JUANITA PAGE
- In Kansas City, Missouri
- Had a mini-stroke which made her very health-conscious
- Bought a nutribullet and did the whole smoothie thing
- Worked out 6 days a week
- Lost inches, but not a pound
- Used to have an incredibly fast metabolism
- Trying to get back on the wagon
- Eating clean for Juanita meant no junk food, fruit from sugar
- Would have a smoothie with spinach, pineapple, banana, strawberries, flax seed
- Low cal type of eating didn’t work for her really
- When you give up sugar and incorporate more fat makes you flatline but eventually will be good
HIDDEN SUGARS IN ‘HEALTHY’ SMOOTHIES
- When you put fruit like pineapple and banana in a smoothie, then it is practically straight sugar and very high carb
- The nutribullet emulsifies the fiber into almost nothing
- Basically you end up just getting a glycogen spike
- You don’t get the good fiber anymore
DECIDING BETWEEN FATS

- Really the only bad fat is processed fats
- Try to avoid trans-fat
- Really the only bad fat is processed fats
