Being diabetic, and getting old.
I am considering purchasing a NutriBullet as seen on TV. What I would like to ask is:

Are they good for a diabetic lifestyle.

Do they fill you up?

Are they any good for weight loss?

Thanks in advance.
 
Don't read too much into this....it's a small cost-effective blender.

If you need a small cost-effective blender then it might be good to have.
If you do not think you'll need a small cost-effective blender then it might be good to avoid purchasing.
 
I looked at nutribullet but bought the Cuisinart sb3 soup maker in the end. It makes great smoothies, crushes ice, cook soup to perfection-better than any I've ever tasted and it cleans itself. It makes a little or a lot, which is another reason why I went for it due to me having to eat more liquid foods so needed larger quantities for me and hubby.
I generally make a big smoothie that lasts two days and makes 6 200ml glasses. I stuff everything in them. I drink two a day and hubby one so saves me having to do it every day...
Soup makes 6 small bowls or 4 large yogurt size containers. The fact it salutes the veg and cooks so effortlessly to me is priceless.
Then, well, as mentioned it cleans itself. Just 500ml of water, a splash of washing up liquid and two minutes heat and blend and it's clean. Repeat with clean water and done. No messing washing and drying.

It's the best kitchen gadget I have ever had. It gets used constantly and is perfect size for keeping out all the time.

Just remember to get some spare yogurt pots or 6 good size glasses etc for storing in fridge, there's good soup BPS free soup containers available in QD stores for 99p compared to Tesco's which are £4.50 for the same.

Are they filling.... Oh yes. I add 4 scoops of protein powder in to mine now when I make 4 or 6 glasses of smoothies just to ensure I get enough protein each day.

I've not had a nutribullet but the size and qty, soup cooking as well and self cleaning was the reason why I opted for the SB3 Cuisinart.
 
I'm trying to put weight on, so can't say about weight loss. That will depend on your ingredients... Ie I've been told to put icecream in my smoothies to try and put weight on, but, I have a very limited diet due to other problems.

A gadget can't in itself be good or bad for diabetic lifestyle or for weight loss, etc - it's the use to which you put it that would help (or otherwise) with this. So consider what you're wanting to use a Nutribullet for, and compare it with other similar machines to check for required features, best price, etc, to find the one that's most suitable for your needs and purse. @donnellysdogs has given you a great example of how she did this.
