DENVER Kick-start a healthy diet, cleanse your system, and lose weight. Those are the claims that have a lot of people turning to juice fasts.

They involve drinking nothing but vegetable juice for anywhere from three to 90 days.

Youre taking an enormous amount of fruits and vegetables, pounds of them, and taking the fiber out, explains Dr. Connie Sanchez, a naturopath who often recommends juice fasts to her patients. It goes to all the tissues, all the cells, you absorb it very, very quickly and its really about giving nutrition, superior nutrition, to all the cells.

That nutrition boost sounded exactly like what Westminster mom Stacy Golden needed.

I would have this low energy, she said. And I just thought, Im really too young to be having these issues.

So with help from her doctor, Golden embarked on a juice fast. She created her own cocktails, juicing vegetables like chard, spinach, and kale with pineapples and apples. For 21 days she drank nothing but that juice.

The results:

My hair stopped falling out. Ive resolved the digestion issues that Ive had for many, many years, and the energy is justIm up a couple of hours every night after the kids go to bed just doing stuff, Golden told us.

The outcomes are enticing, but Dr. Jeffry Gerber, a family physician who focuses on healthy weight loss, said juicing does have some risks.
