Can a skinny person go on a juice-only fast?
Most literature out there seems to say 'yes', although I ran across a few that say 'no', especially if one has anemia or eating disorders.
For the studies that say 'yes', it is counterintuitive and surprising to read that a thin person can actually gain weight after a fast!
I have several contacts in Raw Food in the Philippines (most were overweight and one who was skinny) who have gone through juice-only fasts and came out healthier in the end. Very interesting eh? :)
I am going to a do a juice-only fast for a week beginning tomorrow. I am 5'1 1/2, 104 lbs. Skinny :) I'll let you know how it goes :)
For exercise, I will stop going to the gym and badminton courts and just take walks and do simple stretches for my back.
I know at least three other people doing the same thing and we will check in with each other daily.

Here are a few before pics:
No running...
No badminton, no gym... (sniff, sniff)
No late night socializing...
