If you’ve ever heard of water or juice fasting as a way to detox – don’t do it… our bodies aren’t made to handle just water or just juice – we need solids, nutrients, minerals, vitamins, enzymes etc too. The whole “your digestive system will shut down, giving you more energy” crap – where are you getting the energy while your cells are eating at your muscles? It’s bollocks and dangerous. Your will die after 1 month on having just water… so you know you’re still doing yourself damage if you’re only doing it for a week…

Your digestive system IS the source of energy – sure adrenaline can give you short bursts of energy but overall you can get plenty of energy from raw foods (hence I’m trying out the raw-foods detox diet).. I can still lightly steam my veggies if I want, have grilled fish, a steak once or so a week. Honestly – you will be doing yourself more harm than good trying to fast on just water. Your liver and kidneys will be effected – and not in a good way.
