Losing fat is having a 3500 calorie deficit for a pound of fat. It's pretty simple. Juicing doesn't doesn't change that. If you are losing "massive" amounts of fat, that has nothing to do with the fact that you are juicing; it just means you are in a very significant calorie deficit.

This has nothing to do with juicing. It isn't a magical potion that makes calories disappear. If anything, it means that you have replaced eating something else with a less caloric option (namely juice). Simple substitutions can be done without juicing.

What makes fruit and vegetables "medicinal" in juice form but not in non-juice form? Shouldn't the fact that you've removed a key part of the fruit and vegetable (namely the fiber) make it less medicinal?
I'm not saying that juicing isn't something that can't be part of a healthy diet. It can be. It just isn't a magic fix any more than any other reduced calorie diet.
