Real and permanent weight loss often seems to be a goal as hard to achieve as an Olympic medal. But you can enjoy the four benefits of juicing and also shed pounds with these juicing recipies for weight loss.

Drink one to two glasses of juice daily. In this quantity, you will consume the nutrients of about the amount of veggies and fruit that everyone has always recommended. The real advantage of juicing is the concentrated nutrient value, which even the very same commercially bottled juice will have lost due to oxidation and heat. Those are three of four of the juicing benefits — freshness, maximum nutrition, and convenience.

The following recipes show you the fourth juicing benefit: the unending variety available in your home-made juices. Start with this one from the Great Juicing book:

Pineapple-Orange Rapture

4 oranges

2 cups pineapple

1 sweet potato

Process in juicer. Stir. This is very high in vitamins A and C — a great morning drink. Kids love it — just don’t mention all the ingredients. This juice by itself is very sweet, so use it mostly for flavoring other juices with a high vegetable content.

You need to show some moderation with a juicing diet. Trying to lose more than 1/2 pound per week is probably unhealthy. That includes a diet of just juiced fruits and vegetables.

You can start with a juice fast of 1-2 days to clean out your system and help you jump-start a juicing diet for weight loss, although it is not necessary, but do not continue without adequate protein and fats, as well as the carbohydrates the juices do not provide. And do not juice all the veggies you eat. You need plenty of fiber to keep your intestines functioning.

Drinking one to two glasses of juice daily can give you with a great deal of sugar along with the many basic nutrients. Juicing fruit or carrots will give you concentrated sugars. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, be careful with these ingredients. Stick more to the vegetables — not bad advice for any weight loss plan. Except for carrots and sweet potatoes, vegetables are generally low in calories. Use the sweet ones more as condiments to add interest to the other vegetables. Here’s another recipe for further inspiration:

Red Wonder Juice

3 carrots

1 apple, cored

1 cucumber

1 beet

1 stalk of celery

Juice. Include some fresh ginger if you think it needs a bit of a zing.

Experiment with including more vegetables and less of the sweet stuff to further reduce the calories and the effects on your blood sugar.

You will win a gold medal when you apply your own program of juicing for weight loss. No matter how you do it, you will have the juicing benefits of convenience, nutrition, freshness, and variety as well as weight loss. Please mount the award stand now!
