[quote=Anonymous]Juicing does not destroy or remove the nutrients.  It removed the fiber, allowing you to consume MORE fruits and vegetables than you could eating them whole.

I've done a 9 day juice fast and the first day was the hardest.  I lost a good amount of weight (maybe 13 lb?  I can't remember for sure).

My suggestions:
1.  You MUST drink a laxative tea for the first 3-4 days at night.  A friend of mine did not and was extremely blocked up, such that she chose to stop.  The juices remove the fiber, so you need to drink the tea to get rid of the waste in your colon.  After a few days, your colon should be empty and you wont need to continue the tea (bec you're not eating solids).
2.  Drink lots of water.
3.  On your first and days, I would do half juice and half solid fruits and vegetables, to ease yourself in and out.  I would also cut meats a day or two prior to ease yourself in.
4.  Drink lots of water.
5.  Experiment.  Find a recipe that you think looks good and tweak it if necessary.  
6.  If you make juices for the day in the morning, you need to keep them in an airtight container so that they don't spoil during the day.
7.  Go to whole foods and get some supplements that are beneficial to add to your juices.  Chlorophyl (I think) is one and there's another that I'm forgetting.  
8.  Your breath may stink for the first few days and your tongue will be white.  That's normal and good (toxins being killed). 
9.  When you begin to fantasize uncontrollably about what fatty and horrible foods you're going to gobble down when you're finished, its time to stop.  Seriously.  No point in doing a juice fast if you're just gonna pack the lb back on as soon as you take your last sip. Better to do a shorter fast and have it stick than to do a long one with a weight loss you cant maintain.   [/quote]
