Well it depends, I doubt that a regular juice diet would
make you obese (there isn't enough calories in it), in fact
there's evidence that it would be protective for certain
diseases. Take for example prostate cancer, that has a link
to obesity, but you consume a lot of tomato products then
studies hint that your chances of prostate cancer will be
reduced. Of course in theory anyways, and since you are not
a male, you would benefit from this for prostate cancer.
Heart disease and cancer risk is lowered with consumption of
fresh fruit and veggies.

If I was obese I would consider adding more exercise and
protein to my diet and losing the carbs. If you take
notice to RDA's you will drive yourself mad, besides the
RDA keeps changing.
