I ate nothing but juice for 4 years of my childhood.

I ended up going for 49 days on my recent time of all juice.

My longest juice fast to date was 40 days, and I recently did 30 days.

I started another juice fast today -- fittingly, it's Independence Day, as I consider juicing my optimal route to a glorious life of independence from anything less than love, joy and peace almost 24/7.

I learned a valuable lesson from my most recent fast: This time I did a juice 'feast' instead of a fast, just to see what it would be like. The difference, for me, was that with the supplements (and I didn't even use half of the ones they recommend because I don't believe in taking all that stuff, no matter what the circumstances) I didn't experience the same cessation of hunger as I do when I juice fast. And suddenly, toward the end, I was absolutely ravenous for 3 days straight, and simply HAD to quit and start eating again. This was so unlike what a juice fast has been like for me in the past-- I've done a few of them, some quite long. I'll never do a juice feast again. I realize now that what happened was the powdered greens and oil were just like eating solid food, and my intestines didn't get a full rest.

Live and learn! It was still good-- I felt great and detoxified quite a bit.

This juice fast that I've just started will be even better though. I'm looking to do at least a month.

I did two weeks, before I had to eat something else but it was mainly because I was not around anything that could be juiced. I was house sitting for a friend and had to eat was around, as I ran out of my fruits and vegetables.

But I have to say, I felt great and would love to do it again!

For me it's not practical because I just like variety of eating solid foods as well, but I think if you wanted to you could juice all the time!
