I Lost Over 20lbs Drinking THIS SHAKE Almost Everyday For 12 Weeks

Did that shake also give six pack abs?

[@chrispudd1815]

What’s the macros and calories with this quantity

[@godlikemachine645]

@@You-sw7tm effectively, yes, since abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym. Everyone has abs, but to get them to show, you need a low enough bodyfat percentage. The best way to get there, is through a mixed use of diet and cardio. But you can get abs with just diet.

@Jake then how come all my clients have had fat loss success doing this? How come I can get to 10% body fat by doing? Yes all those things u said r true but they don't matter that much until u get to about 10%, and most people don't care about going below 10%.

Make your ice cubes out of that low calorie almond milk, it will taste 100 times better without all of that water.

[@TheDietChef]

Nice idea

[@leeroderick]

@@SkyZer0 and it literally tastes better than water if you find water boring. It literally contains almonds, calcium carbonate, Sea Salt, Potassium Citrate, Sunflower Lecithin, Gellan Gum, and natural vitamin E. Maybe that's what that white stuff is, essentially. One of the many reasons people struggle to lose weight is that they cannot easily break free from what they perceive as "flavor". We've been programmed to enhance everything we eat or drink our whole lives. If almond milk helps "tip the scale" in favor leading a healthier lifestyle, let the "white water" flow free.

[@cinnamongirl3070]

[@joyfulsongstress3238]

Interesting recipe. I think I'd rather use an avocado than a banana. Of course I'd have to add some sweetener to compensate. Besides being on keto I am also on a candida cleanse diet, so I really need to eliminate as many carbs as possible.

[@Davidsworldtravels]

Yes that’s way better. Maybe some monk fruit or peanut butter to sweeten it.

[@maidenminnesota1]

I've found overripe avocados taste like overripe bananas without the starch and sugar. That would be my choice. (BTW: avocado freezes beautifully). It also means you can use them, rather than toss them out, if you miss that seemingly 30 minute window when they're good 😉. As for that chocolate syrup, you are not wrong! It's absolutely vile!

[@violapastuszyn1349]

I don't have luck with freezing avocados myself BUT the packaged frozen avocado chunks are ideal for smoothies. Maybe they're flash-frozen or something so it works better.

For someone who's trying to lose weight, keto or not, it's still the calorie deficit that matters at the end of the day. A banana has less calories than an avocado which lowers the total calories so it makes sense. Plus, he's using it as a preworkout shake, so a minimal amount of carbs for muscle glycogen is probably a net positive.

[@TinasArtPage]

@@bribradt3450 actually for a diabetic a banana causes a massive spike which kicks us out of ketosis

[@bribradt3450]

This looks unhealthy. I’m willing to bet there are “natural flavors”, various gums, sucralose or some other artificial sweetener that all cause the same glycemic spike as regular sugar except monkfruit, and god knows whatever else they put in that stuff. Also, you lose weight through a calorie deficit. If you’re burning more calories than you’re consuming then you’ll lose weight. But what you fuel your body MATTERS. As we’re all coming to realize when it comes to studies on gut health and how processed foods wreck havoc on it. I think what you made looks tasty but, it’s irresponsible on your part to advertise this as a weight loss magic shake.
