29 year old Angela Stokes chose to take her raw food lifestyle to the next level by completely going on a liquid (fruit and veggie) juice diet for 92 days. Unlike a juice fast, Angela did not deprive her body of calories or nutrients. She simply provided her body with easily digestible nourishment – minus the fiber.
Juicing Fruits and Veggies Eliminates the Fiber
92 days without fiber is quite concerning. Many doctors (holistic and western) agree that fiber is the most important part of our diet. Fiber helps us eliminate waste.
However, as you will see Oprah’s favorite doctor, Doctor Oz, explain: too much fiber can be detrimental.
From www2.oprah.com:
If you radically increase your intake of fiber, though, you may feel gassy. “Your intestinal tract isn’t ready for it,” Dr. Oz says. “The fiber in the bowel is permeated by all these bacteria, the bacteria eat the fiber, and they make gas. That’s their waste product. So you’ve got to slowly build up when you add fiber to your diet. But at the end of the day, you’re going to have some gas. But it’s a good sign because you’re digesting food that’s good for you.
Many People Don’t Consume Enough Fiber
A common diet of cooked foods and refined carbohydrates makes daily toxin elimination almost impossible. So, many of us cannot afford to go 3 months without fiber.
