5 Juices for Quick Weight Loss

Juicing for weight loss is not a new concept, it’s been doing the rounds for a while. We’re by no means saying go on a strictly liquid diet, but rather suggesting that you add certain fresh juices to your daily meals that can help speed up weight loss.

Drinking fresh juices is also a great way to boost your system with a variety of minerals, vitamins, fibre and antioxidants – all of which aid in revving up your metabolism and thus, you are able to burn more calories. These juices not only help you lose weight but they also offer a host of other health benefits. Have a look.

1. Carrot Juice

Carrots juice is great for weight loss as carrots are low in calories and full of fibre. A tall glass of carrot juice will keep you full until lunch, so you don’t have to worry about unwanted snack attacks. It had also been recommended that the best way to have carrots is in its raw form. Therefore, juicing it up could be a great idea. Carrot juice is also known to increase bile secretion which helps in burning fat thus aiding weight loss. Add an apple, half an orange and some ginger to make a wonderful detox drink that will flush out all the toxins.

2. Karela Juice

It may not sound palatable to juice but the bitter gourd, but the truth is that it really helps in losing weight. Drinking karela juice regularly stimulates the liver to secrete bile acids which are required for metabolising the fat. Moreover, karela is very low in calories. A 100 gram serving of bitter gourds contains just 17 calories!

3. Cucumber Juice

Foods that have high water content are low in calories. It is easy to understand that in order to lose weight you need to either eat fewer calories or burn more calories. Therefore, it’s a good idea to reserve a part of your meals for foods that not only low in calories but also keep you full for longer. Due to its high water and fibre content, cucumber juice fills you up easily and so, it can be a great meal filler. You can also squeeze some lime juice and add a few mint leaves to make a refreshing summer drink.

4. Amla Juice

It’s great to start off your day with a glass of amla juice. It helps in keeping your digestive system on track throughout the day and accelerates your metabolism. A faster metabolism helps in burning fat quickly.  For better weight management, it is often suggested to drink amla juice on an empty stomach. Add a drop of honey as a form of natural sugar that will keep you active and energetic throughout the day.

5. Pomegranate Juice 

Pomegranate juice is great for your skin and to get back your natural glow, but it may also help in weight loss.
