    Do you intend to juice as a part of your diet or BE your diet?

    weight loss= eat less calories than you burn

    Adding juice is okay. Living off juice is not.

    juicing as a diet i dont think is good. but to be apart of it is ok....i know people who juice just in the mornings but the rest of the day is just normal foods(whatever is normal for them)

    Drinking juice doesn't cause weight loss. Calorie deficit does. Being healthier involves a lot of things. Besides weight, there is also, sleep, lower stress, physical fitness, risk behavior (smoking, drugs, etc), environment, genetics, and mental health to address.

    i would have smoothies instead, as juicing often gets rid of the fiber, vitamins, and other nutrients in the fruit.

    Juicing is okay if you just want to have it with light meal or just a drink during the day instead of soda. But juicing for frequent meal supplementation (also known as juice fasting or juicing) is really not necessary.

    I juice almost every day for dinner because my calorie intake during the day time is higher but I also have a few servings of fruits with it.

    Ah juicing doesn't necessarily cause weight loss. Calories in VS Calories out. If your juicing consists of 5 servings of fruit and veggies, It could be a high calorie drink in addition to your other foods.

    Plus it's a pain in the *kitten*. Why not just watch calories of foods you enjoy eating and keep THOSE under a calories goal. That's a way to stay on track.

    Besides what everyone else mentioned, I'll add that juicing can be very expensive. You don't yield a lot of juice for the amount of fruit you put in the juicer. Making smoothies in the blender would be more economical.

    I have been juicing again lately and we really enjoy it. I like to juice carrot and apple lemon and add chia seeds. My kids love it and so does my husband. We add to our breakfast. I use all my carrot and apple juice pulp in muffins and soups and meatloaf etc. I say go for it! It seems like everyone on this board likes to bash down peoples ideas if they are not the main stream.... I think all things in moderation!
