This diet based on fruits an vegetables mainly, with other foods full of fibers, it separated to two phases the first have to apply the next menu for 10 days only:

Lunch: Eat only oranges and grapefruit or pineapples or plums whatever you fancy but don’t mix the fruits. Eat till hunger is satisfied.

Dinner: Eat only apples, pears, grapes or bananas. Eat only one fruit at a time and eat till hunger is satisfied. During the week you can vary daily the fruits you want to eat on that particular day.

After those 10 days follow the next :

So what do you think is it the magic you waiting for? Does it good for you? Are you interested in trying such kind?

To me I’m not, yes I’m  not , there is no magic in losing weight, it’s a game of intake and output calories, eat healthy move or dance , and you will be in your fitter shape ever with permanent loss weight.

But if you like it ok apply it but our friendship force me to tell you the next:

You must do it for short time not long and  take care to maintain intake of vitamins and nutrients.

However, there are no specific side effects associated exclusively with juice fasting, though certain medical conditions such as diabetes may be aggravated by excessive intake of certain juices.

Juice mixes containing grapefruit juice may also adversely interact with certain prescription drugs. Additionally, the juices from highly acidic fruits such as tomato and citrus juices can conceivably upset the body’s natural acid-base (pH) balance

Some individuals should be careful before performing excessive juice fasting or even attempting juice fasting without the consultation from medical practitioners.

These include children; the malnourished and underweight; pregnant or lactating mothers; advanced cancer patients; individuals with poor immunity; individuals who have recently undergone surgery; individuals who suffer from stomach ulcers like me, low blood pressure, excessive fatigue.

How to apply it?

Some practitioners take part in bi-annually week-long (or longer) periods of fasting in order to cyclically purify the body along with the nature’s annual cycles. These semi-annual fasters and others may also take monthly, shorter (two or three days) periods of fasting. Some fasts involve a week-long trip to a spa resort, with Thailand being one especially popular destination.

Because pure juice contains little to no fiber, juice fasters often use an enema or a herbal or saltwater laxative during the time of fasting to efficiently expel waste from the intestines and colon. Another method is mixing psyllium husks in with the juice. Because psyllium is not absorbed by the body but increases in volume greatly upon absorbing water, it creates the bulk necessary to keep the bowels moving.

Med opinion

Some scientists, dietitians, and doctors regard juice fasting and other detox diets as less effective than drinking a glass of water, and hence generally harmless but a waste of money .

Dr Catherine Collins, Chief Dietician of St George’s Hospital Medical School in London, England, states that “The concept of ‘detox’ is a marketing myth rather than a physiological entity. The idea that an avalanche of vitamins, minerals, and laxatives taken over a 2 to 7 day period can have a long-lasting benefit for the body is also a marketing myth .
