Juice Fasting and Weight Loss

Fasting helps to detox the body, to improve the metabolism and kick start the weight loss process. The best way to fast is to drink water only for one full day. Make sure you drink only pure, filtered water.

However for many people it is very hard not to eat for one full day. In order to receive most of the benefits of fasting without its side effects such as general weakness, low energy, slow brain functioning, you can try juice fasting.

While on juice fasting you need to drink 3-4 glasses of freshly made vegetable or fruit juices. You will also need to drink 8-10 glasses of water in between. Try not to mix fruits with vegetables while making juices. This can affect the digestion, cause fermentation and result in bloating.

To improve digestion you can add ginger to your vegetable juices, for example. Adding garlic will improve the functioning of the immune system; spirulina or other sources of chlorophyll will provide with important vitamins and minerals. Do not add garlic if your stomach is sensitive.

Experiment with different vegetables to find the taste that you like. You don't have to mix different vegetables: you can also juice one vegetable on its one. Some vegetables like beats have strong detox effects and are better to be mixed with other vegetables, carrots, for example.

Here are some juice ideas:

-Carrots with spinach; carrots - beats - parsley;
