As noted before me, it's not for everyone, and it's not a miracle plan. It still takes willpower and exercise.

I'm juicing now, under my Doctor's supervision, but the fast is just to do a "system reset" and get started weight loss, and has to be combined with diet and lifestyle changes to make a long-term difference.

There's certainly nothing wrong with juicing for a week or 10 days, maybe every three to six months, or add daily juicing to your meal plan instead of as a calorie-restricting fast to make sure you're getting your vitamins and nutrients.

You can pick up a decent centrifugal juicer for $60 or so on Amazon, and unless you're a fanatic about it or opening a commercial juice bar, there's not really a need for anything heavier duty (i.e. expensive).
