Who doesn’t need to lose a pound or two, every now and again? Whether it is because summer is rolling around again, and we want to look our best in the old bikini, or if we are getting a few years on us and are finding it harder and harder to maintain our optimum weight, we could still stand to lose a few of those pounds that we somehow accidentally found!
Losing weight using Green Smoothies is by far, the easiest method for weight loss. It is not a diet, but rather a simple matter of throwing all that good stuff in a blender and giving it a spin. What could be easier?
That is the key to the success of weight loss with Green Smoothies. I assume that you would not be reading this book, if you had no interest in Green Smoothies, to start with. If you have already incorporated one or two Green Smoothies into your daily diet, then you’ll soon be losing weight, whether you realize it or not. If you add a little exercise to your routine a few days a week, then you will really be reaping those weight loss benefits in nothing flat!
Most of us who need to lose weight, have tried every diet that has ever been invented, all for naught. Diets do not work. Diets make you feel deprived, and when you feel deprived that little devil comes out and sits on your shoulder, and whispers in your ear “it won’t hurt to eat this just this once!” Unfortunately, after you give in to the little voice once, it starts talking to you more and more often. Suddenly, you find that you are gaining weight, instead of losing it.
In my first book, we learned all about how to use Green Smoothies as an aid to losing weight. Here are 11 more delicious recipes that are guaranteed to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
