Juice Fasting has been about for millenia. It involves you surviving on the raw juice of vegetables and fruit and nothing else (apart from water and presumably herbal teas).
The benefits to juice fasting is often dramatic weight loss and a detoxifation of your body to get rid of all those dangerous toxins that frankly are in our processed food of today.
Your juice fasting plan is unique to you. Do not think you have got to follow a fast for a selected period of time. It can be as short as replacing one meal a day with a juice or a day per week, a day per month, whatever.
By doing a juice fast you give your body the chance to heal and to detox. In effect you are giving your body a rest.
Your body needs a certain quantity of energy to digest food, and processed food (essentially anything man made) requires more work for your body to digest which takes energy. The more energy your body has to expend digesting, the less it has available for self healing and energy generally.
Are you aware that if you eat plenty of junk food (and other unhealthy food like chocolate, etc) that these have ingredients that are lethal to your body, and that your body attempts to shield you by wrapping these toxins up in fat?
So when you do go on a juice fast there will be amounts of time where you will actually feel worse. This is usually only for 1 or 2 daya and the reason is your body is releasing these toxins and they're leaving your body.
In the beginning of a juicing fast you'll suffer headaches, feel exhausted, lack energy, and more. However these are temporary feelings that will depart and then you will begin to see the positive is affecting of your fast, more energy, and a more healthy body.
And do not forget another huge benefit of a juice fast is weight loss. There are lots of stories of folks losing huge amounts of weight of juice fasts!
