Juice Fast?
Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 10:45 am
Question for Dr. Novick and/or any McDougallers out there....
What is your opinion of periodic short-term (1-3 days) juice/broth/water fasts for colon and liver cleansing (not for sustainable weight loss)? My acunpuncturist has suggested working with her naturopathic doctor partner for a supervised spring cleansing, complete with fasting, herbs and colonics (not so sure about that last part!).
Are there juice fasting techniques (completely organic, non-chemical of course) that you would recommend? Do you have experiences with fasting that you would be willing to share, especially what benefits did you receive and what were the challenges?
Thanks in advance for any insights you might share.
