General rules

Many people mistakenly believe that smoothies are a drink. In fact, it is a nutritious, healthy, tasty and low-calorie mixture prepared using a blender from various food ingredients. A cocktail can replace a full lunch or dinner, depending on the ingredients used to prepare it. The smoothie diet promises to get rid of 2 extra pounds in a week without feeling a constant feeling of hunger and irritability against this background.

From English, literally the word "smooth"translates as gentle, soft, insinuating. The birthplace of smoothies is England, where it is widely used by office workers as a lunch or light snack. A freshly prepared cocktail can be a very satisfying dish due to its high content of dietary fiber, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive tract. The mixtures are easily digested and do not cause a feeling of heaviness after taking.

For effective weight loss, it is better to use fresh vegetables and fruits (with the exception of high-calorie bananas and grapes), natural juices and other low-calorie foods as components for a smoothie diet. The weight loss process will start quickly and without much effort on the part of the person losing weight. Thanks to the puree-like consistency, the water-salt balance is normalized, the body is saturated with useful substances and vitamins. The absence of hunger allows you to avoid unhealthy snacks between main meals. The daily calorie content of food consumed is reduced, snacks are eliminated, which has a positive effect on the weight loss process.
