I am not sure what you heard but my waist is down like 6 inches after my fasts from like 42 to 36. I would post pics but shy. Maybe when get to 180 or so.

And rather than trying to lose tons of weight in one super long and boring fast. Try shorter ones like couple of 20 day or so . Much easier and still effective. Fact think some say weight loss slows quite a bit after 20 days or so. Course as you get lighter you also lower your bmr and some metabolic slowdown on long fasts guess also is to blame.
So sweet spot might be like 20 day fasts talking water of course. Juice fasting is slower about half water depending of course on how much calories you drink on the juice.

If you do cardio for 20-30 mins then you lose water weight.
After that, you start losing real weight.
Add bananas! Water dense fruits like Watermelon and cucumber. Some foods are natural duretics. Just dont mess with the real pill stuff, thats just gonna throw your body out of a horrible balance you dont want.

For anyone like me who exercised daily and watch what they eat yet don't lose weight as fast we want, I tried Coolsculpting and it has helped me a lot.

I gained weight after having issues at work and was looking for the perfect diet and finally found it. I was so impressed I became an associate. TruVision is awesome.
