From my experience, using a juice fast for weight loss can be disastrous.
If you are going to fast, then remember, the key is to try and consume NO calories for a period of time (I like 24 hours).
Juice is loaded with calories, so it’s like drinking liquid food, and much less filling…if you think about it, this is actually depressing – you get the calories without the pleasure….in my opinion this defeats the whole purpose.
A true juice fasts (really, it should be called a juice DIET) can actually be very low calorie when done properly, but it is NOT a true fast.
With high sugar comes insulin, and with insulin GH release is blocked and if GH release is blocked and insulin is released you can say BYE BYE to fat being released from your fat stores.
You can lose weight with a juice fast (if done PROPERLY) but you do lose the ‘on/off’ simplicity of a fast, you don’t learn how to handle food cravings AND you lose the potent GH effects of true fasting.

A true fast (even a short one) can reap all the BENEFITS OF GROWTH HORMONE, a juice diet can not.
