As a person who lost 18 pounds and who subsequently wrote a short book about the experience, I can tell you that one of the big problems dieters face is how to deal with snacks and hunger. What I do and recommend to others who are trying to lose weight is to start with a piece of fruit and if that proves to be less than sufficient, slice up some red bell peppers and munch on those with a little salt and pepper.Mr. Paul W. Bowman has come up with a better idea in his book "Help Me Lose Weight - Fruit Smoothie Recipes". The book consists of 147 recipes for great tasting fruit smoothies. The recipes are easy to prepare and an excellent way to get some fresh fruit into your body each day. With such a wide variety of choices it is impossible to grow tired of a particular taste.Here are some examples of the recipes: blueberry banana smoothie, raspberry apple banana smoothie, tomato avocado pineapple smoothie, vanilla date kiwi apple smoothie, grape mango banana smoothie, peach strawberry banana smoothie, fig green tea apple strawberry banana smoothie, papaya pineapple smoothie, just to name a few.The author is a teacher of martial arts and is a health and fitness expert. He is no doubt aware that about two thirds of the people in the United States are overweight, and half of those people are obese. Since about 90% of the people who try to lose weight eventually fail, having a healthy snack or alternative like these fruit smoothies would be a huge help for increasing that success level. Thanks to Mr. Bowman for coming up with this great idea and all these excellent recipes.
