Diet Shake Recipes To Lose Weight

by admin on May.15, 2009, under Healthy Meal Tips

Nothing can be quite as delicious and satisfying as a great diet shake, especially in the hot weather months that we are now “enjoying.”  Whether you choose to go to the mall and visit a nutritional supplement shop, so you can add supplements to your diet shake recipes or whether you prefer your diet shake recipes to contain just what you can get at the farm stand or grocery store; there are a million diet shake recipes out there.  It can also be quite fun to experiment with your diet shake recipes and add your own personal touches to your delicious creations.

One  favorite ingredients to add to any smoothie or diet shake recipes is low-fat yogurt.  No mater whether you are making a water-based (ice) shake or a dairy-based (2 % milk) diet shake recipe, a little container of yogurt can add a lot.  Yogurt adds a nice creamy consistency to your diet shake recipes, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you try it in your favorite smoothie recipe the first chance you get.

Here are five tried-and-true diet shake recipes.  Give them a whirl in your blender:

 

Strawberry-Orange-Banana Diet Shake Recipes

Some orange juice – about 2 cups or so

Some sliced bananas – 1 or 2

Some strawberries — a cup or so

Some ice – about a cup

A container of strawberry-banana low fat yogurt

 

Mandarin-Mango Diet Shake Recipes

Some mandarin orange pieces – 2 cans or so

Some cut up mangoes – 2 mangos is about right

Some ice – about a cup

Protein supplements from the nutrition store—follow the label directions

A container of mango-flavored low fat yogurt

 

Berry Berry Special Diet Shake Recipes

Some cranberry juice – about ½ a cup

Some apple juice — about ½ a cup 

Some strawberries

Some blueberries

Some raspberries

A banana

A container of strawberry or blueberry low fat yogurt

 

Banana-Chocolate-Vanilla Diet Shake Recipes

A cut up frozen banana

A teaspoon of vanilla

A cup of skim milk

A teaspoonful of Splenda

A teaspoonful of cocoa powder

A container of low fat yogurt—plain or vanilla

 

Coffee-Mocha Diet Shake Recipes

One teaspoon instant coffee

One teaspoon cocoa powder

One teaspoon of Splenda

Ice 

A container of vanilla or plain low fat yogurt

A powder protein supplement if you like

Regardless of which of the diet shake recipes you are making, the procedure is the same.  Just pop all the ingredients into your blender and turn it on.  Run the blender until the shake is the desired consistency, pour into a beautiful glass, and enjoy your homemade, healthy, nutrient-dense, diet shake recipes. Not only will it help with your weight loss; it taste delicious.

Learn to control your portions.

When dieting for weight loss one of the most common complaints is constantly feeling hungry. In order to help combat this, you might want to incorporate some of the following strategies into your dieting program. First of all, eat more high fiber foods. Whole grains, apples, pears, and lima beans are a great source of fiber as are many breakfast cereals. Easy does it however when it comes to fiber as it may be filling but there are some unpleasant side effects that may accompany heavy fiber eating (remember that beans are a good source of fiber). Try using a product such as Bean-o when consuming larger amounts of fiber. You might also try spreading your fiber intake throughout the day rather than consuming all your daily fiber at once.

Another method for feeling fuller when dieting is to drink plenty of water while dieting. Water provides an important service to the body and is very necessary when it comes to delivering all the nutrients where they need to go. Water also helps regulate your metabolism, which is very important to the dieting and weight loss process. Additionally, water will help you skin retain its elasticity so that your skin can go more easily back into place once the serious weight loss begins.

Learn to control your portions. We live in a world where portions are over inflated and super sized so often that we no longer know what an appropriate portion looks like. Restaurant meals are quite often more than adequate for at least two full meals and that is before salads, soups, appetizers, or desserts have been ordered. Learning to portion correctly can save you from over loading your calorie intake for the day massively. It can also help you get extra helpings of the lower calorie foods such as lettuce and other vegetables rather than taking such large portions of calorie rich starches or fried foods.

About two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight, and almost one-third are obese, according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001 to 2004. 

You need to lose some weight and it might surprise you to know that how much weight you need or want to lose is not an issue. It really doesn’t much matter whether you need to lose 10 pounds, 110 pounds or more….the process for losing weight is exactly the same for every pound that must be lost. Not only is the process the same but the formula for losing a pound is the same as well.

You have no doubt discovered that there are as many weight loss ‘experts’ as there are weight loss programs. You can find programs and gurus that will swear that counting carbohydrates is the only way to go and you will find programs and gurus that promise counting fat grams is the only way to go. You can find calorie charts and carbohydrate charts and fat gram charts everywhere. Some of them are even free.

We will be discussing the various weight loss options and then because you are an intelligent person you can choose for yourself what program will be the best one for you based on the facts that you will learn. 

Diet pills and physically altering surgeries are an option today. You have seen the ‘miracles’ of enormous weight loss by prominent people who have opted for these solutions. You will find out what those diet pills and surgeries are and the risks involved for opting for those solutions yourself.  We will cover all options in this blog.
