Can juices from extractor make you fat?
Juices from extractor (cold) have replaced both normal centrifuged and smoothies in the diet of health-conscious. The reason is simple: the extractor allows you to extract the juice from vegetables and fruit, leaving the nutrients unchanged and removing the fibers. Many people who have the juicer at home will confirm that a large amount of fruit and vegetables is “reduced” to about a glass of extracted juice, and this allows them to get more vegetables in their diet in two simple sips.
There is a but:Â in the face of so many advantages (taking more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants), there may also be disadvantages in the consumption of juices from extractor, which have become one of the characteristics of diets in recent years.These juices can in fact make you fat.
There are three reasons.
The first is the calories : the sugars in fact remain in the juices from the extractor, it is the fibers that are not there. So it’s like taking concentrated fruit and vegetables. Depending on the ingredients chosen, a glass of 200 ml of extracted juice if it is vegetable can reach 50 / 6o calories, but if it is fruit and vegetables or just fruit it can exceed 150 calories. If we do one a day, that’s not bad, indeed, that’s fine. If we do three, we have to take into account the calories.
The second is the glycemic load of the juices from the extractor. Especially if we use carrots, beets for vegetables and various types of fruit, the daily quota of simple sugars goes up. If we are sedentary or have problems with insulin resistance, we should make extractor juices exclusively or almost exclusively from vegetables, preferring cucumbers, fennel, green leafy vegetables, radishes, celery. Otherwise (if we use fruit) it is as if we ingest a tablespoon or more of sugar with each glass
In summary: juices from extractor are good and healthy, but as with all things, they are not abused by thinking that “calories do not count” and “so much is good”. Olive oil is also good for you, especially raw, but that doesn’t mean seasoning a plate of vegetables with 4 tablespoons of oil instead of one or two!
