Green juice diet: lose weight up to 4 kg in just 20 days –

What’s the recipe?

There is no single model. The ingredients in the green juice can vary according to your taste (or the possibilities you have in your fridge and fruit bowl). But be careful that they are fresh, especially the leaves (the greener and firmer, the better) and, if possible, that they have been grown without pesticides. “Free from fertilizers and pesticides, organic foods combine more with the purpose of detoxifying and reducing inflammation in the body”, says Patrícia.

If you don’t find time to go to the supermarket frequently to renew your stock, grind the leaves in a blender or food processor and freeze them in ice cube trays, and use them little by little. Another basic rule, according to Daniela Jobst, nutritionist at the Nutrijobst clinic in São Paulo, is to vary the recipe so as not to tire your palate. But don’t go overboard with the amount of ingredients. “Instead of mixing too many items at once, it’s better to vary them each day. This prevents the juice from becoming caloric, heavy and with a strong taste”, warns Daniela. See the food groups that should be part of the juice and how many items to use from each of them.
