Over the weekend I spent the day at my nieces hair salon in beautiful South Pasadena, a cute little town where the streets are lined with tall trees and window decor lights shining through the mom and pop shops.
Coffee shops brewing their signature blends of yummy coffee, I couldn’t help myself and picked up a cup for myself and my niece.
While sitting in the chair chatting away with my niece, I couldn’t help but overhear two ladies in the next to me, talking about their detailed plan for the evening.
Their conversation was entirely about eating as much candy and junk food at the Halloween parties and after which they would go on a juice diet?
Going on a Juicing “Diet”? Wait one second I thought?
Juicing is not a weight-loss diet. Yes, you can lose a great deal of weight through juicing and faster than you would believe, but not by replacing most or all of your food with juice.
Going on a juice cleanse for a few days or a week can do wonders for your weight loss efforts, but only because it will help reset your metabolism, get your hormones back in line and clean out your digestive system. It is a short-term tool for booth health and getting your body ready to burn some serious fat, but it is short-term.
If you try to lose body fat by consuming nothing but juice or even by getting by on nothing but a ton of juice and a few servings of protein, you’re going to get results that are exactly the opposite of what you’re hoping for.
First, you are to be starving. All of the fiber you’re not getting, all of that chewing you aren’t doing and all of those calories you’re not providing are going to have you running for a loaded pizza within a week of so. Sound familiar?
Any fat you lost in the meantime is going to come right back on, and the truth is that most of the weight you lose will be lean muscle mass and water.
It’s very doubtful that you will be getting enough protein on a juice “diet”, so your body will very quickly begin catabolizing (cannibalizing, really) the protein in your muscles. What you will end up with by the time you fall of this diet is fatigue, malnourishment and a lot less muscle.
All of things that juicing does as a supplement to your diet are going to help you lose body fat. Your digestive system will start working correctly. Your hormone levels, especially cortisol, insulin and testosterone, will be corrected. You immune system will get a huge boost, reducing inflammation.
You will have an incredible amount of energy, which means you will work out better, longer and more consistently.
You don’t need to go on a juice “diet”, you just need to juice.
After several years of juicing, I can say it’s one of the most powerful, effective and pleasant things that you can do for yourself for over-all health. But you have to use juicing in the right way…
