the reason why your still fat is because your eating 7 meals a day.
give IF a go, i lost 8KG in 2 months.
basically the first week i only allowed myself to eat for 4 hours a day (4pm-8pm).
the second week onwards 6 hours a day (2pm-8pm).
my body has now got used to this, and i now even when i dont fast can only manage to eat 2 meals a day (1 of them being a bowl of cereal).
guess what, im losing weight, eating whatever i want. eating smaller portions, less meals and never feeling hungry.
the most important thing is, if your eating and you feel full, stop eating, even if you only have a little left, just leave it. overeating is the problem. i also drink pints of water constantly. i have 3 big water bottles i keep with me.
combine the above with some cardio and stronglifts 5 x 5, you should have a 6 pack within 6 months. only if your 100% willing to do the above exactly.
The reason you're getting bad reactions to this idea is because it's a bad idea.
This is almost exactly what I was about to say:Thats just one website I looked at for tips, I already posted the source as the origonal documentary and then followed it to up this website http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/ which then led me to this website http://jointhereboot.com/reboot-program/the-reboot-entry-plan/during-your-reboot-entry/
You guys seem to have some big issues and problems with me doing this juice fast. The way you're all coming across is pretty much how you've always come across with me over the years. It feels like you're flaming me and you're basically laughing at me?
Not really sure where this anger and hatred is coming from? The thread title is "Starting a 10 day fruit/veg juice fast - Few questions" I was hoping someone would reply and say something along the lines of:
"Hi Scotch, yes mate, I've been on a fruit/veg fast before and it was great, the first few days was hard because I was on the toilet none stop because it detoxes your body to begin with, but after that it got easier and I started to feel great once my body got adjusted. My tips for you are add lemon and olive oil to your juices and try to buy all organic. Also spending money on a decent juicer/blender is worth it in my opinion as the cheaper ones arent always powerful enough to chop through certain veggies and potatoes depending on what foods you plan to use. Good luck with your fast! "
Thats what I would have expected, but instead I just get flamed with disrespect.
The only good thing about this diet is that you would be eating a lot of veg. You would lose weight because of calories. There is nothing else to it, you'd get the same results by adding more veg to your current diet and cutting the calories a lot.Joseph Mercola? Oh for **** sake.
No-one is going to say "Hey yeah I did this diet and it's great " because a) it's a stupid diet, and therefore b) it wouldn't be 'great' if they tried it.
Yes they're popular, but it doesn't mean that these diets are doing anything useful. Thousands of people buy diet pills and can still manage to convince themselves that they were worth it. I'm sure you'll find many people who are convinced this is a good idea, but it isn't.I thought fruit/veg juicing/smoothie diets were quite popular though, I know few of my aunties that tried it and said they enjoyed it and lost weight but was on the toilet quite a lot.
Well, I've always wanted to do a detox anyway so if I am on the toilet a lot then so be it.

As has been mentioned, Intermittent Fasting is worth a look.
Detoxing simply does not exist. People feel good because of extra nutrients. Maybe direct your research in this direction instead, for example: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7808348.stm
If Mercola agrees with anything you're saying you've got to start worrying. Ignore everything he says. If you're going to eat more veg, things like kale and spinach are EXACTLY the kinds of veg you should be eating.

I didn't feel the need to explain why it's a bad idea as there have been many explanations in this thread already.
I'm sure you'll perceive the 10 day thing to be a great success because you have yourself convinced that it's going to work. There's a difference between "staying positive" and what you're doing, which is ignoring advice that something might not actually be a very good idea. Just because our viewpoint is negative doesn't mean you have to sacrifice some previous positivity to take it on board.
My advice would be to step back and realise that the people in the gym are just being polite to you, whereas the people here don't give a flying **** about offending you so give you good, honest, useful advice.
Take it or leave it. Don't moan about it.
At least you realise you should reduce bodyfat rather than pack on minimal muscle mass on a high bodyfat frame.
Other than that: lolskskotchegg.
Also regarding eating 7-8 meals a day, or even 12 meals a day, the purpose of that for bodybuilders as I've read and heard from websites/forums/DVD's is that it speeds up your metabolism, I've also read that exercise does this too. So with me training 5 days a week HIT and HIIT and also eating 7 meals a day I believe my metabolism is going quite fast which is why I'm burning off the calories and losing weight at a gradual pace.
Have you ever heard of someone who is overweight and complaining that they can't lose weight because they have a slow metabolism? Well this documentary is going to investigate this question and see if there really is scientific data to back up this problem.
Go read Eat, Stop, Eat or any of the many studies on fasting/fasted training etc. and you'll see that yes, metabolism can be affected as you say but its in such a tiny amount (talking less than 1% most of the time) that it's insignificant.
It's like the whole 'starvation mode' broscience. If starvation mode existed, anorexics would be obese. That just wrinkled my brain.
For the long term try to aim for more than five portions of fruit and live foods (vegetables) per day. Vegetables are the last food group left that you'll see on a detox schedule, even fruit will be second place to them.

Method
1. Put everything apart from the nuts in a blender and blitz until smooth.
