I don't understand, you ate nothing but juice and assume that is no sugar? It would be a lot of fructose, which would be glucose after getting through the liver.

Fruit and vegetables contains very little fat or protein (most of them anyway) so were do you think your calories came from? There is only one source left.. carbohydrates

That's wrong. There is very little fructose in vegetable juice. And the liver does not convert fructose into glucose, but in a whole bunch of unhealthy chemicals, including LDL.
