    Do fruit and veg smoothies help with weight loss? I gained 3 stone the last six months simply by not drinking them. The thing i noticed was that i had given up drinking smoothies because of work and travel. The weight piled on and i noticed i was drinking more cans of soda and indulging in absolute crap. I don't carry a blender while traveling so this was one reason.
    I re introduced them today and cut my calories intake by 4000 to 2000 with no cravings.
    Am i right in thinking this was the cause of my weight gain?

    It wasn't down to not having the smoothies but because you replaced them with high calorie jun and ended up eating more calories.

    I agree. Probably you are getting carbs of lower quality, more fats. That's all.
