Struggling To Lose Weight? You Probably Just Need More Greens!

Weight loss can be complex because our lifestyles, metabolism, underlying factors, environment, and well- pretty much everything is completely unique! Some factors of the science behind weight loss are the same though, no matter the person: calories in vs. calories out and getting the proper nutrients to keep your body working right and metabolism thriving. A common theme most nutritionists see when patients are struggling to lose weight is the lack of nutrient dense foods such as leafy greens, complex whole grains, seeds/nuts, fruits, etc… and hydration! These foods help the body get it’s necessary levels of vitamins and minerals and fiber to work at optimal levels. If you’re simply eating less and but not focusing on proper nutrient levels and foods you’re consuming: the chances of sustainable weight loss are far lower.

As we’ve written about here before, consistency is key with anything for sustainable, long-term results. Our bodies respond well to change when we get them into a new, healthy routine by allowing it to get used to a consistent routine especially when introducing new foods and or supplements into our lives. The biggest challenge with many people is time and effort. Sometimes it’s easier to not buy a bunch of vegetables and try and make different concoctions to get all of your daily greens in; we get it! That’s why we decided to create just the thing for you!

How Greens Aid In Weight loss: 

Greens are low in calories and carbohydrates and loaded with fiber. Eating leafy greens is a great way to increase the volume of your meals, without increasing the calories. Super greens also aim to provide lots of nutrients that are vital in our daily lives. Aside from supplementing the vitamins and metals that boost immunity and are required to keep our bodies going, they also contain digestive enzymes and proteins which many of us lack in our regular diets. These help us efficiently break down food so that nutrients can be properly absorbed into the bloodstream, which means you can now make smarter choices in your diet and minimize carb heavy foods while still gathering all the energy that your body requires.

The fiber will allow your digestive system to work more efficiently in eliminating waste and excess bloating and pounds. Fiber encourages our metabolism to become more active, which is key to burning some of that extra fat and maintaining a lean body. Taking super greens also makes for great alternative low-calorie snacks which can help reduce the number of calories you consume in a day and ensure that they are burnt off as energy rather than stored as fat.

Research has shown that the average human can store up to 10-15 pounds in their intestines alone due to a build up of waste (even if you are regular!). This blend of greens also has natural prebiotics that will help you absorb probiotics and nutrients in your GI Tract and keep things functioning properly. Weight loss as a result of this is abundant and you may also notice your energy levels going up, chronic pain decreasing, and skin clearing too as gut inflammation goes down. That’s a bonus!
