I would research which greens would be best, and which fruits may work alongside the greens. Technically you are taking in "light" with fresh juice. So there should be a very beneficial displacement happening.
I am theorizing that water fasting was the norm in ancient times because of how hard it would have been to juice. Today we have tech that allows us the juice things we could not before, like wheatgrass. So you can look at today as having the ability to speed up many processes that either were impossible or just took forever to accomplish.
I've fasted many times. I always do a juice fast. It actually detoxifies the body better than doing water alone, plus it's not depleting, energetically.
We did a LOT of juice! Fresh greens (kale, spinach, chard, beet tops, lettuce, parsley, cilantro, dandelion, etc.), carrots, cucumber, broccoli, etc. Also lemon/beet/apple, alternated with greens/veggie juices, is great for liver detox.
