BAD.
Any "diet" that tells you to cut out healthy food is BAD, even if it only lasts two days. You need protein, you need fresh veggies, you need starch, you need complex carbs. Protein helps build muscle and tone, and more veggies than not burn more calories to digest than they have in them (they're GOOD FOR YOU). Complex carbs are to your body what gasoline is to a car. Cars don't drive without gas. Bodies don't function without complex carbs. Liquid diets are bad for you. All they do is make you lose water weight, it won't stay off; it's not a permanent solution. If you want to look a little skinnier for a day, go for it. You'll gain all the "weight" you lose right back the next day.
Juice diet gives you simple carbs, but nothing else. You'll be tired, probably have mood swings, and you'll be hungry all day, no matter how much juice you drink. Fresh juice or no, there's still a ton of sugar in it. Granted, it's fructose and not sucrose, but you still don't want to overwhelm your body with sugar.
Don't do this diet, it'll only disappoint you.

Oh right. I didn't know that. It didn't mention anything like that in the book.
In the future I'll know.
Thank you so much!

I'm a laid-back 26 year old with a Psychology BA, starting my MA program, and working my way into the field as quickly as I can. It took me an extra Bachelor's degree (in vocal performance and creative writing) to figure it out, but I was put on this Earth to help, to heal, and to love.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life and career to helping others. I am here to do just that.

I've been a member since 2004, and since I signed up, I've gone through quite a lot and learned quite a lot from it. I'm here to give guidance where I had none; no one should have to go through the difficulties I went through alone.

Feel free to visit my website/blog, if you want to read my experience with domestic violence and my thoughts on it.

***While I do tend to answer mental health and other health-related or medicine-related questions, I am by NO MEANS a licensed physician or practitioner of any sort. Any and all advice I give for these questions is from my own experience or studies.***

If you need to get a hold of me quickly, my screen name on AIM is SirenCytherea. Just let me know you found me here.

I'm a strong believer in the idea that there are no stupid questions except the ones left unasked, so, please, keep an open mind, heart, and mouth.
