How to Lose Weight With Juicing

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Juicing is the act of combining foods in a juicing machine to extract and drink their juices. A simple example would be to purchase oranges and use a juicer to make orange juice.
Juicing can help you lose weight in a very effective and nutritious way. The best of all is that… juicing allows you to shed some extra pounds while getting rid of toxins. If you want to lose weight with juicing and want to maximize the results follow the steps mentioned below.

Steps

1. Buy a juicer. Look on the net or you can find at any department-type store.
   
2. Before each meal drink a glass of vegetable juice. This helps to cut back your appetite.
   
3. Using dark greens, like spinach, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, celery, asparagus, and cucumber, you can create combinations to increase your vitamin intake. They are great for any weight loss regimen and to detoxify - internal cleansing. The last three vegs are diuretics as well, if you need to lose water weight.
   
4. Add ground hot spices that may help stimulate your metabolism to the juice- cayenne, allspice, pepper, and cinnamon can be great additions. You could also make the juice beforehand and infuse it with whole spices. Be sure to strain it, though, unless you like swallowing peppercorns or the like.
   
5. You might want to try to go veggie! Try not to substitute meat with high-fat, or high calorie foods. Remember that fresh foods have a lot less salt and preservatives, and more vitamins, than canned or even frozen foods.
   
6. Veg Subway Sandwiches on whole grain bread are good for take out if you're away from home at mealtimes.
   

Tips

• Avoid bottled fruit juices (ex: Tropicana, Minute Maid, etc.); they are high in sugar content.
  
• Keep away from coriander and basil, which are herbs that can stimulate your appetite.
  
• Don't drink more than 2 oz. of undiluted green vegetable juice at a time or you will have nasty digestive symptoms
