- Be aware that individuals who practice juice fasts may experience dehydration, exhaustion, and weakness.
- For many people, a prolonged juice fast can cause low blood sugar levels, which leaves them feeling tired and weak.
- An extended juice fast can also affect emotional health. Some individuals may experience depression as their blood sugar plummets.
- Dehydration may occur because the body is used to receiving fluids from several food sources. When those food sources are removed, the body receives less fluids.
- Symptoms of dehydration may include a dry mouth, excessive tiredness, thirst, headaches, dizziness, and mental confusion. You may also notice that you urinate less frequently.
- When we follow a restrictive diet, the body automatically shifts into starvation mode. It tries to compensate for the lack of food by slowing down metabolism which leads to weight gain.
- If you still decide to do a juice fast, be sure to obtain some professional guidance from your health care provider or nutritional expert.
