Re: Please advice me??
Peggysue2,
Your aim then is to lose weight via Intermittent water-fasting alternated with juice dieting.
The only problem I would see with that approach is just make absolutely sure that your juices should be as all-encompassing and as varied as possible. This would include not just fruits but greens and other veggies as well. I would use carrot as a base for the veggie-juice.
This will also minimize the risk of malnutrition which can easily happen on a restricted diet, which is basically what you are doing.
Some Doctors who support
Water Fasting (such as Dr J Fuhrman MD) are against the idea of total water-fasting to lose weight, and I would include myself within that opinion-base; reasons are, it will lower your metabolic rate and you will burn far less calories that way.
But, alternating water-only for a few days with juice only for a few days thereafter, will discourage the body from lowering this metabolic rate, and you will therefore lose more weight this way.
Make sure you also "conduct" this regimen carefully, and listen to your body as to its needs such as resting or sleeping when the body demands or requires it.
Do not over-exert yourself.
We should also bear in mind and remind ourselves that water-only fasting should be a "stepping-stone" to better health and achieved by a lifestyle/diet that reflects that "mind-set" to "change" post and pre-fast.
Lifestyle changes post-fast can seemingly achieve the impossible, and where a mostly raw vegan diet is reported to even reverse cancers: Professor T C Campbell of the China Study.
We should also get away from the idea that a diet is "restrictive" and punishing by limiting the amount of food and calories we consume daily.
A diet in this context is non-restrictive as long as it is low calorie but nutrient-dense at the same time, and where if you adhere to proper food combining as well, you can eat with impunity and STILL LOSE WEIGHT in achieving your ideal BMI.
