Any juices of smoothies I can make myself to aid weight loss?
I have a tendency to snack but the other day I went to a juice bar and it filled me up so much I didn’t want to eat anymore! On the menu there was a juice that helped weight loss. So does anyone know the ingredients for a juice or smoothie I can make at home that would aid weight loss??? Thanks!!!

go for celery with ginger, few calories and will fill you up.
September 3rd, 2010 at 9:27 am
Stay away from fruit- there is too much sugar and it will make you gain weight- try beetroot or carrot-add ginger to give it some flavour.
Be warned- beetroot goes through you faster than a dodgy curry.
Good luck

Fruit is fine actually.
Beets, have just as much sugar as any other fruit or vegetable. Sugar is in fact, often made from sugar beets.
Lean protein such as fat free yogurt mixed in to your smoothies will help you feel full longer.
The only time you want to avoid fruit, is on an Atkins type of diet. And I really don’t recommend that for long term weight loss.

drink peppermint tea-its great for reducing hunger,so you will eat less,then lose the weight as a result
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:12 am
most fruit juices are simply the water and sugar removed from the fruit. no fibre to slow down the sugar absorbtion. That said, I find that juicing vegetables with a little fruit can be useful. I particularly love 1/4 beetroot with 1/2 apple, 1 stick of celery, a 1cm cube of ginger and 2 carrots.
You can find juice mixes that will fill you up, however, always remember that sugar if not used up will turn into fat to be stored in your body, so be careful with that.
Try to stick with juicing any salads or vegetables. Barley and wheatgrass are great to throw in, as is spirulina. Check the ingredients in the juice that is supposed to help you lose weight. While individually the ingredients may be good for you, as always, too much of a good thing can put the weight on!!

whatever you do either add ginseng or some energy booster
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:48 am
Here are some of the recipes that I use. They are low calorie and taste great. Even the ones that contain dried fruit and nuts are very good for you, just don’t drink these particular ones everyday. Two times per week or at the weekends as a special treat would be fine.
They are all from the Juice Master (Jason Vale)
It may be useful buying some of his books. He has produced a wealth of amazing tasting juices and smoothies.
Hope these help.

The best forms of carbohydrates on the planet are fruits and
vegetables. Many athletes feel they need loads of pasta and

before an event and then again afterwards.

Juice Master’s ‘5 Portions
in a Glass’ Smoothie
We hear all the time that we must have 5 portions of fruits and veg a
day, but how many of us actually get around to having them? I call
this delicious smoothie ‘5 portions in a glass’, but as the official
guidelines stand, no matter how many different combinations of
fruit and veg you have, if it’s in the form of a juice it only ever counts
as one portion. This clearly is nonsense but, hey, the law is the law.
Anyway, if you have just one glass each day you will be getting more
genuine nutrition than most people get in a month.
Juicy Ingredients
2 apples
1⁄4 pineapple
1 inch slice courgette
1⁄2 avocado
1 stick celery
1 inch slice cucumber – diced
1 lime
Juicy Instructions
Juice 11⁄2 of the apples along with the pineapple, celery and
courgette. Dice the rest of the apple and place into blender
along with diced cucumber and ice. Blend until thick and
smooth.
Juicy Tip:
If this is too thick for you, add a little
mineral water and blend again.
Juice Master’s Kids’ Veggie Special
Can’t get your kids to eat their veg? Well, ever thought about
getting them to drink them? This is a way of mixing some highly
nutritious vegetable juices with fruit so that the kids never know
they are drinking live vegetable juice. Just don’t tell them what’s
really in it!
Juicy Ingredients
1 small raw beetroot
2 Apple – Golden Delicious or similar
1⁄4 small pineapple
1 stick celery
1 small handful spinach
1 inch slice cucumber
Ice
Juicy Instructions
Simply juice the lot and pour over ice! The beetroot will
make this juice very red so you can tell the kids it’s some
kind of berry juice – sometimes a little white lie can be for
the good.
Juice Master’s Salad Juice
If the thought of eating salads is a bit much, ever thought of
drinking them? Sounds a bit odd but don’t knock it till you’ve tried!

Make sure you pack the salad leaves into the chute of the

with a masticating juicer, just juice with the machine on.

Better to use veg as fruit has too much natural sugars
