On a juice fast you should drink freshly made fruit and vegetable juices. For this you will need to invest in a juicer. It is pointless to drink store bought juices as these have been pasteurised and are lacking in enzymes, vitamins, minerals etc. They are often made from concentrate and are not fresh fruit juice at all. It would be really inadvisable to do a juice fast unless you are going to juice fresh fruit and veggies as otherwise you will be doing your body a massive dis-service by just drinking a load of sugar every day.
Know these facts ...
Fruit juice is seen as cleansing and vegetable juice is seen as nourishing. Many people decide to have their fruit juice in the morning and vegetable juices in the evening. You should do whats right for you.
Fruit juice is seen as cooling and vegetable juice is seen as warming. So if you are feeling a little cold with the fast, stay away from fruit juices for the next couple of juices.
Also drink herbal or fruit teas, there are a wide range of warming teas out there, look out for those containing cinammon or vanilla. I found a chocolate one once!
Also when you feel colder, have hot vegetable broth. Simply cut up carrots, celery, potatoes, garlic, leeks etc and place in large pan full of water, add herbs for flavour DO NOT add salt or pepper. Simmer for an hour, strain, and drink the both. One lot of veg should last several broths. This broth is packed with electolytes and is incredibly nourishing and balancing.
