Weight Loss Green Juice Recipes
One of the biggest lessons you’ll ever learn when it comes to your health and fitness is the basic importance of vitamins and nutrients. Sometimes it’s easy to get carried away with what not to eat but having a good understanding of this one fact can really impact the calorie burning metabolism of your every day.
There are a number of reasons why this is so important. First off, vitamins and minerals tend to boost your metabolism and help you burn more fat during digestion. Because they help satisfy a number of bodily needs and processes, they also reduce the likelihood of experiencing cravings.
Lastly, a vitamin-rich diet keeps you in a better mood, helping you overcome fatigue and stay motivated to reach your weight loss goals.
How Juicing Can Help
There are some differing opinions out there about juicing, so I’m going to offer a little perspective.
To begin with, juicing should not be thought of as a replacement for eating fruits and vegetables. By only drinking juice, you’re missing a lot of healthy fiber that also boosts weight loss (among many other health benefits – read High Fiber Diets – The Real Truth). You can also inadvertently increase your sugar intake by drinking too much juice.
Where juicing can be especially helpful, is in supplementing your vitamin and mineral intake. By avoiding too much fruit and including lots of green veggies, you can seriously boost your daily vitamin dosage in a serious way. And certain ingredients can have a major impact on your weight loss goals.

Hi buddy,
I just read your blog. Your recipes are very helpful for weight loss. Please tell me What vegetable juices are best for weight loss and apple juice helpful for weight loss?
You really can’t go wrong with any vegetables but generally the rule of thumb is anything that is very colorful like Kale and beets. Apple juice isn’t really helpful in any way, just high in fructose sugar.
