Three Key Things You Need To Know Before Starting A Weight Loss Juice Cleanse

One of the things you may have heard about in terms of juice cleansing is how it can aid weight loss.

Some of the things you will have read are negative. People raise concerns about instigating weight loss through a dramatic process such as juice cleansing.

Replacing food with juiced raw food and excluding some food groups can cause problems in some people, especially if they dive straight into it too heavily.

When it comes to undertaking a juice cleanse to cleanse your body and lose weight, you need to be sensible and not do too much too soon. Here are the three key things you need to consider before undertaking a juice cleanse.

1. If your juicing purely to lose weight…

Then you should only use it to kickstart your diet. Using a juice only diet without addressing underlying food issues will mean you just put the weight straight back on when you start eating again.

In addition, switching straight from your normal diet into a juice cleanse and then back again after a couple of days can throw your body out of rhythm, leaving you tired and incredibly hungry.

You should be looking to undertake a juice cleanse that lasts a maximum of three days, and use the week before and the week after to transition from bad foods to a healthy diet.

2. Focus on getting nutrition

Fruit and vegetable juices are packed full of concentrated nutrition, so make sure you get the balance right by researching the juices you will buy or make.

You should also think about how much juice you are going to drink in a day. There really is no limit, other than how much you can physically cope with. But it’s better to plan to create, or buy, more juice than you think you will use, in case you get caught out. As soon as you get caught out, you could dive straight into eating bad foods.

If you are creating your own juice blends, and you are feeling ravenously hungry, there is no harm in juicing the whole fruit or vegetables to include a bit of fiber. Fiber will stop you feeling as hungry, so if you are really struggling you can choose to bulk up your juice.

3. Make sure your expectations are realistic

A juice cleanse is not a miracle cure for your body or your mind. It’s important to remember that before, during and after your juice cleanse.

You need to make sure that your cleanse is undertaken in conjunction with making positive changes to your diet and lifestyle.

You can lose significant weight with a juice cleanse, but it needs to be managed process, not something you dive into to get the weight off and give you just a short-term fix.
