4 Drinking fruit and vegetable juice is helpful in losing weight.

The rumor says having six glasses of fruit and vegetable juice a day for a month without eating anything else will help you lose at least 2.5 kilograms of weight.

It is true that only drinking fruit and vegetable juice will reduce weight in a short time, but the weight loss is mainly from loss of water, and users will regain the weight quickly once they stop the fast.

The method is also very risky, because fruit and vegetable juices have few other nutrients except vitamins and minerals, and the body will be under nourished if the fast goes on.

To lose weight, diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle are all indispensable.
