Juice diets
There are lots of different juice diets around but they are all based on the same idea - that by drinking large amounts of fresh fruit and vegetable juice, you'll detox your system and lose weight at the same time.
Some juice diets are more extreme than others. On one end of the scale, some diets simply encourage you to add juices to your normal diet to boost your vitamin and mineral intake. On the other end of the scale, some people consume nothing but juice for days or even weeks on end. Do not start an extreme juice diet without consulting your doctor first.
How do juice diets work?
Cooking fruit and veg destroys some of its natural goodness but by drinking fresh juice you get maximum goodness from the food.
Investing in a juicer and making your own juices is even better than buying pre-packaged fruit and veg juices as even these have been treated and preservatives added to make them last longer.
Although fruit and veg juices contain natural sugars, they tend to be extremely low in fat so will help you lose weight. There is even some evidence that fresh juice can help fight cancer and other diseases.
