Clean calories VS unclean

Weight loss would end up being the same. Initially with a diet composed of fruits and veggies most people notice a large amount of weight loss in the first couple of weeks but it will slow and then the loss would be be become the same. Juicing would make no difference.

With that said...can someone tell me if someone ate only raw veggie and fruits compared to same amount of calories in processed food how does the weight loss compare.

Weight loss is a math equation: if calories in is less than calories burned, your body burns stored fat to make up the deficit. you lose weight. It matters very little where they come from, carrots and green beans, or bacon cheeseburger.

If you ate mostly vegetables and fruit, you still get calories, they're just mostly all carbs, and precious little protein.
You need some meat, or at least beans and legumes.

Okay now compare juiced veggies and fruits to processed food as in weight loss.

Same story. calories are calories. Both are probably very deficient in any fiber content.

People are proponents of 'eating clean' almost entirely because:
1) Raw foods are often not as calorie dense, so 500 calories takes up more room in your stomach than processed foods, making you feel fuller.
2) processed foods have additives that *may or may not* be good for your health in the long run. Processed foods haven't been around long enough for there to be a large amout of definitive research either way.

Edit: I ate 'dirty' every day while losing weight, and still do. I drink beer, and love cheeseburgers, bacon and chocolate. I just made sure that when my body needed 2000 calories a day, I only ate 1750. I had no trouble losing 1 lb/week.

Clean or unclean. Food is food. It's not a big deal what you eat as long as you have a deficit. I've been eating everything I want, within moderate of course, as you can tell from my ticker...it's working.

^^also a good answer

The weight loss will be the same, because....wait for it.......

A calorie is a calorie.

Some food will fill youu p better/keep you full longer, but if you ate a 1500 calorie diet of pizza and wings versus a 1500 calorie diet of chicken breast and broccoli, the weight loss would be the same.

Obviously it would be stupid to try eating nothing but pizza and wings because you'd be starving and would probably feel like crap, but in terms of JUST weight loss, as long as you're eating a deficit it really, truthfully, and honestly does not matter what type of food you eat.

She's on a low calorie juice fast - she is not going to like any of your answers. :noway:

Nevermind.

She's on a low calorie juice fast - she is not going to like any of your answers. :noway:

I knew there would be a idiot abroad to the question.

Well aren't you a delight.

I'm guesing this is what happens when you only have around 1000 cals a day - all of juice. :noway:

But - am I right - do you agree with the answers given?

Not sure what you are looking for here. You asked for simple to the point answers and you are getting them. Almost everyone is saying the exact same thing. A calorie is a calorie.

I'm sorry, but go be what somewhere else???

You received some good answers. Now that we have that out of the way, why aren't you eating? Your calorie intake is extremely low. You can lose weight without starving yourself.
