I would recommend taking an energy drink with gingko which is supposed to help thinking. That means Go Fast, Guru, Kronik, Rockstar or Crunk. Of those Kronik tastes the best, Go Fast tastes the worst and Rockstar is the easiest to find. Guru is all-natural. I'd go with Kronik if you can find it since it tastes good and gives the biggest energy boost.

Very difficult to do, some choose to add juice because we need the energy to continue the day.  One problem with this, if you do not have control over your eating don't start this diet because once you  are off, your body will request/demand that you eat and I mean "overeat" to store up extra calories for the next time you decide to stop eating:\n\nYou will not starve. You will not instantly become thin. Fasting is consuming only liquids. When the body does not have to deal with digesting solid food and getting rid of the waste that solid food creates, it can concentrate on getting rid of toxins. The most common reason to fast is to eliminate disease or from the body.\n\n \n\nHow much weight will I lose?\n \nThe main benefit offered by a fast, to those who wish to lose weight, is the speed of the weight loss. To see a person drop 30-to-40 pounds in a 30-day juice fast is to see a person totally transform his life. Self-esteem is given a boost and for the first time in their life, discipline becomes a lifestyle. The fast becomes a catalyst for a total life overhaul. People start dressing better, showing more confidence, becoming more organized, more dedicated in relationships and more at peace. \n\nInitially, weight loss can be as high as three-to-four pounds per day, but as the fast continues, the average loss will be one pound-per-day. If you are juice fasting and not losing weight, the juice is supplying all the calories you need. You may have to cut down on the juices or alternate between water fasting and juice fasting if losing weight is part of your goal. The slower your metabolism is the slower the weight loss.\n\nTry to stay focused on the healthy things you are doing to improve your life rather than being consumed with the number of pounds lost each day. Water retention can vary your weight five pounds so watching the scale can be frustrating. The best motivation to fast is for physical and spiritual health. Be patient; the fasting process is slow. Be thankful the toxins are leaving your body. Do not have unrealistic expectations. Give your body the time it needs to do the work of cleansing.\n\nFasting And Metabolism \n\n  The fear is that while fasting, the metabolism will slow down and afterward there will be more weight gained than before the fast. Initially, any calorie reduction will cause a lowering in the BMR or base metabolic rate. Cleansing will bring health that will increase metabolic performance and energy output. In other words, you will eat less and feel more energetic.\n \nAfter fasting, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted feces, allowing improved absorption of nutrients. The good news is that greater efficiency equals enhanced energy. Healthy people burn more calories. They also eat less because they are more active and feel better about themselves. They don't need food as a security blanket. \n\nThe greatest impact you can have on increasing your resting metabolism is exercise. After a workout, you can be sitting on the couch reading while burning calories, as the muscles are grabbing glucose from the blood to replace glycogen supplies. The key to weight loss is fewer calories and more exercise. A diet high in raw food provides fewer, low-density calories, and higher-fiber, more-filling foods.\n \nOh, by the way, a slower metabolism diminishes aging. A tortoise can live to 400 hundred years of age.

Yes, if you have a cup of any hot beverage including coffee or tea before a meal it will curb your appetite.

Krista is full of crap:\n"Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. "\nBS. Natural juices have sugar also. And there's no proven link between juice and diabetes.\n"Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer."\nMore BS. No proof that drinking water is helpful. All this is good for is making you pee a lot.\n"Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart."\nWHAT?? This is total crap. There is NO evidence to support this BS. (where does she get this?) Your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients. What an absurd concept.\n"You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two [sic] complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. "\nMore crap and BS. The science behind Gatorade has been going on for 30 years and there's NO evidence of any "need" to dilute it. It works just fine as-is. Again, your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients. \n\nDon't take diet advice from uneducated 19 year olds. It's full of myth and folklore, sadly lacking in truth and science.

That depends on the juices you choose to drink. Vegetable and fruit juices are very good for you and can provide the nutrients that most foods do. You will lose weight and be healthy.

I don't know if I drank honey and warm water and then brushed my teeth with toothpaste I would probably feel sick and then not want to eat.  So it might work. But I know that grapefruit has something in it that supposed to burn fat cells   ????

in terms of hydration, yes. In terms of vitamins & minerals, you'd get a lot more from juice than water. Unfortunately, you'd be getting a lot more calories as well. Apple & orange juice has about 100calories to an 8oz serving. So, if you consumed 64oz of juice instead of water, you'd be consuming 800 extra calories! More than a third of your daily caloric need!\n\nWatch out for juices - they have more sugar than do sodas!

In my opinion, SlimFast is nothing special at all.  All is is chocolate milk (or strawberry if you prefer).  The only thing SlimFast does is give you the illusion that you are full so that you wont eat.  Well, when I drink a glass of milk with Hershey's syrup in the morning, it does the same thing!  Milk just naturally makes you feel full - and that's all that SlimFast does.  So save your money and buy a gallon of milk and some Hershey's Syrup, Ovaltine, or Nestley Quick.

Cherry juice is a good suggestion, but this is a question you should really be asking your doctor.

slim fast is a meal replacement- works great and you can get the low carb shakes. milk will only add a few extra calories. take a multivitamin too, stick to it and work out. you can't go wrong.

If it was made out of breast milk. It is the perfect meal substitute, it worked for my sons and daughter, I am sure it would work for you.
