I've been researching fasts and am thinking about starting soon. There's just one question i can't seem to find an answer to. That is, can i fast (veg&fruit juice and water) while still taking medication? Im currently on birth control and I would much rather continue taking it.
Anyone with some information on this please let me know, thanks.

I don't think the birth control pills will be affected by what you eat.

Why do you call eating vegetables and fruit juice a FAST? Most people refer to it as a vegan diet.

A real fast consists of WATER alone.

I meant veg juice & fruit juice & water. No solid foods. Like i said ive researched it and there is such a thing as juice fasting. You can also alternat between juice and water.
thanks for your answer.

Fasting (or juice fasting) will not interfere with BC pills. Some medications may interfere with BC, though.
As far as fasting goes, it's not a bad idea but should be limited to one day day, no more than once or twice a month. It gives your digestive system a break.
