So, can asparagus juice work to lose weight?

As we just saw, this drink’s quite low in calories, so it may work for reaching a caloric deficit (when you burn more calories than you eat).

Also, its fiber and water may help to satiate hunger and cleanse the body. That is, help to lose some weight in the bathroom in the short term.

In any case, it’s key that you don’t focus your diet on a single food / juice and follow other healthy and appropriate habits to achieve your goals.
