dear Cupkake.Luver,
i just read your post about wanting to fast and i have some advice to give you.
so from your quote "just drink fresh fruit juice" i assume you are doing a juice fast and not a water fast. this is slightly more wise, however 30 days is quite a long time and i would seriously consider your previous diet before starting this fast. are you a vegan? do you eat healthy and clean food without chemical additives and preservatives? if you are coming from a SAD(standard american diet) which include processed foods/fast food, meat and dairy i would most definitely eliminate those before starting ANY sort of fasting. the detox you will experience will be very great if you just go from SAD to fasting and since you have a LO i assume you will not be resting, and resting is key during any fasting to allow the body to properly detox which i am hoping is the primary reason of you doing the fast and not weight loss, although it is a nice side effect if you aren't already underweight.
so basically my advice if you would like to lose weight and detox your body, is to switch to a more cleaner diet, do not overeat and once youve done that for a while you may consider a short juice fast of some sort.
please take care
and to everyone bashing fasting, there is a time and place for fasting. it's not for everyone but to completely call it off is unjust and IS beneficial for those who NEED it and can afford to do it. i have water fasted several times in the past and i know the benefits it holds when done properly.
