Are the shakes low in calories?
In the last few months my body is obese and needs weight reduction for good health. Joining a gym has helped and since I became a member I have lost 8 kilograms of weight. But there is more at stake than exercise. To begin with, my diet has been adjusted, and sugar and salt are now excluded as much as possible. However, the grain awakening has been positive, as the oatmeal eaten for breakfast every morning was partly to blame for the problem.
Once I realized this, my change to something better was immediate. About two years ago my sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and to help her with her food intake 2 Magic Mix machines were purchased and one of hers was given as a gift. The other one sat in my closet unused until pimples became a no-no.
Something inside told me to take it out and use it. This was added to reading an article by a dietician who reports that breakfast is an unnecessary meal and that we should relax our stomachs by avoiding it.
This advice does not sit well with me. My body craves food of some sort in the morning or it screams at me. A trip to the supermarket helped solve the problem.
Thinking of smoothies as an alternative to oatmeal, the basic ingredient should be yogurt. There, in the refrigerated section, was one with extra protein. Using a couple of heaping tablespoons as a start and adding fruit and a celery stick now is my answer.
Berries are included in the fruit selection; bananas; passion fruit; apple; fruit kiwi; grapes; and colleagues. They are not all added to each smoothie, as four or five is enough. A little almond milk is added to this mixture so that it blends better.
The taste is divine and the energy it gives me lasts until lunch time when I now have my main meal. All the change in diet has helped and along with working out at the gym my body already feels so much better.
As a spiritual person with a link to the Universal Spirit, my trust in God is such that when I hear a voice speaking to me from within, I act accordingly. That voice told me one day to join a gym because I need to exercise. Now they ask me to help me lose more weight because fat in the organs is a precursor to cancer and that is not welcome in anyone’s life.
Due to the weight loss experienced in about eight months, it’s obvious to me that the shakes are low in calories and a healthy alternative to cereal.
