Its possible I guess that I may have been the only person on the planet NOT to have heard of Nutribullet , but I came across the word on facebook a while ago where someone in Tenerife (where I live normally) wanted to know where they could buy one. My first thought was fad diet thing, and maybe my first thought will turn out to be correct in the long run, but as im currently in the UK for a few weeks, I looked it up, was impressed by its promises of good nutrition so I bought one from ebay where they are about £25 cheaper than the high street or amazon.
Its basically a high powered blender, NOT a blender according to the americanised infomercial on youtube, but a nutrition extractor. Its a blender. But importantly for me its not a juice extractor. I know juice extractors have been all the rage for a couple of years and I do have one, but im not convinced they are a good thing. Sure you end up with a vitamin packed drink, but its also sugar/fructose packed and severely lacking any fibre, whereas this nutribullet thing liquidizes everything, hard veg like raw beetroot, carrots, stringy celery, nuts and seeds, there are no bits, it produces a very smooth smoothie but with all the fibre in there too.
So I started a nutribullet diet by accident almost, and in less than 4 weeks ive lost 17lbs. I started at 15.10 and now im 14.7 and down from a 22 to a fairly loose 18, even I can see the difference. I have 2 a day in place of breakfast and lunch or breakfast and dinner, and a meal of some sort. 3 times a week I go to a local Toby Carvery, but I make sensible choices, no potato or anything obviously greasy. They do really good Turkey breast so I have that and fill my plate up with veg, and a little gravy and its so delicious, and so cheap at £6.29 a head. I only drink soda water when im out (well, actually that's not totally true, if im not driving ill have a glass of red) and soda water is free at Toby so that's a bargain!
By next Monday when I return to Tenerife I will have been following this diet for 4 weeks. Im hopeful that a little more weight will have come off by then and my hubby who has not seen me for 4 weeks will have a bit of a surprise! Im also hoping that I can continue this regime as I do feel so much better for consuming a lot of fresh veg each day, something I don't normally have too much of. Im not looking to keep up such a rapid weight loss, in fact at my age (im retired) I do not need to be skinny, saggy skin is not a good fashion statement currently, but my circumstances of having to be in the UK for 4 weeks, and any lack of desire to enter a kitchen and cook for myself have resulted in this little gift to myself.
Is anyone else using Nutribullet? would love to know how you are getting on with it.
