Is green juice good for weight loss?

I'm trying to lose some weight after my pregnancy, and my friend suggested having green juice daily. Is it really effective for weight loss, or is it just another fad?

Look, green juice won't magically melt your fat away. It's good for vitamins, but honestly, eating whole vegetables is much better because you get the fiber. If you just drink juice, you'll feel hungry again in half an hour and end up eating more.

While green juice can be a nutrient-dense addition to your diet, it is not a shortcut to weight loss. Juicing removes essential dietary fiber, which is crucial for satiety and gut health. It is always wise to consult a certified nutritionist to build a sustainable, balanced meal plan.

Honestly, making green juice every morning, cleaning the juicer, and buying fresh greens is too much work for busy workdays. I just eat a raw cucumber or carrot on my way to the office. It's faster, cheaper, and gives you all the fiber too.

I have PCOS and green juice actually caused sugar spikes for me when I added apple or honey to make it taste better. Now I prefer eating whole boiled veggies or cucumber salad instead. It's safer to avoid sweetening it if you want to try it.

It can be a nice way to start your day if you enjoy it, but please don't force yourself to drink it if you hate the taste. Healthy eating should make you feel good, not stressed. A simple bowl of salad works just as well.

I got so worried reading about oxalates in raw spinach juice and how they might affect kidneys, so I stopped drinking it daily. If you do make it, maybe don't use raw spinach every single day, or just rotate different veggies to be absolutely safe.

I can only share what worked for me. I drank a glass of spinach and bottle gourd juice every morning for three months, and it did help clean my digestive system, but I only lost weight once I cut down on my heavy dinners.

I tried the green juice trend for a month and honestly, it just made me run to the washroom. No real fat loss happened until I actually started controlling my daily calorie intake and hit the gym. Don't waste your money on expensive celery, bro.
