What is it about green smoothies...

...that helps one release weight? I know the raw diet in general promotes weight loss, but do green smoothies do anything, specifically?

Green smoothies boost the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. This helps you digest and absorb the nutrients in your food better. When you get more nutrients from your food, you feel less hungry (because you are better nourished). You can get more nutrients eating less calories once your digestion is in good working order.

The greens also help alkalyze your body.

Because of my high metabolism I always feel hungry after a green smoothy. I stopped doing that a couple of months back and just stuff my face now. Makes me feel a wee bit fuller.
