How to Drink Juice for Fast Weight Loss

Often you hear about juicing and juice diets but not the specifics. From what you read online or see in magazines you would think all you have to do it take your favorite fruits and toss them into a blender and suddenly you will be several pounds thinner. Honestly, that is almost the truth, but there is a bit more to juice fasting than that.

For a juicing diet or juice fast to work you have to drink more than oranges, strawberries and pineapples. Yes, these fruits and others in proper combination can work wonders when it comes to weight loss, detoxification, cleansing the system and improving overall health, but there is more to it than just drinking fruit.

If fruit was the key to weight loss and good health everyone would do it.

While hardly mentioned against a pleasing backdrop of sweet and often enjoyable fruits, some of the most important juices you need to consume on a “juice” fast come from leafy green vegetables. Collard greens, kale, and chards are the backbone of a strong, nutrient rich, system flushing, weight loss geared juice diet. It’s not as tasty sounding as blueberries and pineapples, apples and pears or your favorite fruits. However, the leafy green vegetables are a key component that you need to get your system working to help you lose weight.

Another component often overlooked when it comes to most of the information regarding juicing is the time of day to drink your juices. Of course you can drink throughout the day. However to give yourself the best opportunity to lose weight in the shortest amount of time is to drink your juice first thing when you get up.

This doesn’t mean immediately when you wake up, but soon after. Make juice your breakfast and for weight loss, it should consist primarily of leafy greens. Making juice the first thing your system receives after resting sets your internal environment in motion to burn fuel and to help you lose fat.

Additionally, certain greens, along with wheatgrass and spirulina are alkaline and provide those benefits along with giving you an energy boost.

Hurray for bonus benefits. 🙂

Lastly, you must drink water. Drinking plenty of water along with your juices allows your system properly regulate the sudden overload of nutrients you receive from the liquefied fruits and vegetables. There is no point in blending a whole bag of carrots, gulping it down and releasing it all because your body does not need all of the beta carotene and other nutrients at one time.

By drinking water throughout the day, your body will dispense the veggies you drink in a manner that your body will properly use instead of waste.

Well these are only three steps, but they make a huge difference. So instead of looking for the results from your juice fast, you will be seeing the results from your juice fast. Juicing is fun, nutritious and worth the small effort for the huge weight loss results you get from it.
