I'm going to explain all the wonderful details about the Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothie but first click the subscribe button below so that you may receive videos So let's start from the beginning. Your weight is influenced by three main factors. Number one your age. Number two how many calories you burn off through physical activity. And last but not least number three how many calories do you eat during the day. I started eating healthy about 10 years ago for four reasons. One to avoid high cholesterol. Number two to maintain a healthy weight. Number three to keep my blood pressure normal. And number four to stay as far away as possible from any form of diabetes. And so far knock on wood at age 65 my doctors have me on no prescription medications for any of those ailments. So let's get into what this video is about the Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothie. The cucumber turns out to be a fruit and not a vegetable which is what I originally thought it was. I don't know if you knew this but the cucumber is low in calories but high in water and contains important minerals and vitamins. A cup of sliced cucumbers contains only 14 calories. The current diet food guidelines for Americans says that we should be eating between two and a half to three cups of fruits per day. So when you're creating your version of the Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothie you have some decisions to make. Because the cucumber is low in calories you have two excellent options when it comes to meeting your minimum daily requirements when it comes to eating fruits. Option one is a light version of the Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothie. Check this out three cups of cucumber slices blended into a smoothie. Spice with your favorite seasonings cinnamon or rosemary. I do one or the other. And if I really want to bring out the taste of the cucumber I add half a cup of plain yogurt. And remember to add water based on the consistency you want your smoothies to have. Now keep in mind that's how I used to make my Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothies back nine or ten years ago when I first started eating healthy. I've learned a lot about healthy eating since then. As a result I try to pack in as many nutrients into the Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothie and here's why. Even though the goal is to lose weight especially because the goal is to lose weight it's important that our everyday meals include the five dietary food groups. Vegetables, fruits, proteins, whole grains, and dairy products. And what about you? Do you include the five dietary food groups in your daily eating? Leave a comment below yes or no and if you want to say more please do. The Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothie now includes 10 different food items, covers three of the five dietary food groups, and is still low calories. Another reason why the Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothie works is because the dietary fiber that's contained in the fruits, vegetables, and seeds. According to a government source dietary fiber adds bulk to your diet causing you to feel full faster. For me the Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothie is practically a meal that helps me control my weight. It's low in calories, covers three of the five dietary food groups, plus it's rich in dietary fiber which helps me feel full faster. Even though the Cucumber Weight Loss Smoothie is about losing weight it does its part helping me keep my cholesterol and blood pressure under control. Give it a shot.
