Is juicing for everyone?

I have on many occasions met with persons, with considerable extra fat on their body, seeking to change that around.  The faster the better of course.  So, 'what is the best way?' they would ask me.  Before I could have the opportunity to get around answering them, they usually beat me to the punch and find their answer.  They no longer need me.  The answer is,  Juicing.  Buy bags of fruits and veggies.  Squeeze them all dry of their succulent manna.  Drink only juices for a certain number of days.  Don't even need the help of a coach, let alone an expert.  A modern day promise anyone can trust, to be good for them.  Get a juicer, or a blender.  Baby, it is GO time !!!!  Easy.  Simple.  I personally love juicingsmoothies ETC.  I do well with them; however, not everyone does.  

So, what goes wrong in the case of the individuals so passionate before they set out juicing?  
How come the confidence soon deflates, and not only is there no fat-loss, at times the discouragement turns into even more fat on these same bodies. 

One of the most common stories of over-fat people is that, they eat very little and very clean.  Which they do, and most often way below what their body needs.  So what IS the issue?  Well, restriction and deprivation do not work.  Such pattern will swing from one extreme to the other.  Which will cause the break downs, at a high frequency rate.  While sharing the healthy controlled dietary means, these calorie rangers forget to tell you about the bingeing, that is sure to follow the deprivation, often, as a daily occurrence.  Or the stress-eating etc.  Either is around foods, high-calorie beverages, and very often alcohol.  Hint, drinking alcohol every day is NOT OK, nor normal.

Juicing is not something I would advise someone who is setting out on a significant fat-loss journey.  My preference would be to start with adding smoothies into their days, that are balanced with the added fiber, blending fruits, veggies, super foods, and good fats, like organic nut-butters, or avocado.  This is, to seek to balance blood sugar first.  Work with this, and over time, move to juicing.  In my experience, it works best as something incorporated in a current regime, and over time worked towards more extensively.  IF that is the path that makes sense for you.  To create an environment for the body to get used to the new ways; as well as, to learn to get to know the new sensations in the body.

Same is true for any ways of eating.  Make sure it is something that is right for you, and you want to genuinely explore moving forth as a lifestyle for you.
