Does juicing count as fasting?

Taking a look at green juices that exclusively use vegetables and no fruit, 12 oz. will contain at least 8-10 grams of carbohydrates. This level of carbohydrates will break a fast and therefore should be used during the eating window, not the fasting window.

Will your daily green juice or celery juice break your Intermittent Fast? Is it possibly even ruining your results?? Today, I'm breaking down the details of juicing and Intermittent Fasting.

Does Juicing Break a Fast?

If you're following Intermittent Fasting for the purposes of tapping into fat burning mechanisms and achieving a weight loss goal (like in the Complete Intermittent Fasting Bundle protocols ), then the aim is to keep carbs and protein to near 0g during your fasted period. Carbohydrates and protein both stimulate an insulin response and therefore will break a fast and shift the body out of lipolysis (aka fat burning). Taking a look at green juices that exclusively use vegetables and no fruit, 12 oz. will contain at least 8-10 grams of carbohydrates. This level of carbohydrates will break a fast and therefore should be used during the eating window, not the fasting window. If you're adding fruit into your green juice, this can greatly increase the carbohydrate count. For example, a green juice that uses apple contains around 33 grams of carbohydrates, 28 of which comes from sugar. This most certainly will break a fast and spike the storing hormone insulin. If you're juicing while working toward a weight loss goal, it's important to keep your juice free of fruit and only have it during your eating window.

Does Celery Juice Break a Fast?

Because celery juice is so low in sugars and starches, it also is fairly low in carbohydrates, fat and protein. 16 oz. of celery juice (which is typically the amount suggested to drink by Celery Juice advocates) contains roughly 2g protein, 4g net carbohydrates, less than 1g fat and 40 calories. Due to the presence of protein and carbohydrates (although fairly low, still present), Celery Juice may impact your insulin levels and therefore may break your fast. If you are using Intermittent Fasting for religious purposes or if you are following water fasting, then anything that is not water will break your fast.

Does Lemon Juice Break a Fast?

Looking at lemon juice, the devil is in the details. Lemon juice technically contains carbohydrates and therefore can break a fast, but it comes down to the amount of lemon juice that you're using. One full lemon, juiced, contains a little over 3 grams of carbohydrates. This means using one full lemon will break a fast. However, if you drop the amount of lemon juice used to 1/4 of a lemon or less, then this brings the carbohydrates down to less than 1 gram of carbohydrates, making it a good option during the fast.

How long is it safe to juice fast?

Research shows that it is completely safe for healthy people to participate in a juice fast for up to three days and then return to a regular diet.

mindbodygreen.com - Juice Fasting: Benefits, Risks, & How To Do One | mindbodygreen

Juice fasting has many touted benefits that include reducing inflammation, improving sleep, clearing skin, promoting weight loss, ridding the body of toxins, and reducing sugar cravings. But are these juices really worth the hype? Most of these claims are unsubstantiated and anecdotal rather than science-based, but there may be some positives to note from short-term juice fasting. One study1 investigated the effects of a juice fast on health. This study looked at how a three-day fruit and vegetable juice fast affected the gut microbiota, weight loss, and body composition of 20 healthy people. During the fasting period, the subjects drank six 16-ounce bottles of juices that were a mixture of leafy green vegetables, roots, citrus, cayenne, and vanilla almond, totaling around 1,310 calories per day. After the fast, the 20 people could then resume their normal diet for two weeks. The results showed that people lost a significant amount of weight during the juice fast, and that weight loss persisted over the following two weeks (potentially due to changes in their gut microbiota). However, the weight loss may have resulted from lower calorie intake in general rather than from the juice specifically, and beneficial changes in people's gut microbiota may have been due to the overall increase of fruits and vegetables in the diet for those three days. However, this study shows that a juice fast of this composition and calorie count for up to three days is safe and can be somewhat beneficial. But those benefits can't necessarily be fully attributed to the juice itself.
