We all get cravings for a treat from time to time.

Unfortunately, these ‘treats’ often come in the form of a candy bar, a frappuccino, or fast food…

And while these foods may satisfy you in the moment, they could leave you feeling worse after and slow down your health and weight management goals.

This is where having a go-to smoothie recipe can help. The burst of flavor and cold, refreshing texture gives your brain the same ‘treat’ feeling. And they’re actually good for you!

Here’s a great combination of slim-down smoothies for when the cravings really kick in: One for the morning to get you out of bed and fuel your day and another to pick you up in the afternoon so you can finish strong.

Let’s get to the recipes!

I’m sure you’ve seen ads with phrases like this…

“I pooped out 19 pounds!”

“You have 20 pounds of stuck poop inside you!”

“I can’t believe how much poop was coming out of me after taking this pill.”

These claims are usually made by probiotic companies looking to hook you and then get you to spend your hard-earned money on false hopes.

And I can understand the appeal of these claims.

I wish losing weight was this easy. I mean how amazing would it be if losing 20 pounds was as simple as pooping out “stuck poop?”

The truth is it’s not that simple. Our research team at Stonehenge Health did their due diligence, and we could not find anything to back up these claims.

If you did have “stuck poop,” you’d have a very serious medical condition and need to be hospitalized.

The most frustrating part of these false claims isn’t even that some of these companies have real doctors backing them…

It’s the disappointment people who purchase them feel when they see no return on the scale after using them diligently. Even if they begin pooping more.

You’re pooping more because many of these products simply contain ingredients that have a laxative effect but don’t change the bacteria in the gut to support a healthier gut environment—which is why the weight loss is temporary (and by temporary, I mean the minute you leave the toilet).

Now the average poop can weigh up to one pound. And the longer poop stays in your intestines, the drier and harder it becomes. This is why, although there may be an immediate drop in weight on the scale after a bowel movement, that doesn’t mean it’s actual fat loss. It’s simply the weight of the fecal matter.

The majority of your feces is water (about 75%). The remaining is made up of things like undigested food particles (hello, corn), bile, dead cells, and much more.

Now, you may be wondering:

Well, when someone does lose weight, where does the fat go?

Here’s a quick science lesson.

Mature fitness woman tie shoelaces on road.

Your body has billions of fat cells. As you burn fat (when your body needs it for energy), you’d assume you lose those fat cells, right? Nope. The number of fat cells in your body remains virtually the same… forever.

Each fat cell simply gets smaller. Weight loss is your fat cells shrinking. Weight gain is your fat cells becoming more enlarged.

Hence why, again, it wouldn’t make sense to believe you can “poop out pounds” like these ads are proclaiming.

So what is the connection between poop and weight loss?

Pooping anywhere from 3 times a week to 3 times a day is normal. However, it’s human nature to want to be pooping on a daily basis because it feels good. Pooping reduces gas and bloating, which is why pooping can be a very satisfying and cleansing feeling.

So, let’s move away from companies using false claims about poop and weight loss and move to the truth about the digestive system and weight loss.

Here are the facts.

When your gut is overrun with bad bacteria, an imbalance called dysbiosis occurs. Dysbiosis can affect your ability to have regular bowel movements daily and be the reason you’re struggling to lose weight.

A healthy, balanced gut microbiome aids digestion, boosts metabolism, and supports healthy weight management. So, the ultimate goal is a complete evacuation of the bowels daily because you have a healthy gut with good bacteria that supports both healthy digestion and weight loss.

And with the right probiotic supplement, like Dynamic Biotics+ for Women, you can boost digestion while supporting fat loss.*

Especially since it contains HOWARU® Shape Bifidobacterium lactis B420™ a probiotic strain, which has been clinically studied for its ability to reduce abdominal fat and keep the waist trim.*

It also contains 24 Diverse probiotic strains and 70 billion live probiotic cultures to boost digestive health and help improve digestion and regularity, so you’ll be less bloated and have less gas.*

Also added to Dynamic Biotics+ for Women is Chromax^Ⓡchromium picolinate, which has been shown to help insulin regulate blood sugar levels to support your body in fat loss while maintaining lean body mass.*

So if you want to improve your digestion AND lose weight try it with a science-based approach instead of clickbait claims with no scientific evidence.
