People eager to lose weight often go on low calorie juice diets. While I'm not really an advocate for extreme diets or ridiculous "detoxing" juice cleanses, I think if combined with some other basic nutrition (some protein and healthy fats) it can be an effective way to jump-start some weight loss. Whereas juice provides with many nutrients, one needs to also combine it with an exercise regimen to lose bodyfat and keep it off.
Vegetable juice and fruit juices provide the body with necessary vitamins and minerals required for healthy immunity. Vegetable juice can act as appetite suppressants and the sugar content is lower than in fruit juices. Enjoy these frugal and healthy low calorie juice recipes for a little short term weight loss..

Frugal fruits like watermelons, pineapple, papayas, plums, berries and honeydew have low amounts of calories. So, experiment and make your own low calorie juice recipes for weight loss. Likewise vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, celery, cabbage, lettuce, beetroot, spinach, apples, oranges and lemons are the healthy choices for creating your low calorie juice recipes for weight loss.
I'd advise you not go on a juice diet for too long, and to include at least a little protein and heart healthy fats along with the juicing. While these juices provide essential nutrients to the body without filler, it is not sufficient for a long term healthy nutrition. Enjoy your juicing!
