So what I’m getting at is the power of FOOD. Most think exercise is what makes us fit and get rid of the fat. But it’s not. In reality, it’s 20% exercise and 80% of the food. The power of food is very real. It’s all up to what we put into our bodies.
What is REAL food?
Real food is anything that comes straight from the earth:
- vegetables,
- fruits,
- nuts,
- natural fats, like lard, ghee, and coconut oil
But there are so many variables to this and I won’t be able to touch base about it all. I only have this post.
Green Smoothies That Taste Good
So my focus is on GREEN SMOOTHIES. If you have a strong blender, then I recommend starting to replace 1 meal with a green smoothie. There are so many recipes out there you can try.
Smoothies are easy to mix up! Take a look at the chart below, courtesy of Green Thickies:
And this is just the beginning. Green Smoothies are so easy and flexible. Any mixture you do is a new creation! There are even green smoothie cookbooks!
You can’t go wrong. And you are putting so many nutrients into your body! You will start to feel so much better, I promise.
Personally, I also add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to add a boost of protein. Protein is super important to help give us energy and build muscle.
Make Green Smoothies A Habit
Since my journey, green smoothies have become a habit and part of my diet every day. I usually have one for breakfast and maybe an afternoon snack. The best part is that these can only heal and improve your body and how it functions.
There is no downside to green smoothies that taste good in my book.
So as I started doing the Lean Moms program, I started with a 7-day detox.
A detox is where you eat or drink only fruits, veggies, and natural fats for 7 days. No sugar, no processed foods! It’s harder than it sounds when EVERYTHING has sugar!
The first few days were hard. Your body is cleaning out all the toxins from your previous diet. Once you get past that, you immediately feel so much better. And by day 7, that’s when I really saw a difference in my weight loss.

I. Was. Shocked.
Just look at what 7 days did to my body. I lost 8 pounds and 8 inches off my body. I was a believer! And the best thing was it was a completely healthy way to lose weight! I felt so much better just after that week.
And that’s what I wanted. I didn’t want to just be thin. I wanted my body at its full potential! I moved onto the next phase of the program, which is a hormone-balancing diet. You put back more foods to eat and I was even allowed to have a cheat meal once a week.
It’s definitely doable but takes some planning. I have been pretty successful at sticking to it (minus getting pregnant and dealing with morning sickness). I just really have found that food is meant to help our bodies!
