Hello everyone, :) I've been lurking on these boards for several months and they have been a treasure trove of wisdom and experience on many topics. I just joined because I need to pose a question and get some expert advice.

I want to go on an extended juice fast to rid my body of 20lbs or so of unhealthy body fat and toxins accumulated through binging during the midst of recovery from Bulimia. I have been bulimic off and on for 5 years, and though I am largely recovered I had a relapse recently and was binging and purging once a day for a week or so lately and then immediately after that I tried Water Fasting for one day (intending to do an alternate day fast) and ended up only making it 20 hours before I got dizzy and short of breath and thought I was going to pass out and die! I think I was having a panic attack, which I am prone to, (also I can be a bit of a hypochondriac and I think that this may have contributed to the panic attack symptoms). Anyway either it was a pure panic attack or I figured it might have been related to low potassium levels due to purging becoming even lower during fasting?? (and perhaps I drank too much water which caused other problems??)

Anyway I have abandoned the notion of Water Fasting which I don't think my body is prepared for, the panic attack or whatever it was scared me too much, but I would REALLY like to do a 30 day or so juice fast- can someone tell me if this would be safe for me, based upon my history? What do you think? Many thanks in advance to anyone with experience who can answer my question!
