Question 3

what if i try juice fasting for 30days, i weight 160 height 5'3, im just stuck in a plateu lost 25lbs exercising & dieting but now i can't seem to loose?

Accepted Answer

Weights, not fasting: First, congrats on losing 25 pounds!  the key to weight loss is your energy expenditure needs to be greater than intake.  What kind of exercises are you doing? While low impact and cardiovascular exercises are great, incorporating strength training is just as important.  The more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism and the more calories you burn at rest.

Question 4

i weight 160 and my height is 5'3 and im 21 years old, i want to try the juice fasting is it safe for me?

Accepted Answer

Not most effective: If you do it for a short period of time it's not harmful but i dont think its the best way to lose weight! you're going to shock your body, most likely consume less calories than your resting metabolic rate (calories burned by sitting and doing nothing)! this method of weight loss can cause a slow down in metabolism.  When you go back to your regular diet, you may gain the weight back or worse!
