This will be quick, as I am leaving for work. Juicing as a detox is wonderful. Juicing as a diet isn't good. Your body is made to do the whole digestion thing. Juiceing takes that away. If you stop utilizing your bodys natural abilility to digest foods, you will have problems when you start to attempt it again. If you're looking longer term, try smoothies (for the fiber) and juicing.

I am against things like metamucil and benefiber for the same reasons. There are foods that *scrub* the intestines just fine. When you start to use these substitutes, you enable your body to stop making the enzymes that do this for you.

Gotta go, if you have more questions just ask.
