It can be very depressing when after 3 or 4 days of being so good even although you know there is a delicious cheese cake in the fridge that suddenly all reason leaves you and you pig out. Often we pig out because our bodies are craving for vital vitamins and minerals which some diets just don't deliver. A juice fast will deliver to you many more of the vitamins that our bodies require than most other diets, as long as you include vegetable as well as fruit juices.

A one day juice fasting for weight loss is a great way to start any diet. By drinking juice for one day you will allow your body to have a good detox while it adjusts to less food. Clearly by only doing this for one day you are not going to lose much weight. However it is safe to remain on a juice diet for 2-3 days although be aware that you may suffer from a few headaches, bloating or unexpected aches and pains : your body's way of saying it is recovering from all of the chemicals and toxins that supermarket foods contain.

After the maximum 3 days, it's sensible to introduce other foods so your diet is balanced. The plan is to replace breakfast, lunch and supper with a juice and then to have a normal calorie controlled meal at the end of the day.
