What an 8-Day Juice Fast *Really* Does to Your Fat 🩺

You think juice fasting is a “cleanse”? Cute. What if I told you it hijacks your metabolism, tanks your insulin, and sets your fat on fire—then ghosts you in a week? 🩺

DIAGNOSIS

• You crave control over your sugar, cravings, and fat.
• You believe juice fasting is a detox. It’s not.
• Your body rewires itself fast—but snaps right back.

AUTOPSY

Five healthy men gave up solid food for 8 days—just juice, 150-300 calories a day, no fats or protein. 🧠

Their triglycerides crashed by 50%, insulin nosedived 65%, and their bodies went full fat-burning mode (NEFA up 500%). But that “bad” cholesterol—LDL—spiked 35%. That’s your body throwing fat into circulation like an emergency power grid.

And then? Everything normalized a week later. Poof. Back to baseline.

PRESCRIPTION

1. Replace — “detox” fantasies with metabolic reality
2. Ritualize — short-term fasts, paired with smart refeeding
3. Audit — NEFA, LDL, and insulin trends if you track bloods

PROGNOSIS

A juice fast won't “cleanse” you—but it will jolt your system. Use it wisely, not religiously. You’re playing with matches. Don't expect a fire to last forever without fuel.
