Tomato Juice For Weight Loss?

Hello Divas!

Recently I have been thinking of trying something new to help me to lose weight. I read a recent article (well actually more than one) that said that drinking Tomato Juice helps to lose weight.

They specifically mention low sodium vegetable juice like V8 every day. Now I have been drinking V8 vegetable and fruit juice mixes but never just the plain vegetable juice so I decided to try it.

Yuck!!!

Low sodium V8 tomato juice tastes like tomato soup with not enough salt. I had to chug it down like medicine.

I guess I will have to mix the Strawberry Fusion V8 with the low sodium one to make the taste bearable.

Has anyone tried low sodium vegetable juice? Is is working?
