I know that skipping meals is bad but is it okay to just drink "fresh juice" for snack (am or pm) and not take/eat anything solid like real fruits? i don't want to end up having ulcer. Is drinking liquid enough? because i know that when you don't eat enough, metabolism will get slower.

I think you should at least have a piece of fruit. Liquids won't be enough. It isn't just ulcers you have to worry about, that also causes gallbladder problems if you're skipping meals.

no, you should eat. juice is not a meal.
Have a piece of fruit as opposed to a glass of juice. It's a heck of a lot healthier; having less sugar (they do still add sugar to some fruit juices), no preservatives, less acid and actually containing real fibre. And hey, you're even exercising your jaw when you eat!
Digesting a piece of fruit can also help cleanse the bowels, whereas juice does next to nothing at all.
Having a glass of juice between your meals is fine, but for godsake, have at least two good solid meals a day, and try to aim for a light healthy dinner as well.
Crash diets are not what the human bowel was built for. It processes food far too quickly for you to not feed it properly.
It is more effective and healthy to have a proper meal and do some exercise, than to starve your system.

It's alright to have a liquid snack as long as you are eating proper meals. But eating solids is not going to cause an ulcer. Ulcers are caused by a virus. I have had ulcers and mine were just cured by medication and proper eating habits (spices etc. will aggravate them for example) but they were not caused by eating solid foods, so don't worry and let that keep you from eating fresh fruits (by the way my doctor told me to eat cooked fruits because I couldn't digest them properly, but not because of ulcers).

Juice is nothing but a huge glass of sugar. Eat a piece of fruit instead of drinking the glass of juice, you'll get less sugar and get the benefit of having fiber as well.

No it is a horrible diet. Plus you stop eating while on the diet, your metabolism slows down. You get off the diet and your metabolism will speed up. You will just put the weight back on with a diet like that.

Have whole fruits rather than just juices coz the whole fruit, actually including the peel, contains valuable vitamins and minerals! Have more than 2 fruits a day to make a glam skin and healthy body. (Just noted down everything my mom tells me daily)

I think you should eat a few piece of fruits or salads or other veggie to keep you healthy. Drinking juicy is not enough for diet.Take care

You should eat at least if possible every 4-5 hours. Having a fruit smoothie would be fine though!!

you really should eat fresh fruit because diet or not juice has carbs and sugar which are bad for you if you are dieting and fresh fruit has nothing except all natural taste

It's fine, but it really won't fill you up and you'll be more tempted to eat. Whenever I have dieted I've always heard to "eat your calories". That is, eat a small snack with the same amount of calories and you'll feel fuller.
