On a juice fast you drink freshly squeezed juices that include, but are not limited to, carrot, apple, fruits, and greens. And on a fruit fast, the participant is only allowed to eat fruits – of any kind and in any amounts – while on the diet.

Most people who are fasting to lose weight start with a water-only fast. This phase lasts for 1-3 days, followed by a juice fast.

The juice you consume while fasting should be freshly squeezed at home using a juicing machine because the most beneficial ingredient in these juices are the living enzymes, which die after 24 hours. Thus, fresh squeezed juice is imperative to gaining the most benefit from the juice.

Once you have achieved your time goal for the juice fast, you can move into the fruit portion of the fast. This phase of the fast diet should be ½ the length of time of the water and juice phases combined. In other words, if you fasted drinking only water and juice for a total of 10 days then you should eat only fruit for a total of 5 days.

When you are juicing, it is important to use as much organic produce as you can to avoid the poisonous substances normally used in gardens. Just imagine pouring fungicides and herbicides into your body at an alarming rate as you juice 2 pounds of carrots to get 16 ounces of juice!

Once you complete the three phases of the weight loss fast, you can move into a raw food diet of vegetables and fruit for the same length of time as the fruit phase, which will continue to produce a rapid weight loss. You’ll also be cleansing out your lower intestines with the added fiber of the toxins that build up when you aren’t eating.

Be sure to include as much raw food as possible as you transition from fasting to a diet of foods that you can continue to eat and maintain your weight loss long term. Because living food is wonderful for a living body, you want to make sure you are incorporating lots of raw vegetables and fruits into your diet daily.
