Juice Fasting for Weight Loss
Posted on Jan 26, 2010 07:39:46 PM
Juice fasting for weight loss, in my opinion, will become increasingly popular as the detox diet fads begin to fade. Juicing is a very good way of providing the body with a lot of nutrition in a very efficient manner. Since the minerals, vitamins and micro nutrients are not locked up in solid particles it is much easier for the body to absorb these things as it passes through the digestive system. You can also give your digestive tract a break from dealing with all the fiber and other irritants that are constantly being put into your body.
But juicing is not enough if it is not done in a conscious manner. It is easy to consume too much fruit juice; you’ll quickly find that its high sugar content prevents you from losing weight efficiently. You want to focus on high-nutrient, low-sugar vegetable juices. I recommend also adding good quality whey protein into your fresh vegetable juices in order to help you maintain muscle mass. That is a major danger of juice fasting, that is easily overcome by just making sure you get 100 grams of protein each day along with your juice.
Eat More to Weigh Less Quickly

Metabolism, metabolism, metabolism. That’s the mantra you need to repeat over and over when you are thinking about quick weight loss diets. No matter how little you eat, no matter how much you exercise, the truth about weight loss is that it all comes back to your metabolism. How fast are you burning off the food that you eat.
Even that is a misleading assumption, because it presupposes that all food is fuel. This is a fundamental mistake of so many weight loss dieters and even folks who should really know better. Dieticians and nutritionists tend to be especially guilty of this, because their education teaches them about numbers and about risk factors, but many lack the critical thinking to understand that it all comes back to metabolism.
