Juicing for Weight Loss: Does it Really Work?

Juice is fashionable at the time. Diet and exercise are doped with wild concoctions of vegetables, fruits and supplements, then blend in the survey healthy drinks. But are they really healthy? E juice really effective for losing weight?

Part of the reason depends on why you drink your fruits and vegetables. And part of the answer depends on how the juice drinks are included in your overall diet. Overall, I really step and I'll explain why.

Why do you drink juice?

If the juice bar hoping to provide healthy vitamins, minerals and antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables and then it is very likely that you get what you pay you get. Blueberries, for example, are rich in vitamin C. Mango has a lot of vitamin B6 and vitamin A. It looks like a good right company? If the spinach is added to your drink, you also get iron, niacin, riboflavin, and a number of other healthy nutrients. Now, it looks great, right? Well, it's a good deal if you do not eat fruits or vegetables at all part of your regular diet.

Juice - Why I miss the Fad

So why should deprive a healthy mix of vitamins and minerals? Why I love the food, that's why. At least, that is the main reason for me. Drinking fruit juice can contain hundreds of calories. If I'm going to eat a few hundred calories, I enjoy every. I do not want to sip through a straw. I want to see my food on a tray, season the way I prefer, cut, chew and take the time to savor and enjoy it. Eating is an enjoyable and satisfying experience for me. Juice disappoint this experience.

If you're on a diet, you may need to enjoy the sensory experience of food. For many people, dieting is stressful. Losing weight may mean you have to give up some of your favorite foods and eat less than you normally would. While denying the positive sensory experiences that occur during meals, you can easily change the stress scales too far in the wrong direction and end up giving up your diet completely.

Other disadvantages of Juicing

But even if the sensory experience of food is not important to you, there are other reasons to believe that juicing for weight loss is right for you.

• Excess sugar: Depending on how you made your drink fruit juice can contain abnormally high levels of sugar. Even if you do not add extra sugar, most sweet fruits contain high levels of fructose. By separating fructose from fibers (found in the flesh of the fruit), sugar is digested very quickly. You could become hungry and eat later.


• Calories: It is easy to think that you consume fewer calories in a glass, as you would on a plateau, but the juice calories can skyrocket when masses of things is thrown into a car. If drinking juice replaces a meal, then it is reasonable to consume 400-500 calories in liquid form. But for many people, the drink is a complement to your meals and snacks. If you are trying to lose weight, calories can be a problem.


• Fruit and vegetables grains are better for you. Methods of whole fruits and vegetables are good for you and juice it may mean that you will eat less of them. When you eat fruits and vegetables as a whole, fiber and texture of the food is obtained. And because fruits and vegetables usually require more time to eat, you may end up consuming fewer calories in one sitting.

The fact that I did not jump on board the trend of juice, does not mean you should stop if you like juice for weight loss. But, as with anything you put in your mouth, you should know what you eat and why. Make sure you know the content of nutrients, including total calories and grams of sugar, before deciding whether the glass of fruit juice is healthy.
