Although people often think juicing is a weight loss strategy, it really isn’t. Adding a glass of fresh-squeezed juice to your day is a great way to increase nutrients in your body. But a glass of juice a day isn’t about losing weight; it’s about nutritional supplementation.
Juice cleanses where only juice is consumed for a period of days is a potentially dangerous idea. Most juice cleanses will have you only consuming 600-1000 calories a day which is considered a very restrictive amount. And depending on how long you do it, you could be missing out on certain nutrients needed for your body to function.
If you have watched the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, it is no doubt eye-opening and interesting. Juicing has its place in a healthy diet. I believe in juicing, but it’s not a weight-loss strategy that is easy to execute on your own.
