Juicing removes fiber from nutrient dense food. Make sure to include an appropriate amount of fiber rich food in your daily diet plan. Juicing should be a complement to a well-balanced healthy diet, not a complete substitute.
Make sure to eat whole fruits and veggies or drink smoothies with fiber because juicing has the tendency to remove fiber which is an important nutrient. Fiber helps keep the digestion on a balanced level and fiber keeps your cholesterol in control.
Make sure to add lots of fiber to your smoothies, eat whole fruits and veggies throughout the day in order to stay balanced otherwise you might risk a dietary deficiency.
You will find that your appetite finds raw foods more filling. Cooking foods can cause the loss of up to 97 percent of water soluble vitamins A, E, D and K.
Uncooked and raw foods such as juices do contain more vitamins and nutrients. These nutrients are more satisfying to the body which means that the body's metabolism will keep running efficiently. Consuming these juices will keep your weight loss efforts focused and you are going into the right direction.
Juicing also helps kick start the digestive process of the body and enables a very quick absorption of high quality nutrition which leads to an increased energy level of your body.
If weight loss is your ultimate goal with juicing then you must understand that by applying juicing as a weight loss solution is a very natural way of losing weight.
You must understand the fact that achieving weight loss through improved nutrition like juicing is one of the best benefits of juicing and if weight loss is your goal this fact alone should be very motivational for you. Take advantage of this side effect of juicing. I call this the effortless way of losing weight as opposed to going through some weird and complicated diets that are replacing some bad things that you should not eat anymore. Usually the latest and greatest fad diets tell you to replace the bad stuff with the good stuff but in a very unnatural and extreme way.
A diet in general does not work because it is too demanding, unrealistic and too extreme. I never succeeded in losing weight by following a diet because in the end I gained all the weight that I lost in a very unnatural and suppressing way. Juicing is the only natural way that I know of that gives the body all nutrients that it needs while still being able to lose weight because the weight loss kind of happens as a natural side effect and automatically.
Remember that juicing does remove the fiber so be sure to always include fiber rich food in your daily diet plan that you are following with your juicing for weight loss goals.
In my case, when I lost 40 lbs with juicing and smoothies I did not follow an extreme diet that in my opinion is just a waste of time.
I followed my daily juicing and smoothie ritual and followed a light and healthy fiber rich meal plan without following a particular complicated diet plan that some genius health guru figured out. I had lots of fibers, vegetables, protein like lean chicken and avoided food with fat and sugar. Instead of white bread, I opted for whole wheat, etc. without following any complicated diet plans or formulas that keep tricking the body into believing something that in the end leads to some catastrophic disaster. I consumed just natural, organic and lean food without fat and sugar in order to get enough fiber because the juices do not provide enough fiber.
If you are using juicing to lose weight, you really must understand that juicing should only be a complement to a well- balanced healthy and natural diet, not a substitute because this would again make it an unnatural and extreme process which is why most diets do not work!
As you can see juicing is a very natural process and the opposite of an extreme diet. If you follow these rules, you will soon discover that your body learns to function in a very effective and balanced way that helps you lose weight and keep your weight off effectively while keeping you satisfied;
Once you have achieved a metabolism that balances itself naturally while losing weight in the process and while being able to keep the weight off, you will understand the difference between a lifestyle with juicing which is a very natural process and a diet. By following a diet you have to respect some weird and complicated plan. With juicing you are living a lifestyle that I can call a happy, healthy, natural, balanced, satisfied, clean and lean eating lifestyle.
So as you can see with a little planning and creativity, the process of juicing can enhance your well-being, health and your well balanced diet which in turn helps you lose weight in an automatic and very natural way.
