There are many diets!
And yet some are not balanced or even unhealthy.
Try the green smoothie – losing weight when you are full is included.
With the long home office time due to the corona pandemic, many people's desire to lose weight is greater than ever.
The reason is, on the one hand, the reduced movement that people do on their way to work, but also the lack of sport, which many did not pursue during the lockdown.
In addition, some people have an unhealthy eating behavior that they got used to during the difficult times - and the pounds quickly fall on their hips than they can get off again.
While some now swear by lemon water to lose weight, the healthy, green smoothie may be just the thing for you.

Vegetable juices for losing weight have not just been around since yesterday, and yet the demand for them is currently particularly high.
Some are turning to carrots and ginger for weight loss with the carrot and ginger shake.
Frequently used in the course of everyday interval fasting, which is also recommended by nutritionists due to the positive effect on the intestines in chronic constipation.
Whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner - the green smoothie is ideal as a complete meal thanks to its balanced recipe, but has fewer calories than an average meal.
Why is it so balanced?
Spinach and oatmeal make it a real power drink.
With oatmeal you can lose weight anyway.
Additional blueberries in the shake provide the necessary vitamins.
The most important thing: it is made in-house.
So you know for sure what's inside.
Because bought juices are often very high in calories because they are rich in fructose.
The effort of preparing it yourself is worth it.
However, if you are not a fan of vegetables, you should try the coffee diet.
Lose weight: green smoothie with spinach and oatmeal replaces a meal
With a calorie content of approx. 20 kilocalories per 100 grams, spinach is a real slimming aid.
In addition, it contains so-called membrane systems in its plant cells, the thylakoids, which stimulate the release of the hormone GLP-1 in our body.
GLP-1 suppresses the feeling of hunger.
Thus, spinach is an all-natural appetite suppressant.
The healthy leafy vegetables are also rich in plant-based protein, B vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin K, and minerals such as magnesium and iron.

The fact that oatmeal is a good food for losing weight is due to the fact that the fiber it contains fills you up quickly and for a longer period of time.
Oats are also rich in minerals, protein, vitamins and iron, which helps prevent nutrient deficiencies during the diet.
