Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses the topic of juice cleanses, lemon cleanses, and juice fasts. The speaker suggests that these are not necessary and that if you want to fast, a water fast is best. There is evidence that a water fast can be good for you, but people with insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, or diabetes should avoid it because their bodies cannot switch to fat-burning. Juice is essentially pure sugar, which is bad for you during a fast. Instead of a juice cleanse, the speaker recommends a quick start cleanse that feeds you food that nourishes your good gut bugs. Feeding your gut bugs the right things will help take care of your body far better than a juice cleanse.

Summary of Description:
Dr. Gundry discusses cleanses and juice fasts, stating that juice is full of sugar and should be avoided. However, fasting can be beneficial for weight loss as it forces the body to switch to using fat as an energy source. Dr. Gundry recommends 8:16 fasting, where you eat all your calories in an 8-hour window and fast for the remaining 16 hours. This method is easier to follow and has been shown to balance metabolism and result in weight loss. For more information on fasting, visit the official Dr. Gundry Blog.

The Benefits and Risks of Juice Fasts and Cleanses, According to Dr. Gundry
Juice fasts and cleanses have become increasingly popular as a quick way to lose weight and “detox” the body. But what does Dr. Gundry think of these fad diets?
In a recent episode of his Q&A series, Dr. Gundry answers the question: “What’s your take on cleanses and juice fasts?” His answer may surprise you.
Juice Fasts and Cleanses: Why They’re Not Ideal
Dr. Gundry doesn’t recommend juice fasts or cleanses, and for good reason. Juice, even fresh-pressed juice, is full of sugar and lacks the essential fiber that fruit provides. This means you’re consuming a high amount of sugar without the benefit of feeling full, which can lead to overeating and weight gain.
Additionally, many juice fasts and cleanses involve consuming very few calories, which can deprive the body of essential nutrients and potentially lead to muscle loss.
The Benefits of Fasting
That’s not to say that fasting is a bad idea. When you fast, your body is forced to use stored energy, namely body fat. This can lead to weight loss and improved metabolic function.
Clinical trials have shown that intermittent fasting is an effective way to lose weight and promote fat loss. By interrupting the normal feeding cycle, you give your body a chance to properly digest and burn stored fat for energy.
Dr. Gundry’s Preferred Fasting Method
So, if juice fasts and cleanses aren’t the answer, what is? According to Dr. Gundry, his preferred method of fasting is to eat all of his calories during a 2-hour window and fast for the other 22 hours of the day.
While this method may be too extreme for some, Dr. Gundry also recommends 8:16 fasting, which involves eating all of your calories during an 8-hour window, say from 10 am to 6 pm. The rest of the time you fast and only consume water, unsweetened tea, or coffee.
This method is much easier to sustain for most people, as you can still have regular meals and socialize with friends and family.
The Potential Risks of Fasting
While fasting can offer many benefits, it’s important to approach it safely. If you have a history of disordered eating, fasting may not be right for you. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also avoid fasting, as it can deprive the baby of necessary nutrients.
Additionally, if you are on medication or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before starting any kind of fast.
In Conclusion
While juice fasts and cleanses may seem like quick fixes, in reality, they can do more harm than good. Instead, try intermittent fasting as a safe and effective way to improve metabolic function, promote weight loss, and support overall health. And don’t forget to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new diet or fasting regimen.

Dr. Gundry answers helpful questions from his viewers about diet and health. In today’s episode, Dr. Gundry answers the question: “What’s your take on cleanses and juice fasts?”
Juice is full of sugar and is best avoided at all costs! but that doesn’t mean a fast is a bad idea.
When you fast, your body is forced to switch from running on glucose to another source. So, your body starts to convert body fat into fatty acids and then into ketones (chemicals made in your liver) as your new source of energy. This can contribute to weight loss.
In clinical trials, researchers concluded that intermittent fasting was an effective way to lose weight.2 Research also suggests that this intermittent interruption may be the key to balancing metabolism, resulting in greater weight and fat loss.
THE DR. GUNDRY PREFERRED FASTING METHOD
During certain times of the year, Dr. Gundry prefers to eat all of his calories during a 2-hour window and fast for the other 22 hours of the day. For some, this may seem extreme or simply unsustainable.
For a more easily sustained fasting method, Dr. Gundry suggests 8:16 fasting. 8:16 fasting works by eating all of your calories during an 8 hours window, say, 10 am to 6 pm. The rest of the time you will fast and only consume water, or unsweetened tea or coffee.
For most people, this method is much easier to follow. You can have lunch and dinner with your family and friends, for example, and still get in your 16-hour fasting period. So, you might be more likely to stick to this kind of diet.
