  That's refreshing -- someone following a diet to explore relationship to food, power of will, etc.  Otherwise, "juice cleansing" is just the latest in America's century old, puritanically rooted, obsession with "health" voodoo.

  Stop right there. While the subjects of the video seem to be more interested in social impact of food, and not cleansing or weight loss the juice cleanse as a diet trend, it still makes me laugh, and rightfully so! You'll see I have good reason. Now, try having your teeth wired shut for 8 weeks- almost two months. Then talk to someone who wants to do a juice cleanse.
     I am a fairly active guy and had no weight issues at the time my teeth were wired shut for, yes, 8 weeks. I will save all the details of menus, time saving meals, and not being able to eat the cherry off the top of my tasty shake as it sat there mocking my incarcerated tongue.  I ate, or rather drank through a 2 oz. syringe, everything and anything that I could in order to KEEP WEIGHT ON. It didn't work. I still lost 30 lbs. that I did not have to lose. Lethargic, weak, and unable to open my mouth (tendons and muscles shorten and tighten) the ordeal continued for two more weeks as everything stretched back out.
     And you want to do a juice cleanse for a month? The best advice you can follow is to always make sure that you are sitting down to eat different meals that have been prepared by you from food that is fresh. No cans, preservatives, or prepared food like ice cream and frozen options like potstickers. Just simple, made from scratch, food. Next is to drink a lot of water. Finally, do not consume alcoholic beverages. Otherwise, go nuts!

  This is a terrible idea and no one should try it. It's a good way to die and get sick. I'm a med student and a design student so i frequent the site a lot. It's not a healthy thing to do at all.  Excessive amounts of fructose and no proteins or fats. It's a terrible idea.  If you do juice it should be a supplemental thing, and salivary enzymes aid in digestion so you should chew on those little pieces of spinach leaf or pulp.,
