Have been enjoying smoothies for breakfast but realized the fruit is too much for me- my appetite goes crazy the rest of the day.  That’s because fructose, even the natural in fruit, can make some peoples’ pancreas (like mine) produce too much insulin.

 Too much insulin makes the body think it’s in a famine. As a result your appetite can go out of control. Then  more of what you eat is stored in the fat layer to protect against the “coming famine”.

It seems I need protein first thing every morning, then maybe a smoothie later with more vegetables than fruits. I need to limit myself to  just one fruit a day. Many of you could be trying to slim down by eating more fruit, and having a similar experience, so that’s why I’m sharing this info.

So, I was looking into some healthy proteins, particularly soy, to start the day with. What I learned is that many of the so-called “natural” soy products are bathed in something called HEXANE.

This seems to be a great  joke played on those who are trying to find healthy alternatives to meat.

I’m not laughing, though. You might not think it’s too funny either, once you learn about hexane. CLICK HERE

Soy is a great food, when it’s processed without hexane. Problem is, manufactuers seem to be willing to do anything and everything to our food if it widens their profit margin.
