I got downvoted heavily last time I mentioned this on HN, but I have done 90 days on fresh vegetable juice several times in my life, and it feels amazing. I've gotten several 60+ year old people to try it, including my father, and all achieve great weight loss (30-45 lbs). One 63 year old male even had blood work done before and after, and even though he lived on only vegetable and fruit juice for 90 days, basically ALL his metrics improved. Even glucose and A1C improved, which shocked his doctor since he was living on basically only sugar for 90 days.
You most likely got downvoted because you are advocating for a long-term juice cleanse, which is widely regarded as unhealthy and potentially dangerous [0]. The benefits you claim are not scientifically supported, and the lack of protein almost certainly means that most of the weight loss your unfortunate companions experienced was muscle loss. I would discourage anyone reading this comment chain from following the advice above for any meaningful period of time.
Think about how foolish you'd have to be to think a fat guy lost 45 lbs of muscle in 90 days lol.
Definitely, keep listening to the nonsense 'science' that has caused the unhealthiest population in the history of the world. Don't forget to lay off the eggs and salt!
I tried something similar to fix my stomach / immune system health ailments but I gained weight and I was hungry all the time. This was after being 95% vegetarian for ~10 years (which I blame for my progressively worse issues).
Ultimately I went carnivore and I've been carnivore for 1.5 year, my weight went down to the one I had when I was 20, I eat once a day and I'm less tired after sleeping too little.
I also know that people who copied the diet of Freelee (the banana girl) had horrible results all around.
I find it hard to believe that people would lie about their experience (what would they gain from it?). I wonder if there is some genetic trait which predisposes towards needing a drastically different diet to achieve good results.
Well, there is a big difference between eating bananas or whatever else, and drinking a gallon or more of juice a day. It's very hard for most people to eat 10-12 lbs of vegetables a day, but juice them and drinking the 7-8 lbs of juice isn't that hard.

I find it incredibly fascinating.
