I waited until I was hungry,\u00a0then downed an entire 14 oz smoothie (1.75 servings) + a glass of water (a recommended step), to see how effective it would really be at curbing my hunger.<\/p>\n<p>The answer: not very. It tasted good, but went down quickly&#8230;too quickly to register that I&#8217;d consumed a meal.\u00a0I started to feel a bit peckish after only about an hour. So, to take my mind off it, I decided to get up from the keyboard and go do some grocery shopping&#8230;big mistake. The minute I walked past the deli display the hunger pangs kicked in. The &#8220;Powerful Weight Loss Tool&#8221; I&#8217;d consumed held me less than\u00a0two hours.<\/p>\n<p>This came as no surprise, however, as there&#8217;s really very little to one of these smoothies. You could dupe one simply by adding Sugar-Free Nesquik and a spoonful of FiberSure to a glass of low fat milk, and chasing it with a Centrum or One-A-Day.\u00a0\u00a0And you&#8217;d do better with some\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/curvelle-review.html\" target=\"_blank\">Curvelle<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/isatori-mxls7.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lean System 7<\/a>, or an even more inexpensive supp like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drugstore.com\/applied-nutrition-green-tea-fat-burner-liquid-soft-gels\/qxp77691?catid=183237&amp;404=true&amp;dpid=201796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Tea Hydroxycut<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; vs. a non-specific blend like Appemine.<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, a &#8220;Right Size&#8221; smoothie could serve as a between meal snack or &#8220;fix&#8221; for a chocolate craving&#8230;but &#8211; in my opinion &#8211; it&#8217;s\u00a0ineffective as a\u00a0meal replacement and appetite suppressant.<\/p>\n<p>[usrlist &#8220;Taste:3.5&#8221; &#8220;Quality:3.0&#8221; &#8220;Efficacy:2.0&#8221; &#8220;Value:2.0&#8243; avg=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Right Size Hunger Smashing Smoothies&#8221; are the creations of the Right Size Health and Nutrition Corporation.\u00a0 They market\u00a0meal replacements (similar to Slim Fast, in principle), as well as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6,8,10,12,1,14],"tags":[22,46,304,238,243,310],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":635,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300\/revisions\/635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
