Fruit juice contains many calories and simple sugars without providing the satiation from eating real fruits.

Might as well drink coke really

From real fruits but without the fibre, you're essentially drinking sugar calories, albeit with a lot of other micronutrients for health, but it doesn't help the waistline.

What Chipter_wes said

fruits have simple sugars, fibre and other nutrients.

fruit juice(regardless of whether it comes from the hawker centre or the supermarket or home made) have simple sugars without much fibre. Essentially, you're drinking calories which could lead to passive overeating (hitting above calorie requirements without realising).

I'm just saying that fruit juice would not aid your fat loss. Drink it if you crave it but it won't help in losing weight. Just probably taste nice. Like Coke.

But actually eating fruits can not only aid in fat loss but can be also healthier than the juice itself.

“Our data further endorse current recommendations on increasing whole fruits, but not fruit juice, as a measure for diabetes prevention,” said lead author Isao Muraki, research fellow in the Department of Nutrition at HSPH. “And our novel findings may help refine this recommendation to facilitate diabetes prevention.”

Fruit juice is not a better option. Even though it has more nutrients, it contains as much sugar (though from naturally occurring fruit sugars rather than added sugar) and calories as soft drinks.

Do you know how many apples go into a glass of apple juice, or how many oranges go into a glass of orange juice? In real life, would you eat that many fruit in 1 sitting?
