Natural vegetables and fruits in capsules instead of artificial vitamins? JuicePlus is based on this idea - a Swiss food system based on condensed natural vegetables and fruits, which, in combination with the low-calorie Shape products, helps you lose weight. Is it a good way to lose weight? Here is the opinion of dietitian Katarzyna Pryzmont on the JuicePlus supplementation and the JuicePlus Shape diet.

Losing weight and staying slim is possible, but only with the right amount of vegetables. Each of us wants to be he althy and slim, but the recommended norms of consuming vegetables and fruits, which are to guarantee our he alth and a slim figure, are impossible for most of us. Who has time to consume about 1 kg of vegetables and fruit every day, mostly vegetables? Prevention must be regular!

Eating vegetables only for lunch, and eating fruit for dessert, occasionally, is a good variety to the diet, but it does not have much importance for he alth prophylaxis. Unfortunately, we will not change our working hours, family food preferences and our earnings right away, and we need to take care of our he alth every day. After all, it is not given to us for life.

The feeding system I want to tell you about is based on 20 years of experience by the Swiss company NSA. I am not going to write about studies commissioned by the company itself, but about clinical trials performed around the world on the productJuicePlus . For those interested in this subject - no one requires clinical trials from supplements, but JuicePlus has just such. In addition, I will describe my own experience and my patients.

Before I do my research, I'd like to focus on the diet itself. The matter is not simple. Ifslimmingwere easy, we wouldn't have an obesity epidemic in the world and, of course, in Poland. Obese people have or will have metabolic disorders or diseases related to too much fat in the diet. The famous saying of Poles - "you have to die for something" makes me extremely amused, but also causes a shock at how uneducated society we are. I invite you to the hospital, see people after strokes, heart attacks or cutting off a limb, with a diabetic foot. What do we want? I believe not.

Is there an ideal diet?

Obesity in addition to deterioration of fitnessphysical and mental affects the deterioration of the work of our internal systems and organs. The circulatory system is extremely exposed, where fat and cholesterol accumulate, closing the lumen of the blood vessels. Atherosclerotic plaque, cigarettes, high blood pressure and stress at work - it's all killing us. Now that we know what's killing us, why don't we change it? Changing a habit requires 2 years of new behaviors, and we need 7 years to perpetuate them. Consequently, we do nothing.

The diet must not contain products that you do not like. This is further discouraging. The diet should be quick and easy to prepare, accessible to everyone, should not contain any synthetic additives and, most importantly, should have a positive effect on he alth. Unfortunately, diets that are available on the Internet or beautiful-looking weight loss books are very often a trap (I suggest the book "Test 42 diets", from which you will learn what effects individual diets give and what specialists think about these diets).

The basis for slimming and rational nutrition are vegetablesand - to a lesser extent - fruit. Consuming them every day, in the amount of about 1 kg per day, different colors of vegetables and fruits are a "miracle tablet". Vegetables should be accompanied by low-calorie meals, but rich in vitamins and minerals. How is this achieved?

Vitamins and minerals in tablets

Personally, I am a huge opponent of synthetic supplementation. If someone wants to take chemicals for he alth, doesn't that seem strange? On the other hand, the lack of the right amount of vitamins will sooner or later affect our he alth. If you assume that you will follow the principles of rational nutrition every day, you are wrong. It's great if you wanted to anger me and prove otherwise. I keep my fingers crossed for all of these!

The average person does not have any medical-nutritional knowledge and shapes his opinion ondietary supplementson the basis of advertising or opinions of others. Pharmaceutical companies make billions from our ignorance. As an opponent of supplementation, I decided to take a closer look at supplements on the Polish market.

Unfortunately, it's bad. Imagine that to call a supplement natural, 5% of the natural ingredient is enough and the label already says: natural product. I started to wonder if there was any supplementation that I could apply myself as a specialist and if I would also give it to my children - thanks to which I would provide them with the right amount of natural vitamins and minerals every day?

JuicePlus - a really natural supplement?

