Should I drink juices to increase my fruit and veggie intake?

No. The health and weight-reducing benefits of vegetables and fruit come from eating them, not drinking them. If you like juices, enjoy them as an occasional treat, in the same way that you'd enjoy fun foods. The rest of the time, eat your vegetables and fruit.

"Hi Amanda, just a quick note to let you know that I lost exactly 2 kgs after one month. Much to my astonishment because I haven't been 'really' trying. As I only have 4 more to go, I know that it's going to take a while and I don't expect to lose that much next month, however it did give me a real sense of achievement and a spring in my step. Many thanks for all the tips, I completely love being able to eat my usual diet and just listen to my body. The silly season is upon us, so probably a few more glasses of bubbles than usual but that's half the fun of it right! Kind regards, A.A. P.S. my 'sometimes doubting' husband also lost 1.5kgs! "
