Re: Day 1 vegetable juice fast

Unlike juicing for weightloss where the juices calories is more important than its quality; your fast however, is for health(to rejuvinate your skin)& highly dependant on the juices quality.How your skin recovers might depend on the quality of nutrients you ingest after all its the preservatives ,concentrates and sodium in commercial food that probably got your skin in that state to begin.

As you already know there are many bottled juices available on the market today. One of the problems with these is that many of their valuable nutrients are lost during the bottling process. If you make your own juice and drink it fresh, you will have control over the quality of the fruits and vegetables you are consuming, and in many cases you will save money. Your local Farmer's Market is a great place to buy fresh, inexpensive and often organic produce.

When we freshly juice fruits and vegetables, their goodness is released from the fiber and we are able to drink their highly concentrated nutrients which are then able to enter our bloodstream very quickly. After your juice fast remeber fiber is essential to health, so be sure to continue eating raw fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains in conjunction with fresh juices to gain the maximum amount of nutritional value from what you eat.

Remember you wont be eating so why not redirect the money you would normally spend on food and get a juicer and fruit. At least getting started is more important I look up reviews of cheap juicers and the Hamilton Beach got rave reviews its currently on sale at Walmart for 49.99. That would be a start.

If fresh juice isnt an option a Water Fast is by far superior for clearing skin issues. A few days into a Water Fast one of the benefits people report is beautiful,clear, soft,supple healthy skin further cellulite has dissapeared for me from fasting.

If Water Fasting or fresh juice still arent an option then try to dilute your store bought juice with as much water so you at least dilute the bad stuff.Oops I guess I missed the part where you said you "want to lose 10 pounds." sorry in that case then diluting the juice is also great cause you get less calories this way.

Whatever your choice all the best and if you have any questions just ask!

Best wishes
