Fasting with juicy juice. ( Is juice from concentrate okay to fast with?)?

I'm planning on doing a 3 day fast in which I would not eat any solid food and I would only drink water, natural fruit and vegetable juice, and vegetable broth. My question is would juicy juice be okay for the fast, because I was reading that fresh juice is best. Would juicy juice which is from concentrate, be just as good?

I'm not really doing it to lose weight, I read that having a diet low in fat is easy to digest. Which can give you energy because the energy you would use to digest a big meal can go towards something else. So I just wanted to say that, I'm interested in fasting because I would like to see if it could benefit me energy- wise. I work out, so I was thinking I would need some kind of energy to burn. That makes sense, right? Thats the reason for the Juice fast, for the sugar. Otherwise I would try a water fast, but again I'm not really interested in losing weight. Thanks for the answers.

My recommendation would be to avoid the store bought stuff and go with fresh. Do you have a juicer? If not, it's a wonderful investment. See, here's the deal. Fresh fruits and veggies are the best, everyone knows that. When you extract juice from them, all the good stuff starts to break down right away. After a few hours, you're left with empty juice and sugar (even the natural kind). When you juice your own fruits and veggies, you drink it right away so you're getting all the benefits from them. If you're fasting, you definitely need the nutrition they provide. If you're not sure what to juice, lemme tell ya, you can juice every fruit and veggie under the sun! Plus, if you buy a juicer, they include recipe booklets to get you started. You can find them online too. My favorite (here's a preview) is apple, carrot and ginger. Sounds weird but tastes soooo yummy! You take one apple and depending on the type of juicer, you won't have to peel or core it. Juice that, then add about half a medium carrot. Cut a small piece of ginger, maybe about 1/4" or less if you're not used to it, and juice that as well. Make sure it's all blended together with a spoon or something. Add a little water if it's too strong, and bottoms up!

Good luck on your fast!

Edit: If energy is what you're looking for, you need carbs. Complex carbs are the good kind, so you shouldn't avoid them. One example of a complex carb is whole wheat bread, but look for 100% whole wheat on the label. If the 100% is missing, it's not real whole wheat. Here's a little guide to help you:
