Smoothies provide an easy way to consume a high number of nutrients at once. Yet they can also be detrimental to weight loss and overall health depending on their ingredients. If smoothies are part of your fast weight loss regimen with Phentermine 37.5mg, learn what can happen from excessive intake.
Serious Calorie Consumption
Drinking a smoothie in addition to eating a big breakfast means you’re consuming a large amount of calories early in the day.
“Adding smoothies to your meals may result in too many calories and weight gain,” says Brenda Braslow, MS, RDN. “Tune into the calories in a smoothie and make sure it fits within your daily calorie budget.”
Satiation Issues
You might have problems feeling full if you constantly replace meals with smoothies.
“If smoothies are often used as meal replacements, they may not be as filling as a regular meal,” says Jerlyn Jones, MS, RDN. “That’s because at least part of feeling full and satisfied comes from chewing food thoroughly. Chewing is an important part of the digestive process and helps produce enzymes to break down food.”
Stomach Problems
Stomach pain can even result, which can interfere with exercise plans.
“For some people, having a large number of raw fruits and vegetables all together can overwhelm their gastrointestinal system,” says Marysa Cardwell, MS, RDN. “If you are having any digestive upset after your fruit and veggie-packed smoothie, you may want to lightly steam some of your veggies before blending. Too much fiber all at once can also be hard for some digestive systems. If this is you, you may want to dial back some of the fiber content of your smoothie.”
