I recently watched a movie called Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead. It's a documentary about a man who tours around America for 60 days and follows a strict raw juice diet. He lost a ton of weight, got off all of his medications, and looked a whole lot better afterward. I'm not proposing a 2-month juice diet (heck, I don't even own a juicer), but I am going to do a week-long smoothie diet starting tomorrow. Of course these smoothies won't be like the ice cream/milk/loaded calorie smoothies, but they'll be packed with fruits and vegetables and some low-fat yogurt (something like this).
I'm excited. The only meal that will not be a smoothie will be Sunday dinner when we have "Thanksgiving" with my sister and her family. I'm going to do portion control and limit the things I eat during that meal.
Here's to some yummy smoothies!
