fast replacing water detox regimens. If a healthy diet and nutrition
program is uppermost on your list of priorities, you will soon
discover that juicing for weight loss is the optimal option. So much
so, that water fasts will hopefully gradually be phased out. However,
don't expect the colorful nutrient-rich juice flowing from a vegetable
juicer to magically melt away the pounds on its own. You will
unfortunately still need to get off that couch and rev up your
metabolism with some form of activity...

While it will be helpful to focus on juicing for natural weight loss,
making juicing for health your aim will soon have the health benefits
stacking up. You need to make a commitment to incorporate juicing
for weight loss into a health style change, a healthy, sensible
nutrition program you can stick to for life, and new thinking patterns.
Do this, and you will soon see a vibrant, svelte, confident, and happy
self in the mirror.
To peel or not to peel
If a peel is edible, such as with carrots or apples, then it is best to
buy organic and to scrub the skin, rather than peeling it. If you would
not eat the peel, such as with pineapples or lemons then remove it
as usual.
The ideal scenario is to buy organic produce as these just needs to
be washed but not peeled. There are many nutrients just below the
peel which may be lost when you peel fruit and vegetables. If you
buy non organic produce then peeling may be the best option.
Alternatively, wash the produce in a solution of water and apple
cider vinegar. To do this, half fill the sink with water, add a cup of
cider vinegar and soak the produce in the water for 15 minutes.
Scrub if necessary and rinse well.
What to juice
Most fruit and vegetables can be juiced. Fruit juices tend to be very
sweet and delicious but should not be taken too regularly as they
can upset blood sugar levels. Vegetable juices are the most
nutritious juice that you can consume! Apples and lemons are the
only fruits that combine well with vegetable juices.
Non juicy fruits like avocadoes, bananas and dates do not produce
enough juice to warrant juicing them. They are, however, great
blended into smoothies or sliced into fruit salads.
Good things to juice include apples, carrots, celery, beetroot,
lettuce, chard, kale, cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, lemons, kohl
rabi, ginger and parsley. Experiment with different combinations.
Carrots and apples add sweetness to a juice so are often good to
use as a base. Celery, tomatoes and cucumbers are useful as they
yield a lot of juice. Green vegetables such as kale and cabbage are
best used in small quantities as they are strong tasting. Ginger is
good for giving the juice a more warming effect and a bit of kick in
terms of flavour.
When to juice
Juicing can be done at any time of day. First thing in the morning is
an ideal time to drink fresh vegetable or fruit juices as they are a
great way to wake up the digestive tract providing hydration and
nourishment. Otherwise, try having a juice after work as an
appetiser 20 minutes before dinner.
Storage of juices
It is best to drink freshly squeezed juices straight away as they may
lose some nutrients and enzymes if you store them. If you do have to
make them in advance, add a squeeze of lemon juice to help prevent
oxidation. Store in a flask in the fridge.

Juicing For Weight Loss Complements Any Healthy Nutrition Plan

The biggest plus of a juicing for weight loss program is that it adds
valuable, bio-available micro-nutrients with a wealth of health
benefits at a minimal calorie cost, with no dietary fat. You will be
downing highly concentrated health cocktails brimming with all the
enzymes, vitamins, and minerals necessary for vitality and a healthy
immune system. This facilitates optimal functioning of all your body
systems.

Consumers are very aware of the side-effects of appetite
suppressants, but often feel that they have no other option. Fresh
vegetable juice acts as a healthy, harmless appetite suppressant
and craving curber, and is therefore without equal in a diet and
nutrition program. By juicing for weight loss, you can opt for a glass
of fresh juice before your main meal, and experience rapidly
diminishing hunger.

Vegetable juice can also play an important role in stabilizing blood
sugar levels, a vital factor in nutrition and good health. The sugar
percentage is much lower than that of fruit juices and the calorie
count is up to 50% less, yet the juice succeeds in satisfying a sweet
tooth every time. This makes juicing for weight loss an absolute
pleasure. Experiment with carrot or a combination of carrot and
parsley juice when a craving hits you, and the juice jolt will give it a
knock-out before you know it! Just don't concentrate too much on
sugar-laden fruits in the process.

Juicing For Weight Loss Doesn't Have To Break The Bank

Juicing for weight loss doesn't necessitate spending a fortune on a
juice extractor. And don't you dare using the 'juicing takes too much
time' excuse!

You can jump-start juicing for weight loss with a relatively
inexpensive centrifugal ejection juice machine, such as the
Nutrisource Juicer or the Breville Juice Fountain 800JE. These
machines are ferocious feeders and will present you with the
goodness of a glass of fresh juice in no time. Your body will relish
the rich nutrient boost that encourages cleansing and healing. This
is truly juicing for health and vivacious vitality.

Juicing for weight loss can be further enhanced by opting for a
masticating juice extractor such as the Omega 8005 juicer, or the
well-known Champion Juicer. These juicers have the potential to
expand your repertoire in the kitchen exponentially, enabling you to
add to juicing for weight loss with a host of other luscious, tempting,
low calorie treats. The options include fresh cereals, fruit sauces,
and yummy frozen desserts. Your family will never even suspect that
you are on a blubber-busting crusade!

Juicing For Weight Loss - Tips For A Trimmed-Down Lifestyle

If you have more than a few pounds to drop, you may want to
consider kick-starting the process with a short juice fast. The
miracle of juice fasting aids detoxification according to the author of
The Fasting Diet, Dr Steven Bailey. While a water fast often drains
energy, juicing for weight loss has the potential to give you an
energy injection. It also gets all the systems clear and functioning
optimally, ensuring that your body is in the best shape to shed the
extra weight.

