All-NaturalWeight LossSmoothiesLose Weight Fast and Easy
My Name is JenniferI managed to lose 55 pounds in five months by following a very simple weight loss strategy.
The best part is that I never felt like I was dieting.
I felt great! My energy level increased, and I never felt cranky like my other dieting friends.
Here’s My Strategy…
3 Step Strategy1. Eliminate high GL carbohydrates2. Eat more fruits and vegetables3. Eat more protein
1. Eliminate High GL CarbsI didn’t eliminate ALL carbohydrates.
I made sure I ate the right ones.
What Are High GL Carbs?GL stands for Glycemic Load, which is an indication of the impact on your blood sugar.
High GL carbs include: Potatoes White bread White rice
Low GL Carbs Do not have a roller coaster effect on
your blood sugar Are converted to blood sugar very
slowly Blood sugar stays regulated without the
release of insulin Body fat continues to get burned off
without it being stored on your tummy or butt
Vicious CycleWhen you eat high GL carbs: Your blood sugar spikes Your body overreacts by producing more insulin
than you need Your body starts using your blood sugar for fuel
and stops burning fat. The extra insulin brings your blood sugar down
to where it is lower than when you ate Your body overreacts again by releasing
hormones that raise the blood levels of sugars and fats
This reaction makes your brain think you are hungry again
My Strategy Eliminated high GL carbs Started eating whole grains Whole grains are rich in fiber,
antioxidants, minerals, and other nutrients
Drastically changed my breakfast habits
Breakfast I used to always have a bagel or muffin
for breakfast I started making a smoothie every
morning for breakfast My breakfast smoothie helped me
completely eliminate many of the high GL carbs in my diet
2. Eat More Fruits & Vegetables I started eating 6 to 9 small servings of
fruits and vegetables each day Whenever I was hungry I would snack
on carrot sticks or fruit slices I’d sip on fruit smoothies throughout the
morning or afternoon
Fruit Smoothies Smoothies are perfect for adding more
fruit and vegetables to your diet Smoothies make it easy to add new
fruits to your diet that you have never tried before, like mangos
3. Eat More Protein Proteins have little effect on blood sugar Proteins control hunger, helping reduce
between meal snacking Protein helps build your calorie-burning
muscle
Protein Smoothies You can add protein powders to your
smoothies Or you can add high-protein vegetables
The Romaine Secret Most people don’t know this, but
romaine lettuce is 17% protein Romaine has all 8 essential amino acids Romaine also has 44% of the daily
allowance of Omega-3 essential fats Romaine has more vitamin C than an
orange. Romaine has 17% of your daily water
needs
Simple Romaine Smoothie 1 cup water 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped ½ cup fresh pineapple ½ cup fresh mango 1 banana, peeled 1 tbsp. honeyPlace ingredients in blender. Mix on high until creamy smooth.
Weight Loss Smoothies Allowed me to eliminate high GL carbs Gave me extra servings of fruits and
vegetables Provided extra fiber which helped
control food cravings and helped balance my energy levels
Super easy – I’d make a week’s worth of smoothies on Sunday night and keep them in the fridge
