Miracle Juices and Weight Loss - Fact or Fiction?
There has been advertisement after advertisement promoting weight loss benefits of variousberry drinks on the market. They all seem to have similarities,, but most common is the claim
of weight loss. The misconception is that drinking this juice or berry bi-product will lead to
weight loss. Are you kidding me? So let me see, you have tried working out, you have tried
South Beach, you have tried Atkins, you have tried Fat Busters or some other method of losing
weight? These did not work and now you're going to drink a juice and magically the weight will
melt off? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that is very unlikely. These potions DO
NOT WORK! So please do not fall for all the ads, the sensationalism on the internet, etc..
claiming to provide weight loss results. Yes, there are some benefits to Acacia Berry and
others like it. Some of those benefits are:
1) Helps you reach the recommended 3000 to 5000 daily ORAC units, with 3764 ORAC units
per serving. (Read more regarding ORAC Scores.)
2) Fights free radicals with a high proprietary blend of unique antioxidants from grapes.
3) Supports healthy circulation and immunity, and provides the nutrient support for healthier
looking skin.
If you notice most of these programs come with a cleanse program of some sort. Again, for
many, a cleanse can be beneficial and having structure can be helpful. However, actually
changing your lifestyle, what and how you eat on a daily basis, will be the most effective. At
least 60-70% of a person's weight loss comes from self motivated discipline and determination.
If you do lose weight after a cleanse (which is not a guarantee) the juice did not do it for you!
I have and do recommend cleanse programs followed by continued clean eating of whole
foods, adequate protein and healthy fats. I would argue that most of the folks that have had
dramatic weight loss have made other changes in their lifestyle that ultimately led to weight
loss. So the answer is... fiction! They do not directly affect weight loss. I challenge anyone to
show me a well designed clinical or academic study that shows that in and of it-self, these
products aid in weight loss.
So, like I said in previous blogs, do you have a plan you believe in? Do you believe you can
make the changes in your life? Do you believe you have the support needed? If not, develop
a plan, write down your goals, get the support and make a plan you believe in! For comments
