Life changer for a fat guy.
I am midwest through and through. I have fought all matter of autoimmune diseases and obesity my whole life. While doctors have looked at the cholesterol, high blood pressure, and thyroid issues, in the back of my mind my whole life I have known the issue.
Deep down I have always known regardless of what a Doctor or anyone else says, the issue is I simply do not eat right. First, I hate fruit. Oh, I like jellies, jams, pie, and juice, but as far as pealing an orange or popping a strawberry, I just can't do it. I never have been. Too tart and the texture is YUCK! Some of the "leafy greens" that these diets recommend are eaten in such quantities that there is no way I could get my fair share of roast beef and mac n cheese while eating right, ya know?
But through life I have discovered I can drink just about anything. So with that, my wife and I gave the nutribullet a spin. I am 46 and, after diets, exercise, etc; i am ready to tell you this thing is a life changer. PERIOD. LIFE CHANGER!
So what does a fat guy that likes to eat do with this thing? Well, at the store they have something in the salad area called a "Wellness blend" of Kale, spinach, and a few other greens I can't pronounce. I take these and fill half way up the large cup, as directed. Then I take a banana, an orange, or maybe an apple on a given day, some blueberries, strawberries, other berries, etc, a handful of almonds, and whatever peaks my interest, filling up to the line, maybe a tick over on the solids. Then I squirt in some honey and fill to the "MAX" line with almond milk, water, or some form of fruit juice like apple or whatever.
Fire up the bullet and this mix, which I could never hope to eat because of taste, texture, and quantity, gets turned into this wonderful thick shake. The first one I made looked like vomit. I used so many almonds and apple juice that the color was way off, ew! Then the test. I drank it. OMG, it was WONDERFUL!!! So I play with mixtures and ingredients but the above is a pretty good start.
When I get home from work, the first thing I do is whip up another shake. Doing this, i can eat whatever I want for dinner with the family but I don't find myself eating nearly as much. I actually eat what the FDA recommends as a normal portion of whatever we have rather than overeating for a filling and therapeutic experience. A lot of the day to day pain I go through as well as autoimmune disorders and even allergies have been reduced or eliminated because of this product. I am losing weight and inches around the waist and the ONLY change has been the bullet.
This device goes to prove what I always felt was true; that we are not a country of obesity so much as malnutrition. The FDA's recommendation for fresh fruits and veggies is very high, so high that most do not even come close to eating it. Furthermore, the convenience factor has people drinking V8 juice or whatever and thinking that pasteurized stuff does the same thing; it does not.
If one buys this unit and literally leaves it on the counter, plugged in and ready to go, and uses it religiously, their quality of life will improve. It's that simple I have failed at diets and exercise all my life and to some effect I still do. BUT this thing, this wonderful device attacks a major root cause of all of my issues, malnutrition, and it attacks it in the most simplistic and direct way possible.
Just buy one!
