Lorenzo from the city of Tegucigalpa Honduras asked to have the following inquiry answered. He asked do you recommend a long term carrot juice fast? This question is asked often by our readers, and in my opinion I would say no. Carrot juice is extremely high in natural sugar making it a perfect juice for a 24 to 48 hour juice fast, but not for anything longer. I am of course speaking only in regard to totally pure carrot juice, as opposed to carrot juice mixed with other vegetable juices. If you are planning a long term juice fast then it is important to consume many different types of fresh juices so that you get the full vitamin and mineral spectrum that your body requires to stay healthy. You should drink carrot juice during your long term juice fast, however I would highly recommend that you also include other juices into your daily intake that have a far lower glycemic index. Besides the high sugar issue, too much homemade carrot juice can also induce a vitamin A overdose.
