Greens powders are not a substitution for fruits and vegetables.

Look, greens powders are highly popular right now thanks to social media. Many people think this is a solid solution to not eating enough produce, but you are essentially buying a powdered multivitamin.

Thanks to the successful marketing, many consumers have been influenced to believe they can’t start their morning without their scoop of AG1… that’s simply not the case.

They aren’t evil – they just aren’t a substitute for the real thing.

It’s better to get your micronutrients from real fruits and vegetables for a number of reasons: feeling satiated with increased food volume, soluble fiber, polyphenol, antioxidants, adds variety to your diet.

I suggest to get your labs done and supplement as needed. No need to spend $ on this product if you have a well-rounded diet and good blood work.

Body fat and why it’s important.

A recent report published in The Lancet highlights a concerning trend: globally, 1 in 8 individuals are now classified as obese, surpassing a staggering 1 billion people. This alarming statistic underscores the heightened risks of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease faced by those grappling with excess body fat.

Obesity is now the #1 form of malnutrition on the planet. The situation is particularly shocking in the United States, where over 40% of adults battle obesity.

One of the most alarming statistics I’ve seen recently is that childhood obesity rates have tripled over the past three decades. Now, over 20% of children under 19 years of age are grappling with obesity.

The most proven statistical way to fight childhood obesity, is by setting the example and being in shape. Take control of your life now.

Chobani Complete.

Passes The Test at 170 calories, 20g of protein.

I’m really impressed by this yogurt drink – not only due to the macros, but also because it has 3g of fiber and 0g of added sugar. Any of the sugar in this product is coming from the lactose or from fruit. There is real fruit in here and it tastes amazing.

I would definitely recommend trying this product out!
