Weight Loss and Juice Detoxification

I have been reading a couple of books and visiting a couple of web sites at the urging of my acupuncturist. I am learning all kinds of information on the power of juice fasting and how it can help those of us who are trying to lose weight.

Many believe they can benefit from juicing by:

-- cleaning out the built up toxins in the blood
-- restoring proper function to various organs throughout the body
-- gaining energy and mental clarity
-- cleaning out the bowel thoroughly
-- improving the quality of nutrients going in to the body

All of this will assist you in losing weight by dramatically cleaning out the junk that has been in a holding pattern in your bowels for some time. It will also help you function better mentally as well as internally.

From what I understand, it is best to drink primarily vegetable juice and minimize the sugary fruit juice content. I just did this for a few days and I was shocked at how much it helped me think clearly, feel energized and lose weight. I mixed all juice with equal amounts of water and made sure to take something like Smooth Move -- a tea that facilitates bowel elimination everyday (the key to success and weight loss).

What I experienced was well worth not eating solid food for a few days. I plan to do this one day a week for quite some time to continue to improve my weight loss as well as my energy level.
