The Verdict on Drinking Smoothies for Weight Loss, Say Experts

"maybe" -seriously. "it depends" and "maybe" with a side of "yes, but then again no, depending"

A one liner in this is (paraphrased) "beware the hidden calories" --basically jacking up your calorific intake not thinking about the other things coming along with the fibre and yummy taste.

I totally do not respect any post which has "fat burning" so "...Berries contain the phytochemical C3G, which increases fat metabolism and suppresses appetite. And naturally sweet cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar and reduces body weight and belly fat, helping to prevent obesity. ..." is squeeking in.

What's the verdict on feeding from gigantic carafes of oil for solo ocean crossing in a bathtub?

If I mix it into my peanut butter, does this satisfy the recommendation not to drink my calories?
