 Is there a difference between a smothiee maker and a blender? i want to make some smoothies and i fouond out in the internet some smoothie makers, but it looks lika a single blender....what i want to know is....the smoothie makers crushes the ice in a different way of the blender or my smoothie ice will be the same wether if i use a blender or a smoothie maker?? i just want the ice to be really crushed... thanks!!! I used to work in a coffee shop where they had smoothie makers. They were way better for crushing ice. I would try and make the same smoothies at home with a normal blender and the ice was never completely crushed. If your going to be making alot of smoothies with ice I would get a smoothie maker. |

Why Do We Overeat?
Most of us like to believe we control the amount of food we eat. We trust our body to tell us when we are full, and that after we finish, we have a good idea of how much we eat.
But that's not true. "Research tells us that certain subtle cues in our environment can lead us to serve more than we need to eat more than they should," said Luigi Gratton, MD , vice president of medical affairs at Herbalife. "The greatest dishes including silverware to use larger ones - can lead to excessive consumption." In an experiment in which participants served themselves ice cream:
Persons who received larger bowls and spoons were served 57 percent more ice cream than those with plates and silverware to serve smaller. So the amount we eat is usually decided before we have taken the first bite. The reality is that usually we eat what we serve, whether little or much. From a very abundant food in a fast food restaurant to a small part in a fancy restaurant, we were generally satisfied if we eat every last bite. Instead of letting your stomach decide, we allow an empty plate point to the end of the meal.
Controlling the amount you put on your plate is really the first step to controlling what we put into the stomach. But other signs may also cause overeating. Only see or smell food - from the smell of freshly baked bread to donuts - can stimulate the desire to eat, although you are not hungry.
Here are some ways to take control:
Think of a spoon, not a shovel! - It's an old trick, but it really works - using smaller plates and tall, narrow glasses create the illusion that there is more food on the plate and more drink in the cup.
Single servings - These large boxes of cereal at a bargain price protect your finances, but studies show that with cereal you serve as much as 20 percent more than if you buy a box of regular size. Also search individual sizes.
Sweets out of reach - Find ways to make it more difficult to consume unhealthy foods. You may not make the effort to bake brownies when you feel like eating, but if you have the version for the microwave, you have to constantly fight the desire. Instead, put a bowl of fruit out.
Put variety, but not too much - Studies show that the more variety you have on your plate, you eat more - all these stimuli activate your taste buds. A mixture of fruits and vegetables which are low in calories is fine, but when confronted with a buffet or a family dinner, just a couple of articles on your plate each time.
Shake - Try a protein shake for breakfast or lunch. Made with a given quantity of milk, fruit and protein powder is an ideal food to control what you eat. Add some ice cubes and shake it to increase volume without adding calories. Enjoy a tall glass.
