Yes, I’m really big on juice fasting — using a juicer to make fresh vegetable and fruit.. I think the single best investment you can make in your health is a good juicer. Both fresh vegetable and fresh fruit juices are great, but I would definitely recommend emphasizing the vegetable juices as they are more alkalinizing and contain less sugar. Juice fasting cleanses the body while supplying a dramatic increase in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Vegetable and fruit juices are a living fuel that takes no digestive energies from the body, allowing the body’s entire focus to be on healing and rejuvenation.  It is packed with vitamins, minerals, living enzymes, antioxidants, phytochemicals, yet low enough in calories to force the body to cannibalize its own residual waste, propelling you to vigorous physical health and clarity of mind. Fruit and vegetable juices are the cleansers, energizers, builders, and regenerators of the human system.  A combination of either fresh, raw fruit or vegetable juices will supply all the enzymes, vitamins, minerals, protein, and fats critical to increased vitality! By adding live juices to one’s diet as a daily routine, you supply the body with easily absorbed nutrients, while the body is cleansing itself in the fasting state.

My recommended juice fasting protocol:

• Fast one day a week on juice and one of the super foods (chlorella, spirulina, stabilized rice bran, Aktivated barley, etc.).
• Once a month, do a 3 day juice/super food fast. 
• And twice a year, as part of a bi-annual liver detox, do a 5-6 day juice/superfood fast.

Here’s an interesting thought to keep in mind. If all you do is fast just one day a week, it adds up spectacularly. In seven years, you will have fasted for one entire year. For the average person, that represents 1.5 pounds saved every two weeks—39 lbs in body weight at the end of the seven years! What do you think a year of fasting every seven years would do to optimize your health—let alone slow down any weight gain you might otherwise have experienced?

Any good juicing book will walk you through a simple juice fast. Note: while fasting, you will want to minimize supplements to give your body a rest.
