Pineapple and cucumber juice for belly fat

We are passionate about knowing the properties we put inside our juice, so let’s take a dive into all these fabulous ingredients and their health benefits!

This is important to understand their mechanism of action.

Pineapples

These tropical fruits are linked to significant health benefits, including aiding digestion, improved immunity, and recovery after exercise. (1)

Pineapple juice also contains soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps us lose weight because fiber keeps us full for a long time and helps to induce satiety.

Always try to consume fresh pineapples when juicing. Sweet pineapple with help make your juice sweeter of course but you can use also not-so-sweet pineapple without a problem.

Just remember that the fresh pineapple is the only sweet component of this pineapple cucumber juice recipe, thus having a direct effect on the final result.

I avoid canned pineapples as they usually have added sugars and don't have all the Vitamin C antioxidant effect that fresh pineapple can offer.

Cucumbers

This vegetable is a great hydration partner, and they have zero fat and are very low in calories. (2)

Cucumber juice is very hydrating and has diuretic effects.

Parsley

This fantastic herb is very low in calories and, when combined with the detoxifier lemons (or limes), can help those on a weight loss regime while helping in losing belly fat.

Parsley also helps to reduce water retention and bloating. 

Spinach

Packs lots of insoluble fiber, the critical element helping in weight loss. It also has a reasonable amount of protein, so it is a good idea to consume it before or after your exercise routine as part of your regime.

Studies have shown that the membrane proteins extracted from green leaves like spinach, can induce satiety, thus helping to consume fewer calories. (3)

Lemons and limes

These citrus fruits are potent antioxidants (Vitamin C, the more prominent) and immune-boosting nutrients. They are highly alkalizing and are known for their detoxifying properties.

As a study suggests feeding with lemon polyphenols suppresses body fat accumulation and body weight gain. (4)

Ginger

Aids in digestion has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and relieves bloating. If you’re sensitive to ginger’s spiciness, add it little by little.

As study results indicated that the consumption of ginger significantly decreased body weight. (5)

So, this pineapple cucumber lemon ginger juice weight loss recipe has everything you can think of to be the perfect and Best juice for weight loss.

Drink pineapple cucumber juice once a day, or every other day, alternating it with anti-inflammatory and detoxifying celery juice, for better results.

Variation

As a cherry on top, you will consume all the fiber and keep the satiety for longer.

Add mint leaves to your healthy recipes; it is an easy way to add some extra chlorophyll to our diets.

A study suggests that consuming chlorophyll in early life prevents diet-induced obesity. (6)

Can juicing help you lose weight?

The best way to lose weight is to eat healthy foods, mostly plants. Pay attention to when you are hungry and drink plenty of water. Get enough sleep and move your body to feel good.

This juice is designed with mostly low-calorie vegetables, fruits that are low in sugar, and each ingredient was carefully chosen given their weight-loss properties, backed by clinical studies.

Choosing a juicer

We use a Slow Masticating Juicer that has become our juicing companion. You will find two camps of juicers— cold-pressed (also called slow masticating) and centrifugal juicers.

The cold-pressed juicers slowly press down the produce until the dry fiber falls into a separate container.

Get an excellent Cold-Pressed juicer, also known as a slow masticating juicer.

It will be one of the best investments you have made in the year! Trust me! Make sure you check the juicer's instructions before starting, as many juicers have different working mechanisms.

Centrifugal juicers extract juice fast, spinning cut-down veggies and fruits around until the fiber and liquid separate.

They are also typically cheaper as the slow-masticating juicers are more efficient at getting more juice from your veggies and fruits.

Our juicer is a slow cold-pressed juicer, and we love it.

If you don't have a juicer, you can also make juices, following these simple tips on juicing without a juicer plus three delicious recipes.
