Diet question?

Question

Does anybody know if wheatgrass cleaned or juice cleanses help you loose weight?

I recently hit 150 pounds and started getting acid reflux  when im sleeping and VOMITING every night i sleep for about 2 weeks now. and heartburn so I think  I need to loose weight. I'm assuming that's the cause I know I'm not pregnant because I just had period and just started fertile window.

What is better
Wheatgrass?
Juice cleanse?

Answer

Neither. (I'm a personal trainer and currently I school for my masters in Nutrition) While I do drink both wheatgrass and veggie juices, neither is a holy grail for weight loss. Juice cleanses often help you lose water weight, but it's only temporary. Also, they can be high in sugar, but low in protein and fiber. And wheat grass is super healthy (not great tasting, just to warn you) but healthy doesn't equal weight loss. That said, both are good components in a healthy diet.

I'd suggest downloading the app called myfitnesspal. Log everything you eat (100% honestly) for about a week just to get a baseline of what you're eating. From there you should make two simple changes: 1. Cut 150-200 calories per day and 2. Replace some processed foods with fruits and veggies (juice is a good option here, just make sure it's more veggie than fruit) or a source of protein, like Greek yogurt or chicken. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water! Those changes right there are a million times better than any cleanse out there. Good luck!

Answer

Do you sleep on your right side? That could have a little to do with it if yes. Google, "benefits of sleeping on left side".   Pregnancy has taught me that if I don't want something coming back up while sleeping, I have to sleep on my left side!
