I tell my clients all the time that juicing is not all it's cracked up to be.
- Liquids don't make you feel as full as whole fruits/veggies would.
- You tend to drink far more calories than you would ever eat.
- Cleansing fasts are unnecessary for good health and unhelpful for long-term weight loss.
Sorry! I know I'll catch some hell for this, but I don't like what juice fasts do to a dieter's psyche. The idea is to feel full and satisfied, strong and energized... not hungry and frustrated. Every time I've had a client who loses weight on a juice fast, they always gain it all back, plus a few pounds. And most people get bitchy and unfocused after a few days of liquid only "cleanses".
If you want to eat healthier, eat lots of whole fruits and vegetables. So says me... and this nutritionist. See? I'm not the only juicing-naysayer out there.
