Not new, but starting over!! With Nutriblast!!!!

katielangley

I have a Vitamix and my kids actually ask for smoothies with spinach in them! I blended 1 frozen banana and 8 grams of peanut butter this afternoon to make "ice cream". It was good-but I'm not a huge fan of banana ice cream so don't know I thought I would like it better. I have made ice cream with frozen fresh fruit, a little milk and vanilla-even my husband likes it. I use my blender to get my fruits/veg in. I am not a huge fan of them so this way I can get more of them at once. I thought the weight would just drop off me when I got it (not sure why I thought that...lol) but counting cals/exercising is what is working. I still love my Vitamix though and don't regret buying it at all! They have sugar free caramel syrup (like for coffee drinks) in the coffee isle of the grocery store. Cut up an apple (remove the seeds/stem) and put in a little lemon juice and a little of the caramel syrup and blend...it's like a caramel apple applesauce----really really good!!

That is awesome.. Yes my son like them also.. we call it the monster drink since it is green..:) I know I will not drop weight from using this, but I know it will help me get all of my important nutrients throughout the day.. I love that I feel better, and I am using so many more seeds, nuts and veggies that before I would never consume..

I knew exactly what you meant when you wrote this post. I think it's great anytime someone finds a way to incorporate more fruits/veg into their diet...I knew you weren't just drinking your cals trying for a quick fix. I don't know if you can make taco soup in yours but it's so good.....chicken broth, just about any vegetable you can think of and some taco seasoning and blend like crazy. Then pulse in some corn, black beans and a little chicken. OMG, I love that soup and it has nothing bad at all in it.

I love the Nutribullet as well. I don't attribute it to any weight loss, but it isn't a gimmick. It's just a quicker way to get your meals/nutrients/snacks in. Nothing wrong with that.

I make a smoothie every evening and look forward to it every evening.

Now that sounds gross..haha..lol I wrote it the way I did to only get the attention of other ppl who blasted to get more ideas on what fruits and vegetables to try.. What ppl don't stop and think is that it is no different than drinking your protein powder... Why not just eat protein, why do you have to drink it...lol Stupid comments, I will never understand!

I agree,,, I have it in the mornings, and it has replaced my coffee that is horrible for me due to the calories and sweeteners that are in my creamer.. I had not intended to give up the coffee I love so much, but it just worked out that way... Love it!

Wow thanks for the support guys.. No I am not blending all of my food.. It is an easy breakfast replacement for me since I always skipped breakfast in the past!!

I still don't get how the blender is going to help you lose weight. If you were skipping breakfast in the past and now you are drinking your breakfast, aren't you now consuming MORE calories for the day? Don't get it. Guess I'm ignorant.

The "blender" is not going to help me lose weight..It's going to help me to increase my fruits and vegetables that I normally would not get. My calories intake in staying within my range given.. and eating breakfast is a good thing.. If you skip breakfast your body wants to go into starvation mode and in return your are at a much higher risk crash eating and over eating in the evening... Normally unhealthy foods..

opinion. Not fact. Maybe part of the reason you're doing this while thing again. Stop spreading bad information. Believe it if you want, since none of us can tell you anything anyway.

How about finding something better to do with your time? If you are not interested and just want to argue then move on.... I am pretty sure that not everyone on here does what you think they should... Shame on me for not giving up and trying something different that is working for me and allowing me to get my nutrients for the day.. I am pretty sure that if you don't like my bad information you don't have to use it... Go ahead come back with something else..I 'm not playing your game!

I love my ninja!

And yes I sometimes have a blended smoothie for breakfast, like protein powder, banana, strawberries, and some type of leafy green like spinach, kale if I do not feel like cooking. Or after a workout.

lol, I already won. I try to share information that helps people. Not my amazing fad of the week. Good luck, though. See you again in a few months.

This is my 3rd time of trying to lose weight.. I lost 49 pounds the first time and then had a miscarriage and fell back into my old habits.. The 2nd time I lost about 20 and just was not into it all!! Now I got a Nutribullet and have started blasting everyday, sometimes twice a day.. I love it and I am starting to feel better everyday.. I am 32 y/o tomorrow, married 10 years, have an 8 year old son, I live in Ohio, I am a country girl, I was thin in high school because I was in every sport.. Started gaining weight in college, nursing school, pregnancy, night shift... I am a junk food lover... Here is to healthy in 2014.. Add me if we have some things in common:)

And why are you all jumping on her? There is nothing there saying she does this all day. It specifically says she does it daily, SOMETIMES twice a day. Its a smoothie maker. A kitchen gadget, no fad diet. She didn't say she was replacing each of her meals with it. As far as we know she may be just drinking a smoothie as a snack and breakfast.

No different if she went and got her a smoothie at JUICEITUP or another place.

Wow...smh

Yep...everything on the interwebz is total truth.

Your thread is nonsense. You never stated how you were going to use said BLENDER to lose weight. Yes, I know exactly what the gadget does. I know the hype they put behind it to get people to buy it...nutrient extractor...LMAO. I am sorry that you don't want people to help you not fail again. We must be on totally different "journeys". I am here to eat healthy and work my body so I can be fit. You want a liquid breakfast.

I wish there was a way to simply tag a thread, so it would be in My Topics, without actually posting in it... but since there's not...

In.

The "blender" is not going to help me lose weight..

How about finding something better to do with your time? If you are not interested and just want to argue then move on.... I am pretty sure that not everyone on here does what you think they should... Shame on me for not giving up and trying something different that is working for me and allowing me to get my nutrients for the day..

Whoa, whoa, whoa my friend! Let's take it down a notch. Now that you have finally told us that you do not believe the blender is the secret to weight loss we have something to work with. It just took some provoking. Sorry if you don't like our methods, but sometimes it's better to get people to see the err of their own ways rather than telling them they're doing it wrong. Unfortunately the way you worded your thread led us to believe that you thought the Nutriblast was your golden ticket to weight loss and by using it somehow you would magically lose weight. Perhaps be more clear next time. As long as you are aware that a calorie deficit is the only thing that will allow you to lose weight, then we're all on the same page. Use your blender as you see fit as long as you log it all and come in at a deficit. Alrighty then? Ok! Carry on and good luck! :flowerforyou:

Such a tough crowd, really.

Good for you for eating more fruits and veggies is what I say! If nothing else you improve your health.

I am sorry but I missed the post where the OP said she was leaving MFP. Why are you all harping on about how she will be back? It sounds like she found a way to creatively make herself breakfast every day. Does it sound a bit like an Ad/Sales pitch? Maybe. But so does everyone here saying MFP is the way to go. Does that mean she is trying to pitch/promote a product? Nope.

Me personally? I cannot drink my food that way. So I don't know if the bullet is the answer for me. But way to go! And I wish you the best of luck. Add me if you like, even though our path is not exactly the same.

To everyone that thought coming here with a bad attitude was a good idea- Think long and hard about how you would feel if someone came to your intro thread and said you are stupid and doing it all wrong. Then slap yourself in the face for being jerks.
