You can never have too much carrot. :) I lived off the stuff for 145 days and my skin never turned orange. However, I have heard of other people having issues such as this. If the skin thing is really a concern, drink until you turn orange and then slow it down. You'll be able to figure out how much was too much eventually. But healthwise, drink away.

Oh, and I went in for one of my yearly eye exams and my vision had actually improved a great deal after this fast. Optometrists don't usually see vision improving. My doc was worried that he had given me the wrong prescription last year. Nope, it was the carrot juice.

I've been "limiting" myself to 4 or 5 carrots a day....no good reason for it, I'm just trying to make sure I don't skimp on other goodies like spinach, kale and cabbage.
Re the recipes, I think carrot is popular because it's so palatable, also carrots store well. The juice is quite soothing. If I'm in a rough patch during a fast I'll sometimes make an extra juice with just carrot and apple...it puts everything right with the world!

My current vegetable quota goes something like...
1/2 bunch parsley (which equals about 1 cup of the leaves, or 2 TBSP juiced)
1/2 Beetroot
4 good size carrots
1/2 cabbage
1/3 sweet potato
Good size bunch of spinach, or sometimes kale
1 cucumber
4 good size stalks of celery

Fruit:
1 pear
5 apples (usually green)
3 lemons (squeezed in hot water)

My juicer is fairly efficient so that makes my 6 glasses of juice easily.
