Juicer and weight loss

The only power juice you should consume is the power of the deficit diet.
If fat loss is your goal, the first thing you plan on is knowing your calorie needs (Maintenance Line) in accordance to what you do, and then creating a deficit in calories, and then develop a overall weight training program to compliment this diet.
THIS is the ultimate fat burner, young man.
Do you want me to help you with this?
Best wishes in all that you set out to do.

Step away from the juicer...
I would not recommend juicing for someone looking to calorie deficit & drop weight.
Why?
(1) Juicing ruins the fiber content the food. For example, it is healthier and more filling to eat one orange rather than turning it into orange juice.
(2) Related to point #1, though not entirely because of it, most people feel more full from the calories they eat (not the ones they drink).
(3) The only way to keep the calories down is to juice super-low calorie veggies (e.g, celery & spinach), which doesn't happen to taste very good anyway.
When you are calorie-deficiting to reach your weight loss goals, you need to find:
- adequate, non-caloric hydration (water, tea, etc.)
- high quality foods (proteins, good fats, good carbs) at an appropriate ratio for you [which for most people means keeping carbs no higher than 50% of total calories, quite likely far fewer].
I can't see how juicing would help you in achieving this. Well, maybe the OTHER kind of juicing would, but I wouldn't recommend that either.
