Juice feasting should NOT be confused with a juice fast. In a fast, you restrict your calories but in a juice feast, you can have as much as you want (or more like, as much as you can drink). Every day on a juice feast, you are juicing and drinking 10-12 lbs of nutrient dense fruits and veggies (plus other accepted supplements).
So, it's like a smoothie?
Not really. When juice feasting you remove all of the pulp and fiber from the juice. By removing the fiber, you're basically doing the work of your large intestine by yourself. The large intestine basically works at condensing and squeezing out all of the nutrients but when you juice your fruits and veggies, you get all of the nutrients out yourself so your large intestine can have some R&R. Thus, your body can concentrate on healing other parts.
That doesn't seem healthy...
Quite the opposite actually. From the juice feasting website, they say, "For most of us, no matter what our dietary history before a Juice Feast, this is more nutrition - and more bioavailable nutrition - than we may have ever received in our lifetimes, save our months/years of breastfeeding." How many fruits and veggies do YOU get in a day? Even if you get more than the recommended amount, it's still probably 8-10lbs less than what the average juice feaster gets in a day. You get all of the calories, proteins, fats, and other supplements that you would need.
How long do you feast?
The official program goes for 92 days but there have been people that only do it for 3 days. It's really up to the individual. I have decided to try it for 30 days.
How much does that cost?
I spend $50 every 5 days or so. I know that may be expensive but to me, it's worth it.
Are you crazy?
Crazy about health! *double thumbs up*
