#1 Worst Smoothie Ingredient
Alright, so don’t laugh at me, but I have a subscription to, get this, Woman’s World magazine.
Why on earth would I do this?
Because it gives me a ton of ideas. They always have such bad advice in each issue that gives me three article ideas a week. I can’t keep up with all of the ridiculous things they say!
For example, last week they started out giving some decent advice about making a “green smoothie”…but then they butchered the advice by telling readers to put in the #1 worst traditional smoothie ingredient.
Do you know what it is? (And no, deep-fried Oreos are not a ‘traditional’ smoothie ingredient – ha!)
The answer is…
Orange Juice! (or juice of any kind…with ONE kind worse than others…)
What a terrible idea. That’s a proven way to ruin your fat loss program. Even though orange juice sales are tumbling, I’m still shocked when I see people order this at breakfast.
Here are the facts on orange juice:
– One glass contains 33 grams of sugar (over 25% of your daily recommended intake).
– A glass of orange juice is equal to drinking a glass of soda … it’s that bad for your belly fat.
– Orange juice has almost NO fat-fighting fiber.
– Orange juice probably makes you sleepy.
– Orange juice will leave you hungry in an hour, no matter how much you ate for breakfast.
Bottom Line:” Healthy” orange juice will ruin your fat loss program.
Even worse are “juice drinks” that contain only 10% real juice. Don’t let your kids drink this. These drinks are LOADED with the #1 worst carb ever — a nightmare carb that that money-hungry food industry is conspiring to sneak into just about everything.
In the end, this extremely common carb wreaks havoc on your fat-storing hormones in a MAJOR way, and has even been shown to hamper memory, slow brain activity, and increase your risk of Alzheimer’s.
==> The #1 WORST Carb EVER (don’t eat this)
Watch out!
Keep the added sugar out of your life…you’re sweet enough as it is!
