However, it should be said that replacing all or continuous meals with smoothies is not recommended.
The main reason for this is that you might get too few calories . In addition, the weight you lose through a smoothie diet is often only temporary. Eventually you will regain all your lost weight. This makes a smoothie diet a form of a yo-yo diet; a diet that brings more disappointment and danger than happiness.
So instead of a smoothie diet you better go on a ‘real’ diet, but one that goes with smoothies. For example, only have a smoothie for breakfast, and eat normal meals during lunch or dinner. Or use smoothies in between to keep you feeling full until your next meal. But don’t replace all your meals with it!
