The right way to lose weight from juicing

• Juice diet is a good way to get nutrients into the body, however, there are some concerns such as loss of fiber intake as the pulp is often not used while consuming juice. The pulp should not be discarded and can be incorporated into other recipes to ensure the required fiber intake is met.
• Another concern with juicing is that of the lack of protein. One can add protein powder and supplements to the juice to make it nutritious and delicious. Almond milk, yogurt, flax seeds or peanut butter can also be added for the protein punch in the juice.
• Juicing for weight loss should not fall flat by consuming more calories as fruits contain many calories. With veggies, calorie consumption is often less. Hence, it is important to watch the kind of fruit/amount of fruit used in the juice preparation.

• Extreme juice diet without proper diet planning is not good.
