    I totally support people drinking smoothies and shakes to lose weight, but let’s not forget a few important key notes in the “weight loss game”: 1) diet, eat a balanced and fresh diet free of preservatives, without over-eating, and 2) exercise: this is how excess calories stored as fat are burned. DIET AND EXERCISE!
