I did a week long "juice fast" a few months back after my mom convinced me to give it a try (she had just finished a 40 day fast herself). I started cheating on the fast after 3 days. The juice tasted fine, I just missed chewing on my meals.

There's just something about chewing one's food that is necessary. Only drinking my meals was just...wrong! I don't know how to describe it other than that. After all, why would we have teeth if we weren't meant to chew our sustenance.
