How can I start my vegan juicing and solid vegan diet?

I'm trying to plan this out before I even jump into it because I know vegan juicing alone is dangerous due to the point our body would go into starvation mode by the fourth day. I want to include solid food for vegan as well. I want to do this the safe and smart way in order to clean my body and lose weight at the same time.

Money will not be a problem since I'm saving up enough to start it next year and see where this may go.

So, I'm seeking expertise into this and what's your say in this? I want to cleanse my body naturally and without difficulty. I don't want to go into starvation mode nor near death stage.

If it helps, I'm a vegetarian for the past 8 years now. I have taken more comforts to vegetables and fruits.

That and I'm only doing this temporarily like a week to three weeks at least, after that, go back to being a vegetarian once more.

Thanks! =D

Update:

@Pavouk, I don't believe in having pills/med to be the solution anyway. I quit that years ago when I found my acne pills aren't useful for me and got diagnosed with something that links to acne. I have learned pills either suppress symptoms or only weakens your body. Besides, I believe in the power of food more than anything (with daily exercises).

    Quite frankly if you are experiencing a healthy vegetarian diet then you know the rules and so you are already an expert.

    I assume that you eat milk, cheese and eggs at the moment. All you do is supplement to replace these items.

    So you need some extra calcium, protein and vitamin A.

    Seaweed is an excellent source of usable calcium. Strange flavour but once you're used to it then it's yummy.

    Extra nuts and pulses for the protein but that isn't serious. You have already sorted that out as a vegetarian.

    Vitamin A - carrots, tomatoes.

    There really isn't very much to do. You've done the hard work already replacing the iron, protein and most vitamins that omnivores get from meat. Just do that extra to replace the stuff you are losing. There is no need to use pills and supplements. Let's face it, the idea of going on a healthy diet and then munching a load of pills seems wrong.

    There are some good books on the subject. Check out the public library. The only one I have read - that seemed pretty good - is the "three day energy fast". But the title is misleading (perhaps a marketing ploy). Its more like a 9 or 10 day program. Although if you've done it before, maybe you can cut corners and make it into a 3-day. And its not a technically a fast. In the middle of it your breakfasts are blended fruit and juice, lunch is juiced vegetables, and dinner is vegetable broth.

    Other good sources of calcium are tofu, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, collard greens, calcium-fortified orange juice, and/or calcium-fortified soymilk (or rice milk or almond milk).
