Anyone lost weight with the help of a Nutribullet?

MrsSWW

Lose £126 maybe...

EmilyOfTheSun

It's $130??

You can buy a similar thing at a department store for $25. Then spend $100 on equipment or a gym membership that actually will help.

At least, that's what I'd do.

If bullets helped me lose weight, i'd have never been fat.

I see what you did there.

also, no bullets here.

I bought the Nutribullet due to my fast my church does every January. I've used it to make fruit/veggie smoothies that help me with the foods I am allowed to eat and just by doing a smoothie for breakfast and lunch I've lost 9lbs. Of course for dinner I'm having a sensible meal but after my fast is over (11 more days left) I plan to continue my smoothies for breakfast and lunch.... i love it and glad I purchased it. Of course the cheaper way was to go to Bed Bath and Beyond and use the coupon they send out and it came to $70 and some change,

Funny how a simple question can bring out all the sarcasm in people. No I don't think you literally meant just owning the Nutribullet would help you lose weight. That goes without saying. The few serious comments were helpful because I, too was wondering if the device was worth the money. Good luck on you quest to lose & wish me well on mine. Sorry you have to weed through all the BS comments before getting to a serious one!!

It's a fcking blender! How does a blender help you lose 10,000 pounds? It doesn't. Eat less than your TDEE. Move your *kitten*. Lose weight. No blender necessary (except on margarita night).

*high five*

To the person who wrote.....I suppose it would help you lose weight if you held the blade against your leg and ground off a piece. Calorie deficits cause weight loss not mixing up a concoction in an over priced blender.......


......that's just vile.

I really don't understand why people have to be snide, arrogant, or sarcastic when replying to your question. On behalf of these immature souls that have replied to you, I am sorry. I wish you the best with your weight loss!

HI!

I think you have a very valid question and think that all the smart a** comments should be ignored.
I would hope that people you MFP could be more understanding and encouraging. Ignore all the snide remarks.

As for the Nutribullet, I do have one, as well as a very expensive and large blender (a gift). When I use the Nutribullet it pulverizes anything I put in it. My blender leaves frozen fruit lumpy and constantly needs to be turned off while blending so that I can stir it and add more liquid to get it going again.

The Nutribullet comes with a few pieces that don't take up much space either. It is much easier to clean and fits nicely into a basket I can leave on my countertop and easily store when I am not using it.

As for losing weight, I use it as a way to get in more veggies, fruit and fiber taking into account all the calories and nutritional value while journaling. It definitley fills you up and has provided me with more energy and controls my appetite for binging. The losing weight part will come when you journal, follow MFP guidelines for food intake and exercise.

If you are looking for an opinion on this product and you are thinking you would like to start doing smoothies and juices, it is a very convenient product.

Don't put all you hope for weight loss into one "idea". Follow MFP, do your shakes, eat clean and exercise. Little by little change happens.

Good luck and I would hope more encouraging posts come your way.

Whoa! This is supposed to be a SUPPORT website! Cool down with the harsh rhetoric and judgment. We're all here for the same reason!

this sounds dirty if u ask me.

I think blenders are a useful thing to have but this is an extreme case of causation =/= correlation (plus marketing ploys).

What she said... but I'm sure it's quite useful in the kitchen.

If it did work, why would it be on an infomercial at 2am!?

I have a nutribullet. I haven't found it to be much better than a regular blender. Having said that, I think a blender can aid in weight-loss. I use mine to puree berries, veggies, cauliflower (for cauliflower pizza crust), nuts, etc. I have more non-processed eating options because of it and so yes, I think it helps me lose weight. I spent so much money on mine because it comes with a 25 year warranty. Yes, it costed me $130 bucks but so will the ten blenders that you go through in the next 25 years.

Not to be a stickler.....but if you are blending your food it is no longer "non-processed"

Throw away the blender and shake it by hand! Burn more calories!

Well said! I own one too!

I went Vegan for 7 weeks at the beginning of this year and my nutribullet made all of my breakfasts!! I think its a great little blender and super easy to use!! I dont attribute the 10 pounds I lost in this time to the nutribullet solely but it did help me make smart meal choices. I havent used it much recently since i am back to eating eggs in the morning....i should though!!

I was happy to see someone posting about the Nutribullet... then saw all the rude replies. Jeez, you all must be very miserable people

Anyways - I'd suggest getting the Nutribullet simply because it's a great way to eat whole, healthy, organic fruits and veggies, several times a day - and this will make you a healthier person. Will it make you lose weight? I guess that depends on each person! I got a Nutribullet to lose weight... but then a few days later realized I'd rather be healthy, and if I lose weight, then great!

The Nutribullet is different because it's an extractor vs. a blender or a juicer. Here's an article that helps explain: http://nutribulletblog.com/to-juice-or-to-blend/

I bought mine online for $100 - and it's already paid for itself, because I make a smoothie for breakfast and dinner (and have a salad with a protein for lunch). It keeps me full until lunch time. I'm not sluggish and lethargic at work any more. I'm able to drink veggies that I have a hard time eating alone. If I were to buy 2 smoothies a day from Jamba Juice, it would be like $10 a day. I don't believe Jamba Juice even uses organic fruits/veggies and most of their smoothies contain frozen yogurt!

For instance, the breakfast I'm eating right now is: 2 handfuls of spinach, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 banana and then I throw in a couple pieces of: raspberry, blueberry, pineapple, mango, peach and strawberry. Then I top it with flax meal, chia seeds, hemp seeds, splash in some Braggs apple cider vinegar, a chunk of fresh ginger and my protein powder, then top it off with a bunch of water (but you can also use nut milks, coconut water, carrot juice... even green tea!) It's about 400-500 calories and filled with tons of protein, vitamins and cancer-fighters!

I'm sure if you pair the smoothies up with some healthy snacks at work and a healthy dinner, throw in some exercise, you'll be on your way to weight loss and great health in no time!

It would be nice if everyone would quit *****ing at this lady and just answer the question. It's a simple question. Do you own one or not? Quit preaching.
