Drinking at least one glass of low sodium vegetable juice such as V8 every day may help dieters lose more weight.
In a recent study of 81 people, those who drank at least 8 ounces of vegetable juice in addition to a healthy diet, lost 4 pounds over 12 weeks, while those who followed the same diet but did not drink the juice only lost one pound.
Most of the participants in the study were women and showed excess belly fat. Their diet consisted of fruits, vegetables, lots of fiber, low fat dairy products and proteins low in fat. In addition, they were told to drink between one and 2 cups of vegetable low sodium juice such as V8 for 12 weeks.
Just look at the benefits:
V8 is not expensive and easy to carry
You increase vitamin C and potassium intake, while decreasing their overall carbohydrate intake.
You get the recommended 3 to 5 servings of vegetables daily.
