Controlling your diet is arguably the most important aspect of a weight-loss routine, especially if you want to lose weight fast and quick.
Some have turned to slow juicing for its low-calorie, fat-burning, and high-nutritional content, a food trend that is starting to pick up in Singapore.
However, with so much information out there, including contradictory opinions and misinformation, it is easy to be misled and confused.
Hence, we have compiled a list of the key properties that an effective weight loss juice recipe should contain, so that you are well-informed to access the effectiveness of new juice recipes that you might come across in the future.
1. Contains loads of Vitamin C
The first key property of an effective weight loss juice recipe is that it contains a good amount of Vitamin C.
This is because Vitamin C increases the metabolism in your body, which helps you burn calories and the extra fats in your body faster.
Plus, Vitamin C is linked to boosting your immune system. With the ongoing pandemic, this immune-boosting function of Vitamin C is more important than ever.
2. Contains plenty of Fibre
Drinking a juice recipe with high soluble fibre content helps you to feel full for longer. This suppresses your appetite and reduces your calorie intake, which in turn helps you to lose weight.
With less calorie intake, your body starts to power itself by converting the stored fat into energy, which increases your metabolism rate and burns fat away.
A good fibre intake is also an important property for detox juice recipes, as it facilitates the removal of toxins from the body.
3. Provides a rich source of protein
Protein is an important nutrient not just for losing weight, but also for a better-looking body.
Proteins take a longer time to digest as compared to carbohydrates, which reduces your appetite as you would feel full for longer. As such, proteins function to increase your metabolism as well.
With increased metabolism, your body burns off some muscle tissues for energy as well. Hence, protein is much needed to repair the lost muscle tissues.
Proteins are often associated with meat, but there are plenty of fruits and vegetables that contain lots of protein too. This includes avocados, peaches, spinach, cabbages, grapefruit, and more.
4. Low in carbohydrates
An essential property of an effective weight loss juice recipe is that it is low in carbohydrates. Low carb diets are tried and tested for quick and effective weight loss, and for good reason.
This is because a low carb recipe reduces your intake of sugars and starches, which are high in calories and induces increased appetite.
Furthermore, a low-carb juice recipe reduces your risk of diabetes and all its harmful side effects.
5. Meets the Daily Nutritional Value
An effective weight loss should not only have the properties listed above, but they should also supplement the essential nutrients that your body needs.
This includes nutrients that keep your body healthy and strong, such as Vitamin A, Vitamin K, potassium, and folate, which fruits and vegetables contain in abundance.
