Have the fruit, instead of going for juice. Eating a fruit will add more fiber in your diet, which will keep you fuller longer, minus the extra calories of the packed juices. Also a fruit, when pressed or squeezed to make juice, loses most of its nutritional value in addition to fiber and some water soluble vitamins. Fruit juice that has lost its fiber and large amounts of nutrients is basically just a concentrated source of sugar that is deficient in nutrients. These nutrients that are present in fruits, supplement your digestion and metabolism. So, eat your fruits, instead of drinking them up!

Instead, opt for low-calorie mini-meals every 2 to 3 hours to keep your metabolism skyrocketed.