Variety is the spice of life. This also holds true when juicing for
weight loss. You want to use veggies and fruits of every color,
rotating the different kinds constantly in order to extract a diverse
range of nutrients. By juicing for weight loss, you ensure that your
body still has access to all the calories it needs for vitality and
energy.

If you prefer to start with a balanced, nutrition-rich eating plan, you
will discover that having at least one glass of vegetable juice per
day will make it easier to reach your weight loss goals in the long
run. Fresh juice also becomes an excellent tool in your weight
maintenance endeavor later on.

Once you had a taste of the benefits of juicing for weight loss, you
will probably not be tempted to fall back into 'the old ways'. You will
experience such an enhanced sense of well being, that it will be
easy to maintain the juicing routine.

Juicing for weight loss also supplies your body with the
concentrated nutrients it needs to manage any ailment more
effectively. It also boosts your immune system, and soothes the
digestion. You can easily take care of water retention, by juicing a
delicious combination of celery, cucumber, cranberry, and
watermelon.

Slim-Down Treat Recipe
5 carrots
1 apple
1/2 cucumber
1/2 beet
1 rib celery

Run the vegetables through your juicer in any sequence you wish.
Add a touch of fresh ginger, if you prefer a juice with more bite.

Keep in mind that, before you start a juicing for weight loss program,
it is always safer to consult a health practitioner. This is especially
important if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, nursing or have
any illness.

Taking care of your diet and nutrition needs will give you a new
lease on life. Juicing for weight loss may become a health gift that
will pay huge dividends over time.
How much weight will I lose on a juice fast?
The main benefit offered by a juice fast, to those who wish to lose
weight, is the speed of the weight loss. Initially, weight loss can be
as high as three-to-four pounds per day, but as the fast continues,
the average loss will be one pound-per-day.

To see a person drop 30-to-40 pounds in a 30-day juice fast is to see
a person totally transform his life. Self-esteem is given a boost and
for the first time in their life, discipline becomes a lifestyle. The fast
becomes a catalyst for a total life overhaul. People start dressing
better, showing more confidence, becoming more organized, more
dedicated in relationships and more at peace.

Juice fasting for weight loss and stubborn fat
Trying to stay on a diet can turn a simple journey to the supermarket
into an epic challenge of self-discipline. How can you ignore all the
florescent-lit aisles of junk food offering every temptation known to
the tongue when you are hungry depressed and feeling deprived? It
becomes a war of desires where your willingness to surrender is
quickly rewarded.

In a culture that esteems fashion-model thinness as perfect beauty,
fat is the ugly disease that must be cured. This creates an obsession
with weight-loss that increases the difficulty in losing weight. It is
like trying not to think of a white horse. The more you try not to think
of it the more it comes back into your thoughts.

Obsession, slow metabolism and high-calorie food are a deadly
combination for weight gain. The worst offenders of weight gain are
starches, fats, and refined sugars. Since the biggest part of our diet
is starch in the form of breakfast cereal, cookies, cakes, pies, chips
and bread, it has the greatest impact on weight gain. Starches are
worse than sugar. For a short amount of time, the blood sugar will
peak allowing the body to store the excess sugar as body fat. Starch
is different in that it is a slow release of sugar, which is perfect for
long-distance runners, however, if you are inactive, the
slow-releasing sugars will be turned into body fat. Excess calories
equate to excess fat.

For many, juice fasting is a last ditch effort to lose stubborn fat that
has resisted every attempt at weight reduction. Diets may have
given you a short-lived victory, only to suffer defeat by one
indulgence that escalates into a feeding frenzy resulting in being
heavier than before the diet.

How juice fasting affects addiction to food
My war with food addiction lasted 10 long years. I had been healed
from years of drug abuse, but my battle with addictive behavior was
not over. I desperately wanted control over what I ate, not for weight
loss, as I was thin, due to a very fast metabolism; but binge eating
made me feel like garbage.

Cookies, cakes, ice cream and chocolate were the enemies I loved.
At the saturation point, where I could not stand myself anymore, I
would fast and my body would recover from the damage of the
abuse, but it only deepened the power of my addiction.

After 20 days of juice fasting, I would go on a feeding frenzy
destroying all the benefits of the fast. My resting stomach was
stuffed with the most volatile mixtures of food. Sometimes it took
weeks to recover. After years of blowing fasts, the realization came
that fasting was increasing my compulsiveness.

Fasting had become a drug. I longed for the freedom of the fast, that
amazing feeling of being in total control. Victory tasted sweet but it
never lasted. Over and over I plunged into the pit of hell, blowing
the fast and enduring painful feelings of being a failure, guilt and
feeling out of control.

How the juice fasting diet affects metabolism
The fear is that while juice fasting, the metabolism will slow down
and afterward there will be more weight gained than before the fast.
Initially, any calorie reduction will cause a lowering in the BMR or
base metabolic rate. Cleansing will bring health that will increase
metabolic performance and energy output. In other words, you will
eat less and feel more energetic.

The greatest impact you can have on increasing your resting
metabolism is exercise. After a workout, you can be sitting on the
couch reading while burning calories, as the muscles are grabbing
glucose from the blood to replace glycogen supplies. The key to
weight loss is fewer calories and more exercise. A diet high in raw
food provides fewer, low-density calories, and higher-fiber,
more-filling foods.

How the juice fasting diet affects digestion
After a juice fast, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due
to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted
feces, allowing improved absorption of nutrients. The good news is
that greater efficiency equals enhanced energy. Healthy people burn
more calories. They also eat less because they are more active and
feel better about themselves. They don't need food as a security
blanket.
