Green Smoothies!

Recently I discovered a book by JJ Smith, a nutritionist and weight loss expert. The book is called the 10-day green smoothie cleanse and you can loose up to 15 pounds in 10 days. I decided to give it a try and posted a note on Facebook to see if any of my family and friends wanted to join in. Well I got three takers and we started on June 1st. The cleanse consists of smoothies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The book has specific recipes for each day and suggests snacks you can eat throughout the day. Days 1-3 were very tasty. I guess I was not particularly fond of day 4 because kale was the green for that day. Days 6, 7 and 9 were also tasty. I made it through the cleanse with a few headaches but nothing that was unbearable. I even gave my group a name, Absoulsmoothly sistas getting it in: winning and losing at the same time! We lost a total of 37 pounds and counting. I decided to continue on the cleanse for three full extra days and then do the modified version that consists of two smoothies and a one healthy meal with snacks in between. I strongly recommend this cleanse to jump start your weight loss process.

Cheers for Green Smoothies!
