I did this and it was amazing. I felt refreshed, renewed and plan to juice fast once a week for the rest of my life. I was so glad I stumbled on this, after vacationing with relatives for a week I did the fast for 5 days and loved it. It's amazing to see how many people are so afraid to walk away from eating processed food, Cargill meat and Tyson Chicken, feel and look like crap but won't give juicing a try.
I maintain an extremely healthy lifestyle focusing completely on a micro-nutrient focused diet, and I used a 60 day juice fast to get where I am. Maintaining my weight loss (for two years so far) has been easy, and at my last physical, my physician said all of my test results reflected those of an 18 year old. (I'm 41)
I do eat raw fish a couple of times a week, and will occasionally splurge on a good piece of red meat or a great chicken dish.
He advocates a diet which, if not done right, will result in nutritional deficiencies and an early death. Even if done "right" it may result in deficiencies, because we just don't know enough about human nutrition over the long term.

"Poor Joe Cross" because he's probably already suffering the effects of protein deficiency and he may not even know it because those symptoms show up gradually over time. Fuhrmann claims his diet is the "nutrient rich" way to eat, but doesn't acknowledge any of the important nutrients in meat. One of those nutrients that you can only get naturally from meat is vitamin B12. According to Harvard Medical School, "a severe vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to deep depression, paranoia and delusions, memory loss, incontinence, loss of taste and smell, and more ... Strict vegetarians and vegans are at high risk for developing a B12 deficiency."

"Poor Joe Cross?" I think he would be to differ.
"Poor Joe Cross" because I feel bad for anyone following Dr. Joel Fuhrman's advice
