A nutritionist explains why juice cleanses don't work

Plants don't have iron? Micro fibers dont exist? This clown just got asked on to cast doubt because McDonalds or someone is a heavy advertiser. A raw vegetable or fruit only based diet means you aren't dumping toxins found in everyday foods. Juicing is an effective way to accomplish this because they are easier to prepare and consume. You can eat lettuce in a juice without needing to add all that extra garbage (processed dressings, cheeses, croutons, oils, etc) and it tasted good enough for you to STICK WITH IT. Don't let a paid shill make you doubt yourself if you are looking into a juice cleanse. Just make sure you do it healthily and consume enough fruits and vegetables to power your body.

This couldn't be more wrong....sugar??? Obviously, this person is not educated enough. The sugar content he is referring to is called Fructose. Fructose is the HEALING part of the fruits and one of the main things that will help reverse diabetes in a diabetic. I don't have diabetes type 2 because of this and also because I went on an all-fruit diet. Juicing purifies you and detoxifies you in many ways. However it will not work if you go back to eating a poor diet, you have to make a diet and lifestyle change to reap all the benefits. Juicing should be used in the long term (90-120 days) very cautiously and you must have a reason as to why you want to do this such as reversing an ailment or because you are about to begin a lifestyle change and need to detoxify....other than that, 3- 7 days is ok from time to time and then going back to eating healthy whole foods such as quinoa, chickpeas or other legumes, fruits, greens, veggies, mushrooms, etc etc.... But of course, if this person is part of the meat industry or big pharma who DOES NOT want us to heal off of natural foods and push us to take isolated fiber supplements, the I can expect them to say some stuff like this. That's ok, imma sit here and start my juice cleanse soon. Carry on sir.

Stop whining in the comments and stop trusting blindly any video u see on the internet. 😂

It works for some people who follow the green juice cleanse based on the documentary "Sick, Fat, and Nearly Dead."

Government shill…this guy has absolutely no f’ing clue 🤡

Juicing isn’t meant for long term use of course it isn’t healthy over a long period of time but I can be beneficial in short windows such as 3 day fasts to help people overcome sugar addictions or over eating.

What does juicing actually do? And for someone who has an unchanged, unhealthy diet?

idiot lol

So i guess kale is no longer a fruit or vegetable 😕

The problem here he presented juicing/cleasing as if it the only food that you would do forever while most routine is just 3 day cleanse. Then you can go back to regular balance diet.

It is okay to cleanse and fast once in a while.

You are a fool sir🎉

Agent of the meat industry

You have no idea what juicing is lol you need to give your digestive system a break to heal and cleanse lol

Garbage advice. The entire world juices.

Juicing flat out works. This guy has not tried it. I'll take results over a bunch of letters behind some bozos name.

There is a lot of people that misunderstand juicing including this guy.

First, juicing is meant to be a supplement to an already healthy diet. That debunks most of the criticism. It’s not meant to give you every possible nutrient your body needs. It’s not meant to give you lots of fiber or protein. Do you think all foods that don’t give you this are bad? It’s not logical to think if it this way.

Juicing is meant to give you hydration and a boatload of nutrients. The amount of vegetables you can get from a juice you would never be able to consume in a day. You can get 10 cups of greens, turmeric , ginger, peppers, and cabbage in 1 drink. Again, it’s a supplement. People need to stop looking at it as something to compare to a balanced meal. That’s not it’s purpose if your doing it right.

The body would detox properly is we did have such a SAD diet. If it was that simple people would be so sick and overweight

ugh , well what's a natural way to clean out my backed up digestive system ?

If you already have a shit diet and you don't wanna eat veggies... you juice them

It does work... you eat the fruits and you juice the vegetables... they made a mistake

WHY ARE ALL THESE VIDEOS SO FUCKING SHORT

finally someone with common sense!

Love that sassy lisp.

16 dislikes is from people in LA

clear disinformation

SMOOTHIES!!
Try this: Blend Nut or bean milk + vegan protein powder + avocado + frozen banana + nut butter + fresh greens = AWESOME! (no dairy, no added sugar, but has all the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein you need!!)

Hey Business Insider...there is a caption option the user can turn on. Please don't have your own automatically on the screen. It's quite irritating.

Don't tell them the truth! Your triggering the hipster, Starbucks, sjw iPhone yogi girls

please use sources to back claims

I've suspected this for years; it's nice to see a nutritionist say it out loud. Ive always giggled inside when I see some one blending a concoction and I always thought, 'why not just chew your food and eat it like you're supposed to?'

someone should go tell casey neistat about this...

depends what kind of stuff is in the juice... if your doing some shit sheep illumanti chemical one of course not

Marketing trumps science in America. Always has.
