I am contemplating doing a juice fast to not only lose unwanted weight, but to detox my body of impurities, but I am confused as to where I begin. Do I need to do a liver and kidney flush before doing the fast? I don't want to harm my body, so I am searching for some good advice. Also, if I have to do the flush before hand, can anyone give me the instructions, and recipes to do the flush? Very Confused....- Re: New and Confused #50375

This is a reply to # 679,417Although it always helps to have a colon, liver and kidney cleanse, a fast can be done prior to those cleanses. Also, if this is your first time, then you may want to try a juice fast - much easier if you are already juicing.
You can find a nice introductory guide to fasting and the juice fast at the following site. It gives simple guidance to beginners on fasting and juice fasts.

MoreThis is a reply to # 679,418Thank you for answering that for me. After reading all of the different posts, it is hard to determine where one needs to begin.
Yes, this will be my first fast. I am excited to begin it, not only for the weight loss benefits, but to feel truly healthy again. I also am hoping that by doing this, it will make quiting smoking alot easier for me. I am so ready for a different way of life, because obviously what I have been doing thus far is no good! (Proofs in the fact that I have anything with an "ut", butt, gut...you name it!)
Are there any words of advice you can give someone who has never done this before? I have read that it is best to do a raw food diet for about a week to get your body ready for the fast. Is this all raw fruits and vegetables? (Some, I would be afraid to eat raw)
Thanks in advance for the advice.....

Hi! No need to be confused! Juice fasting is a very gentle cleanse of your entire system--including the liver/gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, lungs etc. You CAN do a Liver Flush before proceeding, if you like. You can also wait until you have broken your fast (when digestion is fully reestablished) and do it then.
A little more critical is parasite treatment. If you have not parasite cleansed in recent memory you would do yourself a big favor to take care of that before beginning a fast. There is an excellent forum here at curezone with all the info. There is also a fantastically supportive Liver Flush Forum , which you should also check out.
You can do a pre-cleanse diet of fruits and vegetables while you are doing the parasite cleanse. This will prepare you and get your body gently into the cleansing mode, then you can go right into a juice fast. At the top of this post you can click where it says All Somers Messages and graze through for all sorts of juice fasting info. If you still have questions, please let me know!
Best to you,
Somer

This is a reply to # 679,422Thank you for that information, Somer. parasite treatment? Sounds grueling. I can find the instructions here? There are so many posts, it's hard to sift through them all to find what you are looking for. Do you have something you could email me? If so, that would help me out tremendously.
I have been doing the South Beach Diet and have had a little success (5 pounds lost) but I would like to lose between 40-50. I am 6 feet tall, and weigh about 220 right now. What kinds of success have you had doing a juice fast, and how did you feel after it was over? I have read about people being healed of some pretty serious things by doing this. Thank God I don't have any major ailments, but I know by doing this, it can only make me feel better. I truly hope that it cuts my cravings for cigarettes, too. That it something that I am REALLY looking forward to.

This is a reply to # 679,424Howdy!
There is a parasite forum here at curezone. Go there and read up/ask questions. Nothing grueling... you can decide which method you like best and go for it. The forum is very supportive and informational.
I have done extensive fasting over the past three years with the main goal of colon cleansing, with amazing results! You do lose about a pound a day juice fasting, but it really should be considered a cleanse rather than a "weight loss diet". The good news is... lots of toxins are stored in fat, and lots of fat is burned in a fast! This is one of the main reasons you will need to do a colon cleansing routine every day you fast... click at the top of this post to see All Somers Posts, graze thru and if you still have questions let me know.
Last summer I did an extra long fast of 60 days, supervised by my excellent naturopath. Anything over 20 days (many experts say 10) really should be supervised, and I was glad at several points to have support. This summer I am doing a series of ten dayers, with about ten days of cleansing diet between, also with excellent results. A ten day fast is MUCH easier to break than a longer fast, and you DO get impressive results. I will start my fourth ten day fast in this series next Saturday and am looking forward already.
Best,

This is a reply to # 679,433Well, since the last time I posted, I started eating only vegetables, and fruits. Raw, except for in the evenings, when I made a vegetable soup. After 4 days of eating that, I decided to juice fast. I have successfully made it through 3 days, and have lost about 12 pounds so far. Today, I have decided to break my fast. I plan on eating only fruits and veggies probably until the weekend, and then do another fast, only go for four days. The only discomfort I had was a minor headace, and being a little tired.
I tell you what, though, I feel so good, and only after these three days, I am already able to fit into clothes that I have not worn in a while.
I am still smoking,but not as much.
Just thought I would keep you updated, I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MY BODY, AND WHAT A PERSON CAN DO TO GET THEMSELVES HEALTHY!!! :)
