In regards to eating meat

[Tenet Nosce]

Most practitioners I know of, who recommended juice fasts, also included fiber powder (such as psyllium) in the protocol. I've done dozens of juice fasts and always included fiber to keep the action going.

Kudos to them! You know, we used to think about fiber in terms of simply adding bulk, but we now also know that fiber is food for all those trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. We definitely want to keep those guys alive! Did you know that 90% of the cells found in association with the human body are not human cells?! This is an incredible exciting field of research that is only just now beginning to manifest itself. Already we have found that people can be classified into three distinct gut enterotypes (kind of sounds like a throwback to Ayurveda) that affect the way they metabolize food and drugs, and can even go so far as to affect one's brain chemistry? Wild!

Except sometimes, dysbiosis takes over in the gut and then we might have to try to starve certain ones out. I think if somebody with a severe dysbiosis tried a juice fast, they might unintentionally cause some harm, since they are putting sugar into the gut without any fiber.
