Search Results: healthy ways to lose weight

My parents bought me a Nutribullet for Christmas because I'm trying to lose weight and get healthier, but my friend said that smoothies are bad because they have a lot fruit in the recipes and since it's sugar that it'll just make me fat. But I really want to use it just to see but the way she talks, it sounds like it it would just send me in reverse.

Anyone know if smoothies are good? It's not a juicer from what I can see, just a smoothie maker and it says I can add things like fruits, veggies, and seeds (almonds, chia, flax, etc.)

I don't plan on having a smoothie every day or for every meal. I'm thinking a smoothie after a workout would be nice or to drink on the way to work. I can add seeds and nuts in it for protein and make green smoothies, too.

I was really excited about it but now I'm doubting it.

I've always envy slim, fit women. I mean no matter what, I always get back to fat. I'm a 6'1 woman, large built woman, always been a big girl, thick, curvy (hourglass figure) and 225 (gained 7 pounds). I keep craving fat foods but I eat healthy. I'm never boring to be slender. All of my friends are slim and fit. Funny thing is they envy my thick hourglass figure. Why would slim, fit women envy me while it's easier for me to gain? I walk, and do aerobics. My family doesn't think I need to lose any weight. Some say because I'm tall and large built and I need to be healthy and happy the way I am. Grrrr
