Can celery and cucumber juice help with weight loss

Celery and cucumber juice may help with weight loss, but drinking it alone cannot achieve significant weight loss effects. Weight loss requires comprehensive interventions such as diet control and exercise. Celery and cucumber are both low calorie and high fiber vegetables. After juicing, they retain some dietary fiber, which can increase satiety and reduce the intake of other high calorie foods. The apigenin in celery may help regulate blood lipid metabolism, and the presence of succinic acid in cucumbers can help inhibit the conversion of sugars into fats. The mixed juice of the two can supplement nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, making it suitable as a low calorie meal replacement drink. However, fruit and vegetable juice may lose some dietary fiber during the extraction process, and lack high-quality protein and essential fatty acids and other nutrients. Long term reliance solely on fruit and vegetable juice for weight loss may lead to muscle loss and decreased metabolic rate. Some people may experience gastrointestinal discomfort or blood sugar fluctuations after drinking. Commercial fruit and vegetable juices may contain added sugar, which in turn increases calorie intake.

It is recommended to include celery and cucumber juice as part of a balanced diet, with a daily intake of no more than 300 milliliters, and avoid drinking on an empty stomach. During the weight loss period, it is necessary to ensure a daily protein intake of no less than 1 gram per kilogram of body weight, combined with at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week. If you experience discomfort such as fatigue and dizziness, you should adjust your diet structure in a timely manner and consult a nutritionist. It is recommended to control the weight loss rate at 0.5-1 kilogram per week to avoid the health risks caused by rapid weight loss.
