An all smoothie diet is not sustainable ... PERIOD!
A new account for you?
I failed to click over... this is her trolling the forum account.
Wow.. rude. Go find one post where I'm "trolling the forum" on this account.

You're breaking MFP TOS honey.0 -
I love smoothies and I've been having a green smoothie occasionally for breakfast, but I agree with the others that trying to do nothing but smoothies would lead to failure for me. You might be able to make one with good enough macros and micros that you could have it three times per day and be okay nutritionally, but I think you'd be pretty miserable.
I'd suggest just doing one for breakfast and then making yourself a balanced lunch and dinner. You can use the recipe builder for anything that you cook, and you can find most packaged foods in the database.

And can I just say that I find your attitude toward those giving advice so refreshing. A lot of times when we tell people that what they're doing isn't necessary or may not work they get really defensive. It's so nice to see someone willing to take advice.0 -
Oh Topaz…just stop…He said it wasn't at all…you said it was for 10-15 lbs…which is wrong. WRONG.
So stop trolling. Please. It's unbecoming…and you are breaking MFP rules…so I'd expect a smack down from a mod soon enough…

Did you really remake your whole profile with a vowel missing? :huh:
Oh no!

I'm going to tell you guys a secret, but lets keep it between us. There's this magical liquid called sweat. If you can work hard enough to make it escape your body a few times a week (at least) then you don't have to worry about outlandish diets like a month long smoothie craze.

I cant thonk of a single reasonable person who would hate this answer.
OP its about creating sustainable habits to carry with you for the rest of your life. A crazy fad diet - like an all smoothie diet - isn't sustainable.
But setting a reasonable calorie deficit and eating the foods you love in moderation is. You dont need to give up chocolate cake nor do you need to only consume smoothies. Its all about balance and sustainability.
some people need a break from chocolate cake...a reset. this does not make it a fad. 2 weeks of nutritous smoothies is not a bad idea.
where is this reset button for metabolism?0 -

You don't have to work out to lose weight. It can be done by diet alone.0 -
But if you're so in a hurry to lose weight, then it only makes sense to combine diet and exercise to get the best result. Far better than a month of nothing but smoothies!Ja_ja_jakeya wrote: »I'm going to tell you guys a secret, but lets keep it between us. There's this magical liquid called sweat.

At first I read this as "reset butter" and thought my life was now complete, I could put that on my fat-releasing spinach

Awwwww…the troller flagged me for abuse…I'd feel honored if what I posted was actually abuse…
Anyhow…This whole reset button, fat releasing spinach and probiotic packed banana crap has been awesome. I never did learn where that was sold at...0 -

You shouldn't be in a hurry to lose weight. Its more sustainable if you take it at a reasonable pace.0 -

IF you feel the shakes are taking some of your calories out of your day do it. Ignore all these "experts" and just keep up the good work!
Okay, THIS is just funny!0 -
7 months down the line and now I fancy a smoothie ...at 5am ...sheesh0
