Also, Vinnie demonstrates using Juanita's examples how low-calorie diets do not result in fat loss. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Villa Cappelli JUANITA PAGE In Kansas City, Missouri Had a mini-stroke which made her very health-conscious Bought a nutribullet and did the whole smoothie thing Worked out 6 days a week Lost inches, but not a pound Used to have an incredibly fast metabolism Trying to get back on the wagon Eating clean for Juanita meant no junk food, fruit from sugar Would have a smoothie with spinach, pineapple, banana, strawberries, flax seed Low cal type of eating didn't work for her really When you give up sugar and incorporate more fat makes you flatline but eventually will be good HIDDEN SUGARS IN 'HEALTHY' SMOOTHIES When you put fruit like pineapple and banana in a smoothie, then it is practically straight sugar and very high carb The nutribullet emulsifies the fiber into almost nothing Basically you end up just getting a glycogen spike You don't get the good fiber anymore DECIDING BETWEEN FATS How do you decide between good and bad fats? Really the only bad fat is processed fats Try to avoid trans-fat Sat-fats are NOT heart-stoppers Vinnie eats a super high fat diet and it is what keeps him healthy No cancer No cholesterol or triglyceride problem He is perfectly lean Great blood!
