Hi Everyone. I'm new to the site. I just decided to do a 30 day juice fast (although I will be fasting mostly on water). I would love the support, and even better, for you to join me.
Here's my plan. April 5th to May 4th I will be fasting on mostly water, however, I plan to supplement with juice every 3-4 days or as needed. I have read a lot of information that says this is the best plan for weight loss. You get the benefits of Water Fasting yet you can still exercise. I know some people say that your body never enters the protein sparing state in juice fasting, but I have also read that protein loss isn't too significant.
Anyway, for 7 days after that I will be reintroducing raw foods, and I plan to stick to a raw diet for the future. My main reason for doing this fast is for weight loss. The longest I have fasted in the past is 6 days, and I am really looking for a better detoxification. During the 30 day fast, I hope to lose at least 40 pounds and through the raw diet I hope to lose an additional 10 pounds. My starting weight is 198 pounds...and my normal, healthy weight has been 145 pounds in the past. Good Luck to everyone on their journeys and I hope to hear from you.
TODAY: Mostly water with some herbal teas. I also did some yoga. I feel pretty good, but I just have tight muscles.

This is a reply to # 840,785I have done long fasts and cannot recommend long fasting on water for weight loss. Regardless of how you fast you will lose around 1 lb. daily, even drinking lots of fresh juices, which will keep your energy level high (I do my regular gym routine every fasting day barring crises) and protect your health.
Burning fat can release dangerous amounts of toxins like DDT into the system. However, if you fast on fresh fruit and vegetable juices, get plenty of daily exercise (which also helps weight loss) and keep your colon very clean every fasting day, the danger is minimal. DDT and other toxins are released more slowly into the blood stream than during a water fast, and are better neutralized and more efficiently and safely excreted from the body due to rich mineral and vitamin content of juices. Daily colon cleansing, exercising and deep breathing help to make fasting safe with respect to release of toxins into the blood.
If you are quite overweight and want to fast on your own, it is better advised to do a series of short fasts (up to ten days) rather than one very long fast. This way fat tissues are burned at a slower rate, toxins released at intervals and eliminated more safely. You should eat a good cleansing diet (mainly fruits and vegetables) for a week between fasts until you have lost the weight you need to lose.
Unfortunately, quick weight loss is a poor goal. You CAN protect your health and lose weight quickly on the above plan, but be aware that unless you plan now for a diet and EXERCISE program you can live with post-fast, you will regain any weight lost fasting PLUS, very quickly! Fasting for weight loss is a great spring board for a newer, healthier way of living, but you need to rethink your goals and strategies with your health in mind if you want to succeed in the long run.
Best,
Somer