Manufacturer of the supplementJuicePlus reports that it contains 98% natural ingredients. The mere information from the manufacturer is probably not enough for you. For me too. I was interested in research published in medical journals known to all physicians. Over 5,000 doctors, nutritionists and pharmacists around the world recommend JuicePlus.

I do not want to describe all the research in detail, because there are too many of them, and those who would like to know more, I refer to professional literature. In short: Juice PLUS + ® provides important plant compounds that are absorbed by the body, reducesoxidative stress , supports a he althy immune system, protects DNA, positively affects some important parameters of a he althy cardiovascular system. vascular he alth, supports oral he alth.

What is JuicePlus made of?

These are 27 different types of fruit, vegetables and berries that are harvested at maturity. So they have the greatest amount of minerals and vitamins. These products are: apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, Barbados cherries (acerola), peaches, papayas, dates, plums, carrots, parsley, beets, broccoli, kale, white cabbage, tomatoes, spinach, garlic, grapes, blueberries, blueberries, blackberries, elderberries, raspberries, red and black currants. Who among us eats such vegetables and fruits every day? Importantly, all plantations are controlled. Water and sugar are drained from vegetables and fruits, and then they are capped into capsules and in this form are delivered to consumers. Importantly, this supplement does not contain: artificial substances, sugar, preservatives, synthetic dyes, chemical stabilizers, herbicides, pesticides, nitrates and genetically modified substances.

JuicePlus is one of the most-researched dietary supplements. Additionally, it has appropriate standards and certificates. For those interested: GMP Certificate, NSF International - GMP TGA Certificate, Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia, Swiss Medic, United States Pharmakopeia, NCO Nutritional Company for the Olympics, Fresenius Institute. Worldwide observational studies have also been conducted on children and their families, in which more than 500,000 families have already participated. The results of this study and the composition of JuicePlus led me to start using JuicePlus myself with my children, aged 4 and 6.

After 4-8 months of consuming Juice PLUS + ®, the following positive changes were noticed in children and adults:

childrenadults

They eatmore fruits and vegetables51%61%
They drink more water63%68%

To make weight loss effective, we start with JuicePlus every day. There is not a single person among my patients who is dissatisfied. Lower cholesterol, less appetite, prettier skin - this is what I hear about the most.

What is JuicePlus Shape?

Vegetables and fruits are not everything. It would be too easy for people who are struggling with overweight or obesity. JuicePlus Shape products are intended for them - bars, cocktails and soups, properly balanced in terms of the amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates, which inhibit the feeling of hunger. In combination with JuicePlus capsules and of course with exercise, they help you lose weight.

Shape products contain only plant-based ingredients - great protein, incl. made of peas, lupines, potatoes or soybeans, it gives a feeling of fullness despite a small portion. Additional Shape contains omega-3 fatty acids derived from plants. Shape are products with a low glycemic index, so it is highly recommended for diabetics. The content of one serving is only 248 kcal of a balanced meal. Thebooster -emulsion made from spray-dried oil is also helpful in losing weight with this system. It contains green tea extract, natural caffeine and ß-glucan, which inhibits hunger attacks and strengthens the satiety impulse. However, I recommend that you eat, despite the lack of appetite, because you will feel very hungry at night. The booster doesn't work 24 hours - use it to eat less or cut down on evening snacking.

The weight loss time depends on the number of kilos you need to lose. The strict phase lasts 3 days and these are the Shape + JuicePlus products themselves, then an additional 2 regular meals are added and the diet is followed until the desired figure is achieved. Then, in 2-4 weeks, stop taking Shape products and return to normal nutrition.

The effects of using JuicePlus in combination with Shape products give amazing results - even a few kilos a month! When my patient, who started using the JP + Shape diet, went on vacation and came back to me after 4 months - I did not recognize him. I myself lost 9 kg on Shape products. It is overweight, which I have not been able to cope with since the birth of my second child. I would like to inform you with full responsibility that Shape products can be used by children from the age of 7, after consulting a doctor or dietitian.

To sum up - the nutrition system I have described is theresuitable for people who pay attention to the nutritional value of products, for all overworked and, above all, obese people.
