How to Lose Weight Fast With Smoothies

Weight loss is difficult enough without the added obstacle of time restraints and menu-planning. By implementing one snack or meal replacement smoothie into your daily diet, you can boost your weight loss and receive additional intestinal cleansing benefits.

Instructions

1

Blend a mixture of your favorite fruit, 1/2 cup of cold water, and 8 pitted dates or other fiber. Fiber helps to eliminate excess waste from the lining of your intestines and will reduce cravings by making you feel full for a longer period of time.

2

Do not add sugar or honey for sweetness, as these can quickly add on the extra calories. If you insist on a sweeter smoothie, consider using Splenda, a low-calorie sweetener derived from sugar.

3

Replace the water with skim milk or yogurt for a thicker smoothie. Yogurt also helps hinder cravings and keeps you feeling fuller longer.

4

Blend berries into your smoothie for antioxidants and extra fiber from the seeds.

5

Sneak a serving of vegetables into the blender for added nutritional value of your smoothie. The fruit will usually do a good job of masking most unappealing flavors.

6

Drink your smoothie as a replacement meal or snack. Smoothies have wonderful health benefits and aid in weight loss, but they should be used in addition to a healthy diet and exercise routine. Smoothies should not replace your entire nutrition source.
