I know you have heard it all, but I have to say I am not a fan of the juice diet, for this reason: It is unsustainable over the long term ...

I have lost nearly 70 lbs using the 5:2 Alternate Day Fasting diet ... it has taken 18 months to get there, so it has been a long term process, but that is what I was looking for ... not a fast, flash in the pan crash diet ....

Search for 'vimeo Michael Moseley eat fast and live longer'

I now 'fast' two days a week, and eat moderately the other five days (hence the '5-2 reference) ... By 'fast', I mean calorie restricted on fast days, not starving .... 500 calories for women, 600 calories for men ... it's easier than you think ....heavy on veggies with light whole grain and fruits (whole fruits with pulp intact)

It is saving my life, right now ...

Go find and watch the video ... good luck
