I'm starting my second day of a pure juice fast. I'm not doing this to lose weight....in fact I don't want to lose weight but more for health reasons.

I'm a 30 yr old male, in decent physical shape and thought my diet was good. But when I look back, my definition of good was way off. I was eating lots of processed foods, diet cokes, coffee, whey protein powders, and pre work out drinks filled with all kinds of additives.

In the past year, my health went from 110% to 10%. My skin started getting dry and scaly, went to a dermatologist and he said eczema. Creams didn't really help. But oddly Apple Cidar Vinegar had some effect on it....that's when I knew it was diet related.

Also, in that same year I started getting symptoms of acidity. Stomach pains, throat and mouth sores, lips become dry and even irritated at times. My tongue, coated white and sensitve. Doctors said it's not candida.

I searched the ends of the internet for solutions. I've tried ACV, oil pulling, triphala, not long but maybe for several weeks with little results.

What I didn't try was changing my diet.

About a week ago, I began juicing....drinking it mayb 3x a day. But I was still eating lots of protein.

So I decided to do a juice fast. I have no end date but mainly until I feel better if it takes a month, two months, we will see. I hope I can do this.

But what benefits other than weight loss have you seen doing a juice fast?

How does it detox your body?

What was your journey like? Hard for a few days than easier. Rapid weight loss in the beginning than tapering? Did you exercise on the juice fast?

Thanks guys.
