D'Vida Pre-Made Smoothies, the 100% natural & low calorie meal replacement/snack!

Everyone is looking for a simple fast and healthy meal replacement or snack.   Now-a-days most products that are easy are loaded with preservatives and ingredients that most people can't read.  

Whether you're looking for a post workout drink, trying to slim down, or you're simply just looking for a healthy breakfast/lunch/snack, the d'Vida pre-made smoothies are LOW-GI, HIGH PROTEIN and non-GMO, the perfect addition to your pantry!

D'Vida offers pre-made smoothie sachets that are not only quick and easy to make, but are also healthy and nutritious! The d'Vida sachets begin with a proprietary, LOW-GI smoothie base, with all-natural ingredients and only the freshest fruits and vegetables. All products are non-GMO, gluten free and act as an excellent source of fiber and protein. 

D'Vida makes great party drinks as well.  If you love Pina Coladas, your guest will rave over the VideBOOST (Pineapple and Coconut) with fresh strawberries and bananas.   These Pina Coladas would make a great drink for bookclub, baby shower or throw them in a mug and drink them while watching your favorite football team play.  

These smoothies are so easy to make.  Open a sachet and add ice and water and blend.  For a different flavor or for more of a variety add your favorite fruit.  

I recently tried D'Vida Pre-made smoothies.  I was actually impressed with the flavor, it actually tasted like the real stuff.  I decided when I tried the smoothies to opt out of adding any ingredients to my drink so I could get the pouches original flavors.   I was very impressed.  I didn't feel like I needed to add anything.  You may enjoy adding more ingredients to get more fruit and vegetable servings but it isn't necessary.  My absolute favorite smoothie was the VidaBOOST which consists of pineapple and coconut.  There were actual coconut flakes in it.  It was amazing.  When I had finished drinking it I wished I could open another because the flavor was so good.   It did in fact leave me feeling fuller and better.  I drank it after exercising and found it helped give me another boost and left me feeling satisfied.


I was also impressed with D'Vida's different options.  You can purchase D'Vida VidaBOOST (pineapple and coconut),  VidaGREEN (cucumber, kale, green apple and spinach), VidaPUMP (Peanut butter and strawberry) and VidaSLIM (strawberry and banana).  Drink a smoothie based on your needs for the day and what you are trying to accomplish for your health.

D'Vida has also made purchasing simple and easy.   It is available to order on Amazon.   Grab yours today and start on a path to a better you.

Follow these steps to lose weight

I have lost 45 pounds since February 24 using Unicity's Balance and following some simple guidelines. Here they are:

1. Follow a 4-4-12 schedule. I drink a protein drink for breakfast and then 4 hours later have

   

   UNICITY Balance

   Balance and eat lunch. I wait another four hours and drink Balance before eating dinner. Then I fast 12 hours before eating breakfast again.  Research suggests we should eat within an 8-hour window; and never at night.
2. Don't snack between meals. Balance regulates your glucose and insulin so that you have no spikes and go into fat burning mode an hour after eating.
3. Eat a low glycemic index diet.  See Dr. Ray Strand's writings on the topic. Great recipes can be found in the many low GI cookbooks.  I also recommend eliminating processed sugar and flour from your diet entirely. 
4. Drink lots of water. I drink water instead of snacking.  Unicity has an energy drink called Macha that can be stirred into water.
5. Watch serving sizes. While Balance will give you a full and satisfied feeling, you should learn to measure your serving sizes and not go back for seconds. A plate might be 1/3 protein, 2/3 fruit and vegetables. 
6. Eat good fats and cook with olive oil, grape oil, coconut oil, etc. Eat raw nuts rather than salted nuts and limit the amount of nuts you eat daily.  They are a great source of good fat but add calories quickly. 
7. Plan your meals, including one meal a week where you will indulge your food fantasies.  This would be a good meal to eat out at a favorite restaurant. My wife and I always share restaurant meals and begin with Balance. Never take home leftovers. 
8. Exercise daily for 30 minutes.  Unicityvideos on YouTube has a number of exercise suggestions. 

If you have questions or suggestions, comment below. Eating healthy requires a lifestyle change; it's not a fad diet.

Create a total health plan

On Dr. Wayne Andersen's website is a health quiz. I took the quiz and got the following results:80–89 = Health Status: Healthy.

Here is what healthy means: Congratulations! You have a number of positive habits that have helped keep you free from disease and within the healthy range. But don’t get too comfortable—without constant vigilance and improvement, it’s all too easy to slip. Working to make even better choices can put you firmly on the path toward the best possible health you can achieve.

I'm going to take the quiz again in 3 months when I have lost 30 pounds. I'm not on a diet, but I have changed my lifestyle and am following Dr. Andersen's advice to follow a low-glycemic, portion-controlled approach to eating.

The statistics about dieting programs in the United States are pathetic: 85% of the participants will put the weight back on in less than two years. Dr. Andersen has authored Dr. A's Habits of Health which describes an optimal health plan, not only focusing on weight loss, but also establishing a lifelong pattern that will maintain healthy weight and eating.

Dr. Andersen recommends a color-coded shopping system. Dark green foods are lowest glycemic and are the best foods for weight loss and optimal health. Red foods should be avoided.

He teaches how to sleep better and reduce toxins in the body and home. He also suggests the NEAT system which makes small motions a part of our regular life patterns. For example, simply moving from sitting to standing can substantially increase energy consumption.
