Juicing for weight loss is all the rage and for all the right reasons. When we say juicing, we don’t mean going on a strict liquid diet. Instead, we want you to add these juices to your daily diet. These juices are healthy, wholesome and aid in weight loss.
Benefits of Juicing
Drinking freshly squeezed juices in your daily meals is an excellent way to load up on antioxidants, fibre, vitamins and minerals. These help rev up your metabolism which helps you burn more calories. Apart from helping you lose weight, these juices also have other health benefits.
Fat Burning Juice Recipes to Try
#1. Cucumber Juice
It’s obvious that you either need to consume less or have foods that contain fewer calories. Since cucumbers have a high water content, they have low calories; making them ideal to add to your daily diet. This juice is rich in fiber and water that helps you feel full for a longer period of time.
To make this juice, you’ll need:
- 2 tbsp fresh mint
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 2 English cucumbers, peeled, ends sliced off and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 6 cups of water
Method:
Add the mint, lemon juice, lemon zest, water and cucumbers in a blender or a processor and blend until smooth. Strain and discard the solids. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
#2. Carrot Juice
Like cucumbers, carrots are low in calories but packed with fibre. A tall glass of carrot juice in the morning will keep you full till lunch. This means the prevention of all unnecessary and unwanted snack cravings. It’s also recommended that the best way to consume carrots is to have them in their raw form. Therefore, juicing them is a great idea. This juice also helps increase bile secretion that helps in burning fats which leads to weight loss. Add ginger and orange to make a detox drink that will help you flush out all the toxins.
To make this juice, you’ll need:
- 1 cup of water
- 3 oranges or 2 lemons or 6 tangerines or 3 pears, washed, peeled and halved
- 1-inch fresh ginger
- 500 g fresh carrots, washed, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
Method:
Soak the carrot pieces in a large pot for half an hour. Add all the ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Strain and discard all the solids. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
