Juicing and Weight Loss

While some people use juice fasts to lose weight fast, you don’t have to go so extreme (see why fasting can be dangerous for women).

In fact, if you just swapped sugar-sweetened beverages with a homemade vegetable juice, you would already be making huge strides for both your health and your weight loss efforts.

Homemade vegetable juices aid fat loss in several ways.

First, most homemade green juices are low in calories. This is because the fruits are kept to a minimum which reduces the natural sugars in the juices.

Homemade green juices are hydrating, high in nutrients, and can help satisfy a sugar craving (see all my tips for doing a sugar detox diet).

As mentioned above, vegetable juices when made at home are much lower in calories than other types of drinks, especially sodas or other drinks that have added sugars.

Another way that green juices can aid in weight loss is by replenishing your body with electrolytes and other nutrients.

If you include at least one vegetable-rich juice in your diet a day, then you’ll be getting vitamin C, vitamin K, some fiber, potassium, antioxidants, and more. Green juices have no fat.

Equipment Needed

If you’re getting started with juicing, it’s best to consider your options when it comes to equipment.

Most juicing veterans would urge you to get an expensive juicer, but they can run upwards of several hundreds of dollars! The benefit of having a nice juicer is that it can save you time and money.

Masticating juicers are ideal for people who juice since they are easy to use, easy to clean, and they extract the most juice out of your vegetables. To learn more about juicer options, be sure to check out my articles on the best Omega Juicers and the best Breville Juicers.

Additionally, you might consider using a blender to make juice. I have other articles on the Best Juicer Blenders and How to Juice with a Vitamix.

Juicing for Weight Loss FAQs

What is the best juice for weight loss?

There are tons of juice recipes that can aid in your weight loss efforts. Try picking a recipe that includes several green vegetables like celery, cucumber, or parsley, and does not include a lot of fruit. Green juices without fruit are generally low in calories and natural sugars.

Do I need to do a juice fast to lose weight?

I generally do not recommend juice fasts, as you’ll most likely just lose water weight. For more long-term weight loss success, try drinking one green juice a day instead of any sugary beverages. See my related article on healthy weight loss tips for women.
