Vitamix blender

Hi
I am extremely overweight and looking to buy a Vitamix and use it to make smoothies.
Did anyone use it to lose weight and succeed!

It's going to depend what you put in the smoothies. Smoothies can be very high in calories and especially sugar.
I would just follow a more sensible eating plan, macro and calorie count etc, rather than rely on smoothies to lose weight to be honest.

I wouldn’t rely on just smoothies to lose weight. But you can add them into your diet. There’s tons of healthy smoothie recipes on Pinterest.

Smoothies can be very high in calories depending upon the ingredients.

I do WW and they count as points, but if I eat the vegetables and fruits instead, they don't have points.
It has to do with how your body processes - it does't have to work so hard to break down a liquid you drink, it has to work harder to break down an apple you chew.

The Vitamix is an awesome machine we love ours! If you are look f to lose weight just like others said this might have the opposite effect. For example I lost a ton of weight from ulcerative colitis and have a hard time eating...each morning my DH makes me a smoothie and in the past month alone I have gained 3lbs! He puts fruits and yogurt in it and a banana so you have to be careful on what you putting in the smoothie or you’re going to end up drinking a ton of sugar...I would recommend green drinks like spinach/kale carrots and some pineapple. There’s a bunch of drinks you can make to help with weight loss
Good luck :)

The Vitamix and the smoothies aren't what is going to help you lose weight.

You just need to eat less calories than you burn.

It is great for making green juices and soups
