Lose weight and live healthy with juice!

An effective weight loss program is not only about losing a few inches and pounds here and there, but also keeping the body nourished with essential nutrients to keep it healthy and strong. Losing weight after all should not be about starving yourself thin, but developing a healthy lifestyle that will keep your body in tiptop shape.

And here is where juicing fits the bill of a healthy and effective weight loss program. Incorporating healthy juices in your diet will help you reap the benefits of a host of essential vitamins and nutrients found in fruits and vegetables while you say goodbye to unnecessary bulk in your body without dangerously starving yourself thin.

Remember that the science behind weight loss is creating a caloric deficiency by expending more calories than you consume on a daily basis. Sure, strenuous exercise will make you burn more calories, but the best and fastest way to create a calorie deficient lifestyle is to consume fewer calories.

But do not start making yourself hungry just as yet—missing meals or not eating enough food that your body needs to function is counter-productive. Skipping meals or food deprivation will only lower your metabolism, which will make losing and maintaining weight more difficult. The key then is to consume fewer calories by replacing a high-calorie diet with a low-calorie eating regimen, like a diet of fruits and vegetables.

You will put yourself on the winning end of your weight loss diet simply by eating “thermogenic” fruits and vegetables, or those which contain fewer calories compared to the calories you need in order to digest or process them. Examples of these fruits and vegetables are apples, apricots, berries, peaches, pears, asparagus, bell peppers, broccoli, celery and green, leafy vegetables kale, spinach, cabbage and lettuce.

Eating these fruits and vegetables fresh will already make you reap their health and weight loss benefits, but consuming them as a fresh juice and blending them together in your recipes will give you optimum results. When you blend fruits and vegetables together in a juice, you can come up with a potently healthy, filling and tasty drink that has a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers and other health benefits.

Juicing for weight loss is usually done either through fasting or by meal replacement. Juice fasting means you take in nothing else but juices for a whole week or two. While it is a fast and safe way to reduce weight, juice fasting is often not recommended for prolonged periods of time. If you want a more sustainable way to juice, however, meal replacement is your better option. Here, you replace one or two of your full meals—preferably breakfast because this is the optimum time for your body to take in juice—or that occasional heavy snack with juice. By replacing a meal with fresh juice, you can actually do a holistic lifestyle change for a healthier and fitter you now and in the years to come.

This recipe book, 40 Juicing Recipes for Weight Loss, aims to help you start on a diet filled with juice. This book offers a variety of recipes for all-fruit, all-vegetables, fruit and vegetable, and even smoothie juices that are easy to follow and will hopefully encourage you to start—or keep on, if you are already right on track—a healthy and effective way to lose weight.

Before you read any further, make sure that you watch the following video and discover how it’s possible to still eat your favorite foods AND burn more calories at the same time.

It’s really important that you watch this video as it has been proven that those who still eat the foods they love (in a healthy manner) are far more likely to succeed with their weight loss goals.

1 medium pineapple Preparation:

1. Core apples and slice into wedges.

2. Peel the kiwis. Cut into one-inch thick slices.

5. Remove the outer rind of the lemon and lime quarters.

6. Run all ingredients into juicer. Stir or shake before serving.

Variation:

Add ¼ lemon fruit and another ¼ lime into the recipe to make your juice more tangy and citrusy. Remember that adding fresh lemons to your juice will help increase weight loss because the citric acid in lemons helps regulate the body’s metabolism and sugar absorption.

Oranges are packed with virus-fighting Vitamin C, relieve constipation and help inhibit kidney ailments.

Kiwis are rich in antioxidants and strengthen the immune system. Kiwis contain more Vitamin C than oranges, as much potassium as bananas and high levels of appetite-suppressing fibers—truly a weight loss gem!

Variation:

Add a squeeze of lemon in your juice for a tangy and citrusy taste.

Weight loss benefit:

Beets are an excellent source of nutrients and are powerful cleanser of the bladder, kidney and liver. Because beets are high in oxalic acid, it is best to avoid combing beets with calcium rich vegetables such as broccoli. The strong flavor of beets, however, is best combined with celery, lettuce, carrots, and apples.

Celery is high in fiber, low in cholesterol and low in protein—an excellent weight loss vegetable, indeed!

Cucumber + Kale + Spinach

Yield: 1 glass Ingredients:

2 whole small cucumbers

1/2 cup kale

Weight loss benefit:

Called the “queen of vegetables,” kale is a powerhouse of phytonutrients and vitamins A, C and K that are excellent antioxidants. Kale contains more calcium than milk, more iron than beef and ten times more Vitamin C than spinach.

All green vegetables effectively clean the digestive tract and the blood. This green juice will give you much energy as it also cleanses your body.

Asparagus + Coriander + Onion

Yield: 1 glass Ingredients:

1/3 cup asparagus (about 3 medium spears)

1 ½ tablespoons chopped white onion

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 ½ cup distilled water Preparation:

For an added kick, add 4 thin slices of ginger before juicing.

Weight loss benefit:

Asparagus is an alkaline based vegetable which makes it ideal for burning fat. It is low in calories but high in protein, folic acid, beta-carotene and Vitamin C.

Coriander leaves contain a host of nutrients, fiber, carbohydrates, Vitamin C and minerals such as calcium, iron, niacin, potassium, phosphorous, riboflavin, thiamin and oxalic acid.

Variation:

Add 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon of rock salt before juicing for an added kick.

Weight loss benefit:

Carrots are high in polyunsaturated fats or good cholesterol. Carrots are also rich in fiber, which helps speed up the body’s metabolism and prevents it from storing energy as fat.

Watercress is an excellent source of potassium, which serves as a diuretic to draw excess fluid from the body. Because watercress has more sulphur than almost any other vegetable, it is excellent in blood purification, protein absorption, cell building and promoting healthy skin and hair.

