    If you want to do a juice fast you are going to need to either buy a blender & fruit/veg or hope that there is a juice bar near by because most store bought juices contain sugar/additives (some may be healthier than others but you can't beat the real thing, especially if this is the only thing you are going to be putting into your body for x amount of time). Also, the most common ingredients in store bought juice are citrus fruits-which are often avoided when juice fasting due to the fact that are very acidic & can easily cause reactions in ppl i.e. rashes

    Yeah I definitely agree that you shouldn't really do this juice diet/detox with store-bought juices. The point of the detox is to only put pure veggies and fruit into your body and the best way of doing that is by making the juice at home yourself. My advice is to pick one day to make a LOT of juice and just stock your fridge with water bottles, cups, or whatever with different types of juice you make (find recipes online!). Then everyday after that all you have to do is grab one from your fridge throughout the day and your good to go!

    If your diet has been not-so-good lately a juice fast may be 1) extreme, and 2) ineffective if done with pasteurized or store bought juices.

    I would reccommend investing about $30 into a hand blender and blending fruit and greens. That way you're still gonna detox A LOT, the fiber is sweeping the toxins out instead of them just getting swept up and reabsorbed, there's not a huge mess, it's super fast, you will have energy, and you won't mess up your metabolism! After living in montreal for a few months and packing on some winter weight (I was freezing) I did this my first week back in California and lost 6 pounds...back down to my pre-Canada weight in one week and was never hungry. ^_^ But I did feel typical detox symptoms which can be rough.

    Google "Kimberly Snyder green smoothie" and "Ann Wigmore energy soup"

    A juice fast with store bought juices won't get the fiber in, but ok. I'd recommend anything that's 100% juice or perhaps vitamin fortified. Trader Joes has some good ones but I don't know how good they'd be for ten days (why???)

    Your best bet, if you have to buy juices, are naked or odwalla brands. Really, it just isn't the same once you've done a fresh fruit and veggie fast. Honestly, a stick blender doesn't take hardly any time at all. Like- if you can sit down and eat a bowl of cereal, you have the time. You just rinse off the part you blend with and that's it. For god's sake, don't fast with v8. Health is our greatest gift and wealth. (v8 is fine occasionally, i'm just saying don't base a fast on it.)

    natural juices! my motto for food, if it comes from a jar, can or heavily packaged it can't be good for you. also if you're doing a detox be careful to choose the proper fruits as some have high glycemic level which isn't that good for fat loss. also most of the weight you will loose will probably be water weight.

    A great blender recipe: strawberries, one egg, milk, wheatgerm, orange juice and some yogurt - yummy and you get your protein fix from the egg!
