Trainer Jo’s Review of Nutrilite’s Concentrated Fruits & Veggies
Well, I am one of those people who is very sensitive to my diet and any change. When I do not get any plants in my diet, or I get too much, my body lets me know in many ways within 2 days. Mostly in the form of cranial fuzziness and acne, and of course regularity.
One of the hardest dietary practices for me is getting in the recommended daily 9 servings of fruits & vegetables. When I try, I find myself spending what feels like an hour per meal just trying to chew. And no matter how sweet the flesh of the fruit, chewing gets old!
So when one of my fitness clients introduced to me this product, I was naturally at first skeptical. But after some research, Nutrilite won my heart and I gave the conentrated fruits & vegetables a try. I immediately felt the difference. No longer did I have room for my carbs and protein, I wasn’t spending an hour per meal (and I eat 5-6 times a day), trying to chew everything. Nor do I have to worry about veggies spoiling in the fridge when the get lost in the fridge.
The only thing you must take into consideration with this product is that if you do decide to take just this supplement, you still have to get your fiber ! You won’t be getting all that in this supplement. So do take into consideration this this is still “a supplement” and not “a substitution” for fruits and veggies. It is always better to get your phytonutrients from fresh, raw plants. So I suggest you take this product as a supplement to your normal daily phytonutrient intake. Like eat a piece of fruit or veggie with every meal, and take half the recommended dosage of Nutrilite’s Concentrated Fruits and Vegetables. This way, you still get the enzymes of the plant as well as the fiber.
