Do you think a 3 day juice fast would be beneficial? I have no special juicer or anything, but was looking into drinking Naked Juice since it has no sugar.
Weight-Loss 3 day juice fast?

Why? Beneficial for what?
Any weight you lose in a juice fast will just come back when you start eating solid food again.
If you're looking to "detox" - well, detoxing is a myth. You don't need to starve yourself to remove bad stuff from your body - you just need to stop eating bad stuff.
Honestly, there's no reason to fast outside of spiritual or mental reasons.

I actually avoid fruit juice in favour of the associated fruit.
Most fruit is classed as a free food by people like Slimmers World and on the Weight Watchers "core" diet. That is because both these diets are based on the concept of filling foods (GL glycaemic load which is GI gycaemic index on portion size). Both these diets push people towards opting for a healthy alternative and encourage people to eat until they feel satisfied but no more.
The concept is that if you lined up 10 apples and ate them you would feel pretty full. If you juiced them and drank that you would not feel nearly so full and would have consumed the same amount of calories.
I have never wanted to do a fast. I would just punish myself and am convinced that I would feel no gain.
The only time that I have not eaten for three days was when I had an operation and I certainly didnt lose weight that week.

I've done juice fasts before. Not really worth it in my opinion. You gain the weight right back. But if you need to get into an outfit before the weekend or something it may be something that youd want to give a try. However drinking naked juice for 3 days straight would be INSANELY expensive. Those things are like $3/juice, and you defintely would need more than 1 a day. More like 4-5....
