3 Amazing Juices for Weight Loss

Let us be clear: We're not advocates of purely liquid diets for weight loss. Most juices are missing fiber and protein—both of which are key to feeling satisfied and dropping pounds. That said, enjoying a juice with a meal or as a snack can help you downsize—particularly if you're sipping on one that contains weight loss-promoting ingredients, like all of the recipes below from The Juice Generation: 100 Recipes for Fresh Juices and Superfood Smoothies.

To maximize the weight-loss benefits, Katie Cavuto, MS, RD, recommends making what she calls "a blender juice," which involves adding all of the ingredients called for in any juice recipe to a blender and adding some water before mixing them together. "Blender juices have the bonus of all that good-for-you fiber that cold-pressed juices are missing," says Cavuto, who also recommends keeping juices vegetable-heavy to keep calorie counts reasonable.
