What Are The Best Juices For Weight Loss?
Juices are an amazing way to get vitamins and minerals into your body. They are tasty, quick to make, and easy to digest.
We recommend using the Amzchef Juicer, but any juicer will do the job well.
When creating juices specifically for weight loss, you need to consider the amount of sugar and fiber in the glass.
Fiber will fill you up, preventing you from snacking throughout the day. Sugar will make you store more water, preventing your weight loss. To get the right balance, ditch the store-bought alternatives and control your diet yourself.
Celery Juice
We are starting strong with the 80s classic – celery juice. Celeries are known for their low-calorie content and their stringy texture. The crunch comes from a strong stem and 95% water.
Celery also has lesser-known (but just as important) mineral contains. They are filled with antioxidants. This is a natural compound found in plants and helps reduce stress as well as inflammation.
This beverage will keep you hydrated, contains very little sugar but also doesn’t contain that much fiber either.
To make the drink, blend 4 stalks of celery, and add in some ginger, cucumber, and lemon juice. Then blitz. If you want more fiber in the juice add green apples too.
Carrot Juice
Carrots are densely packed with nutrients, and they lose none of that intensity when transferred into juice form.
Carrots are rich in vitamin A, fiber, and carotenoids. These are key nutrients for losing weight. This combination of compounds will help you feel fuller faster and help you regulate your appetite.
Carrot juice is known for tackling belly fat first, so it is a great tool for people struggling in that area of their self-confidence.
Beet Juice
Beet juice is known as the athlete’s drink of choice. That’s because beets contain nutrients known to increase muscle endurance and reduce blood pressure.
It does this by dilating your blood vessels creating an easy flow to help reduce your heart rate or give you more room for a stronger workout.
Beets also contain a lot of fiber, which as we know can help you feel full for longer.
Our only issue with beet juice is that it doesn’t contain a lot of nutrients. This means it’s a great juice for workouts, or quench your hunger, but it shouldn’t be used as a whole meal or meal substitute.
Kale And Apple Juice
Kale and apple juices are considered a fun alternative for those who love sugary beverages. To be healthy in your weight loss campaign, you need to avoid unnecessary sugars, so the combination of kale and apple is a perfect balance.
Kale doesn’t contain natural sugar. In fact, it’s been known to help stabilize blood sugar levels after a meal.
Apples, on the other hand, do have natural sugars as well as fiber and other nutrients. By itself, it is a great source of weight loss-friendly food, but combined with kale, the natural sugars will be stabilized in your blood.
This way you will still be digesting a healthy amount of sugar, but the mineral will be digesting healthily instead of turning into fat.
Lemon And Ginger Juice
Lemons are a fantastic source of antioxidants. They also contain a vibrant and refreshing flavor.
Ginger has been known to boost our metabolism and reduce our appetites. Both of these concepts are key to weight loss.
However, ginger can often be overpowering when used in a drink by itself. Unless you have a cold, the intensity of the flavor will likely be too much.
To help reduce that intensity you should mix lemon, ginger, and a green leafy vegetable such as kale or spinach. The leafy green will absorb some of the intense flavors creating a refreshing and slightly spicy beverage.
Pomegranate Juice
Pomegranate juice is a delicious low-calorie drink. It can prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes – feelings that often lead to increased hunger.
It also contained antioxidants and stabilizing minerals to level out your blood sugar levels.
Pomegranate juice doesn’t need to be mixed with any other ingredients. However, we recommend using a sieve to catch the seeds, making pure juice.
Final Thoughts
Most store-bought juices contain added sugar to increase the sweetness to the beverage, as well as extend the shelf life. Making your weight loss drinks at home can help manage your sugar intake while making juices that suit your tastes that day.
Use our suggestions as a launching pad, and continue experimenting with your flavors.
