10 Best Juices For Weight Loss

Grapefruit juice is a favorite of Lori Kenyon-Farley, co-author of The Juice Cleanse Reset Diet, because it "keeps hunger at bay and speeds metabolic rate to help burn fat faster." If you're buying grapefruit juice, however, it's important to make sure the juice isn't loaded with additional sugar, which will derail your diet.

There's a reason your mom was always after you to eat this stuff. Spinach is one of the most densely nutrient-packed veggies around. It's got A, B, C, E, and K vitamins as well as iron and potassium. Its cleansing effects on the digestive system make spinach the perfect juice for a pre-diet detox. 

Raw carrot juice is full of antioxidants and phytochemicals, which help with the regulation of blood sugar. If you're prone to midday crashes that lead to doughnut cravings, try a carrot juice-based drink; it could help pep you up and keep you on track.
