Re: Alternating juice/water/water+caffeine fast

the body does not start feeding on muscle immediately . The liver stores fuel for the body in the form of glycogen, there is normally a 48-72 hour supply. When the supply is exhausted the body starts breaking down fatty tissue and uses ketones for its primary fuel. Muscle wasting is usually minimal as long as there is body fat to convert. True Water Fasting brings the body into ketosis fastest. True Water Fasting is water plus NOTHING, no juice, coffee, tea , sweet drinks, gum, mints, nothing but water. With juice fasting or Master Cleanse you need to consume just enough carbs to stay out of ketosis so muscle wasting will not begin. You can buy Ketosticks to measure ketones in your urine.
