If the Herbert Shelton/ Natural Hygiene advocates are to be believed it is more taxing in the short term to water-fast. It is less taxing to juice fast. And less taxing to eat a healthy diet. The taxing effect is your amount of "Detoxing".

I can not verify detoxing. It lacks a lot of objective scientific credibility right now.

I can tell you I felt terrible right when I woke up, and had occassional mood swings and drops in energy. However, I also had spikes of energy and an overall enjoyable time. In 17 days I lost 25+ pounds and learned about myself.
