I do a 10 day juice fast about every 6 months or so. Here's my experience:
- drop about 1-1.5lbs/day when I'm a couple days in, mostly water weight.
- feel great and alert despite the hunger
- skin clears up
- experience memory issues, perhaps a supplement could help with this
- usually loose about 5-10 lbs, but gain all but a few pounds back (I'm not over weight to begin with)
- every time I do it, despite the hunger it's a hugely positive experience
I never do a fast with the expectation of loosing weight. You loose weight by having a healthy lifestyle. Fasting helps detox your body.
The one thing I did that made me easily drop 25lbs in 3 months was eliminating all wheat/gluten from my diet. I basically live like I have celiac's disease. By adding higher fat foods in my diet and cutting the sugar/wheat products, I can still gorge myself with meats, nuts and veggies, but not have the negative effects similar to eating a bowl of pasta.
If you love pasta, buy corn pasta. It tastes like regular pasta and is a fraction of the cost of rice pasta, plus it's much lower on the glycemic index.
Coffee also acts as a great appetite suppressant, but I make sure to only have 2/cups day that I dilute in large iced coffees.
