Drinking enough water througout a fast is very important.
You may believe that because you are ingesting all of the juice, you are getting more than enough fluids and therefore do not need to drink more water, or you may be drinking so much juice that you simply do not seem to have the time to drink lots of water as well. Whatever the case you must drink enough clean pure water.
Why you should drink lots of water
About 14 hours into a fast your body runs out of glucose gained from your liver and brain, and goes to your fat reserves in order to release energy. At this stage your body goes into a state of ketosis, where toxins are released into the blood stream as the fat is metabolised. These toxins, in the abscence of enough clean water, can build up and ensure you expeience some pretty nasty detox symtoms.
