The Fruit-Smoothie and Other Health Food Myths

Follow the Arrow to the Fruit-Smoothies!

This scene plays out tens of thousands of times a day across the country: Your typical “health nut” with the best of intentions, slams down a shot of wheat grass (whatever the hell that is), and promptly chases it with a whopping 785 calorie, carb-o-bomb “fruit smoothie” before hobbling over to yoga class in a pre-diabetic stupor.

And this is what many of us are being told is healthy! Be afraid, I am.

From the bars, juices, smoothies, the “lite” this to the sprouted that, fact is “health foods” are not always as they seem.

We love anything that looks like a healthy-alternative to sitting down and eating. That’s the origin of the “sugar bomb” juice-smoothie and has fueled the explosion of calorie-dense “nutrition bars.” The good news is people are trying to replace the drive-thru.

But like most people, you too may be too busy to eat three—let alone four, five or six—healthy, hand-made, balanced meals a day. Who’s got the time? I mean really, eating healthy can be a downright an energy draining pain in the ass.

You do what you can to get by for breakfast—which usually means a cup of coffee and all too often some quick-carbs, adding “insult to injury,” as the saying goes. You may even resort to snacking, energy drinks or more coffee throughout the day. Around lunch you settle for whatever takes the least time and wish you could treat yourself better.

You have no real plan, no strong daily rituals to ground, so you make it up—moment to moment—as you go along. And that is the perfect recipe for gradual but steady weight gain.

Why? Why can’t we do better, eat better?

Time. Time is a major issue for most people on the way up in life—it drives us to make decisions we’d otherwise do differently. Heck, fast-food didn’t become a $200 billion annual business because it’s so delicious and energizing!

In each moment, each decision made several times a day, it makes perfect sense. Putting your body “on-hold” while you’re busy getting more urgent (if not important) stuff done to “make-it” in life. But the logic is fundamentally flawed.

Skipping meals and feeding yourself poorly has a dramatic and damaging impact on your body, your energy, your ability to think straight, your concentration and focus as well as slowing your metabolism to a slow crawl.

Day by day, brick by brick, you’re adding ounces that turn into pounds, carrying weight and habits that rob you of energy, strength and the freedom to enjoy the life you’re working so hard to have.

What I’m talking about here is living far below your capacity – a silent suffering that is not something a salad now and then is going to resolve.

Fact is life is lived NOW.

Waiting until you have “more time” to enjoy it, to live it, to be at Full Strength in your body, mind and soul is living life backwards. You’re sacrificing health and the very currency of life, the energy you really need for results in the hopes that you’ll get a chance later.

It’s the daily, deeply nourishing ritual that can break you free from the waiting, the hoping and gets you in the game—living with the confidence, clarity and energy NOW.

The Full Strength Story

In early 2005, frustrated, furious and focused I set out on a mission. My goal was to end the waiting, to bring the future to the present and create the super-food of the future – one that would energize your body, uplift your mind and mood, keep you soaring for hours without any hunger cravings and deliver that hour of more of freedom every day. .

The result of 14 months of steady, focused effort, over a million dollars invested, 57 formula revisions, 18 “final checks,” and even 5 graphic design teams were required to build the packaging (yes, I’m a perfectionist and really impatient!), is Full Strength: “The World’s First, Fast Performance Food.”
