Juicing already has less nutritional value. There’s no fiber in it

@rockfan Why is there less fiber if you use the whole vegetable or fruit? Does it break down? I assume the OP isn’t talking about squeezing an orange. That does lose the huber and full of sugar.

“When you juice, you don’t get the fiber that’s in whole fruits and vegetables. Juicing machines extract the juice and leave behind the pulp, which has fiber.

“So you don’t miss out on the fiber, you can add some of the pulp back into the juice or use it in cooking.” WebMD

You can add it to muffin batter, or to make broth for cooking soup, rice, and pasta.

Hi – I personally have done several extended juice fasts in the past (60 plus days). Based on my experience I am going to say no. It is true you don’t get a much fiber as you need but that can be remedied in other ways. In terms of nutrition in general, I made juice for several days (usually 3 and no more than 4) at a time. During the process of my juice fast (after the initial hump of my body getting used to not chewing on something), I felt great. I never felt hungry or out of energy. I honestly felt better than I ever have in my entire life. So I feel confident in saying that I think making and consuming juice immediately is not that critical.
