Juice Diet
The juice diet is a juice cleansing aimed at losing weight, eliminating the deficiency of vitamins and trace elements, improving metabolism and removing toxins from the body.
Features of the juice diet
The diet on juices lasts for a week, during which it is necessary to completely exclude from the diet meat food, fried and smoked. It is necessary to switch to a diet, gradually adding a glass of juice to the menu and spending fasting days on fruits and vegetables.
A tomato juice diet, which provides for the daily use of tomatoes and juice from them, is especially useful for cleansing the body and losing weight. Tomatoes are low-calorie vegetables that cleanse the blood and normalize blood pressure. A tomato juice diet, in which it is necessary to drink 1.5-2 liters of juice per day, allows you to lose weight by 3-5 kg without stress for the body.
The diet and type of diet when following a diet on juices must be selected individually, based on the body weight and state of human health. For the diet to be effective, it is necessary to change the usual mode of life and introduce regular exercise in the fresh air.
The most effective are freshly squeezed juices for weight loss, which, if necessary, can be diluted with water and consumed with vegetables and fruits.
In some cases, nutritionists prescribe a strict juice diet, close to fasting, with no other foods added. Such a diet lasts 1-2 days and consists of freshly squeezed juices for weight loss (apple, beetroot, tomato, orange, etc.), which should be drunk 5-7 times a day, 200 ml.
Calorie content of freshly squeezed juices
The calorie content of freshly squeezed juices is quite low and is ideal for vegetarian and diet menus. An exception is grape juice, which contains a large amount of glucose and is contraindicated in diabetes, metabolic disorders and obesity.
A diet on juices with a low calorie content (apple, tomato, beetroot, carrot, etc.) allows not only to reduce weight, but also to eliminate the symptoms of diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, kidney and liver dysfunction.
You can determine how many calories in juice are in accordance with which fruit or vegetable is selected for its preparation. Low-calorie fruits and vegetables include carrots, apples, tomatoes, pomegranates, beets, and celery. The effectiveness and benefits of the drink for weight loss depends on how many calories are in the juice.
Juices for weight loss received good reviews as natural drinks that contain a large amount of vitamins, ascorbic acid and carotene.
To make juice, you need to use ripe fruits, which must be squeezed out with a juicer or chopped with a mixer. The juice should not be stored for more than 4 hours, as it loses useful vitamins and minerals.
Juice diet menus and recipes
The diet menu on juices needs to be varied, and it is also useful to combine different types of fruits and vegetables. Nutritionists recommend making diet cocktails with herbs and healthy herbs.
