how you can lose weight fast with just potato juice
Contrary to the common perception that potato makes us fat, health experts advocate the combination of a potato juice regimen with healthful meals for losing weight. Potato is considered as one of the forbidden vegetable if you’re on a weight-loss programme. Although potatoes add fat to body only if it is consumed with butter or cream is added.
Potatoes have resistant starch that slows down the digestion process while contributing to the process of burning down calories. Potato juice after a meal stalls the growth of hunger increasing hormones (leptin and ghrelin). Eating foods that make you feel satisfied is the key to weight loss.
Furthermore, potatoes are an excellent source of fibre as well. An average-sized potato can fulfil up to 10 per cent of body’s daily requirement of fibre. More importantly, fibre is a non-digestible component that supports elimination of solid waste from the body. It helps to move the fat rapidly through the digestive system for slow absorption, aiding to weight loss.
Step 1
Choose potatoes with "eyes" that have live enzymes and could possibly sprout. They should be firm, with no black spots or green color, which could indicate toxicity. The fresher the vegetable, the higher the nutrient content.
Step 2
Juice the entire potato, skin and all -- the majority of the nutrients are in the skin. If you do not have a juicer, grate the entire potato and squeeze the juice out. You may see a white paste on the bottom of the glass after juicing, which is the starch and has little nutritional value. Don't drink it.
Step 3
Drink 100 to 150g of juice every morning when you wake up, at least 30 minutes before breakfast. Do not make the juice the night before, because freshness is important. If you don't care for the taste of the raw potato juice, add raw carrot juice or a small amount of honey, but watch out for added sugars, which may hinder your weight-loss efforts. Try lemon juice for flavor without added calories.
Step 4
Drink the same amount of freshly squeezed juice 30 minutes before dinner. Repeat this routine daily for two weeks. If it helps your weight-loss efforts, take a one-week break and then repeat the process for another two weeks.
Step 5
Eat lightly during these two weeks. Focus on adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet, and avoid processed foods high in sodium and refined sugars.
