What’s up Galera! Once again it’s O Rei, and I’m again transferring over my old blogs to my new blog. I have since helped dozens if not hundreds of people lose weight through Capoeira and diet. I was initially experimenting with the Greeen Smoothie diet. It was awesome.
Since then, I have done the keto, paleo, and just a well balanced diet. I think it’s great to integrate in Green Smoothies in your well balanced diet, so here is the old blog about the Green Smoothie diet. Enjoy…
As many of you all know, I am finishing my new book, “Capoeira Over 40: How to be successful when starting Capoeira at a later age”. It started as free video series that uncovered too many other issues. I had to chronicle it and wrap it up in a nice easy read.
In my diet chapter, I will be covering many different healthy active lifestyle diets: low carb, high carb, Paleo, and others. I am currently exploring Green Smoothie diets. This is a very refreshing option, and though I don’t believe that one diet is right for everyone, adding Green Smoothies to your regimen definitely has benefits.
I am not trying to lose weight personally. I just want eat healthier and and explore other diet options for longevity. When I first started training Capoeira, I dieted and lost 20 pounds in two months. Over the years, I still lead a very active life, but I got spoiled with my Capoeira metabolism, and am still able to look good and wolf down a greasy burger and fries a couple times a week. Throw in a pizza, and some fried chicken, and that is a bad combination.
The consequences of a bad diet are not always visible. High cholesterol, hypertension, etc. So here I go on a diet research journey. I’ve uncovered some very good information. If you would like my Free Report on Green Smoothies Click Here

Best Foods For Slimming Smoothies
Berries
Berries are the best sources of fiber. Not only does it promote weight loss, but also helps with food processing. Raspberries have a high content of fiber – approximately 8 grams per cup. It also contains ellagic acid, an anti-cancer property. Blueberries contain 4 grams per cup and helps you keep a good memory. Strawberries, which is a favorite fruit for the smoothies contains 4 grams of fiber.
Nuts
This is something that you didn’t think of putting in your smoothie. Besides the oily and earthy flavor, they are rich sources of unsaturated fats necessary for the heart’s health. According to a recent study, it shows that eating nuts can add daily nutrient, and of course, add another two and a half years of living. The best choice for smoothies are the walnuts as it contains the highest levels of alpha-linolenic acid. The ALA is a healthy omega-3 fatty acid that is vital to heart health. They also have a high content of mono and polyunsaturated fats. These fats can reduce the levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol while stabilizing the “good” HDL cholesterol levels. Make sure to add walnuts to your smoothie.
Oranges
It is a fact that oranges are the best source of vitamin C. Therefore, one single orange or a huge glass of orange juice embraces a high daily dose. It is already a pretty common knowledge that Vitamin C plays a huge role in fighting off infections, but they don’t know why. Vitamin C produces antibodies and white blood cells that fight off infections. As a powerful smoothie flavor, oranges have great citrus taste and has a natural sweetness.
Yogurt
This has always been an essential ingredient. In fact, it is vital in smoothies. Yogurt has always been a “good bacteria” to maintain digestive tract and gut health, which diminishes or reduces intestinal illnesses as a result of aging.
Kiwi
This is one of the tastiest flavors that works well with smoothies. Kiwi contains high levels of Vitamin C. The black seeds dramatically adds a fashion and flair to the smoothie drink. It weighs about 4 ounces and are 3 inches long.
Power foods for slimming smoothies encourage weight loss. Since they are low in calories and are high in energy, they are great in providing great nutritional support.