When consumed raw, spinach is an excellent source of foliate, manganese and vitamins A and K. Spinach is high in fiber and low in fat, sodium, cholesterol and protein.

Broccoli + Bell Pepper + Carrots

Yield: 1 glass Ingredients:

3 cups broccoli (about 2 stalks)

½ cup chopped green bell pepper (about ½ medium whole)

2 cups carrots (about 4 medium whole) Preparation:

2. Wash bell peppers, remove seeds and chop.

3. Wash carrots, remove tops and cut into 2-inch slices.

4. Juice the broccoli, bell pepper and carrots together. Serve immediately.

Variation:

Carrots are the most versatile vegetable that can be used in making healthy juices. You can combine them with almost any vegetable or fruit and it will still taste good. Try adding a small apple into this recipe to make a sweet concoction.

Weight loss benefit:

Rich in foliate, manganese and vitamins A and K, broccoli is an excellent vegetable for losing weight because it is high in fiber and very low in cholesterol. You can help yourself with almost an unlimited serving of raw broccoli and you will feel satiated without having to gain hard-to-burn calories!

Unknown to many, bell peppers are actually a good source lycopene, beta carotene, potassium and fiber. Bell pepper increases your metabolism, controls your appetite and suppresses your craving for sweets.

Carrots are an excellent source of beta carotene, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, riboflavin and vitamins A and C.

Yield: 1 glass Ingredients: 2 large leaves of cabbage

1 small beet

½ medium cucumber

4 medium carrots Preparation:

2. Roll cabbage leaves tightly into balls.

3. Peel beet and cut into cubes.

4. Cut cucumber into cubes.

5. Peel carrots and slice into chunks.

6. Process all ingredients in a juicer. Drink fresh.

Variation:

Use more cucumber if you want to increase the quantity of your juice. Adding water will do the same trick, but using water-rich cucumber instead will add in more nutrients than water.

Juicing tip:

When using cabbages in a recipe, you will extract more juice from the cabbage if you run it with hard produce like beet.

Weight loss benefit:

Cabbages are extremely high in Vitamin K and manganese. Those on high-fiber, low-fat, lowsodium and low-protein weight loss program will benefit most from incorporating cabbages into their diet.

Fruit and Vegetable Juices

Orange + Parsley

Yield: 1 glass Ingredients:

5 whole oranges

½ cup parsley Preparation:

1. Peel oranges and remove the seeds.

2. Rinse parsley in running water. Leave for a few minutes to dry before chopping.

3. Put oranges and parsley through a juicer. Pour into a chilled glass and drink immediately.

Variation:

For a fancy presentation, form two layers when pouring this juice into a glass by juicing the oranges and the parsley separately. Pour the orange juice first and then slowly pour parsley juice over it. The parsley juice will not mix with the orange juice and keep its place above it in your glass. You can just stir the juice before drinking if you do not enjoy the taste of pure parsley.

Juicing Tip:

When juicing oranges, remember to remove the outer rind but leave as much white skin intact as these are rich in nutrients.

Weight loss benefit:

Herbs such as parsley figure well in a weight loss program because they aid in digesting and absorbing food while providing a low-calorie diet.

2 medium apples

Pear + Celery + Ginger

Yield: 1 glass Ingredients:

½ cup pear slices (or 1 medium fruit)

½ cup diced celery (or 1 large stalk)

1-inch cube of ginger root Preparation:

1. Make sure all ingredients are thoroughly washed before preparing according to measurement indicated.

Banana + Apple + Bitter Melon

Yield: 1 glass Ingredients:

2/3 cup diced apples ½ cup distilled water Preparation:

2. Process all ingredients in juicer. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Variation:

Try adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the recipe to prevent color darkening of banana and apple due to oxidation.

If you still find the juice to be bitter despite the apple in the recipe, add a tablespoon or two of natural honey to sweeten it more.

Weight loss benefit:

Bitter melon aids in digestion and detoxification. It also helps regulate energy and fat storage.

Mango + Banana + Peach + Spinach

Yield: 1 glass Ingredients:

The base ingredient in this juice is banana. Try it with any fruit and vegetable combination—like strawberries, pineapples, kale, Swiss chard or lettuce.

If you want a creamier juice, try using avocados or coconut.

This juice is best taken as your breakfast, so if you are constantly in a rush in the morning, you can prepare this juice in the evening and just put it in the refrigerator. Juices and smoothies will usually remain fresh for 24 hours.

Weight loss benefit:

Aside from potassium, bananas are also rich in fiber, amino acids, manganese and Vitamin B6. It is an excellent fat burning food due to its high content of resistant starch, which helps rid the body of excess fats.

Variation:

Add 2 medium stalks of celery to the recipe to further enhance the taste of beets.

Juicing tip:

When a recipe calls for juicing vegetables and fruits with their peel or skin intact (such as beets and carrots), it is best to use organic produce since they are grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

Weight loss benefit:

This juice is a powerful antioxidant. Although best to take in moderation, beets are good for weight loss because they are low in fat, fight water retention and help your body flush out toxins.

Adding chilies to your juice not only gives a surprising kick but also helps in accelerating your metabolism.

Red leaf lettuce will make your juice deep green in color with a smoother taste compared to bitter alternatives such as kale, spinach and parsley.

When incorporating ginger in your juice, expect to feel a slight “burn” in your body—that’s ginger rousing your blood circulation and jumpstarting your body’s immune system!

Weight loss benefit:

Red leaf lettuce is rich in calcium, folate, iron and vitamins A and K.

Using ginger in your juice will not only give a spicy and citrusy taste; it will also help boost your immune system by shielding your body from viral infections and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. Ginger also stimulates sweating which is important in discharging toxins through the skin.
