Question by stay_cj: Hi – I keep hearing about the advantages of “juice fasting/detox”. Does it work?
Did it work for you? Is it healthy? I want to lose weight – and feel better – and have been thinking about getting a book etc…and trying to start something. Any input you might have would be great! I would love to hear your experiences with juice fasting/detox, too! Thanks for your help!
Some additional info – I am on a healthy diet now – and exercising regularly. I was just interested in a “jump start” for weightloss and the detox benefits. I have heard so much about the benefits of detox.

detoxing and fasting are not effective ways to lose weight. you’ll lose weight very temporarily but it’s almost certain to come back on. they are mainly concerned with health and well being.
the smart way to lose weight is having a healthy diet and exercising. nothing else.
