Actually, what the person said right before me is not 100% accurate. KETONES (not KEYTONES) are ONLY released if you are not consuming Sugar or starches (i.e. eating no carbohydrates and a lot of protien will have the same effect). If you are doing a juice fast, you will NEVER been in ketosis because of the way your body metablolizes the sugar.

As far as the VLCD, it depends on how much weight you have to lose. The general idea is that if you are obese (more than 20% of your ideal body weight), doing a VLCD is fine -- of course you will not have the same healing benefits as fasting -- but you will lose weight.
