"Fruits are great for you!". Really?
 

I almost felt asleep in the bus within an hour after having a smoothie
made of banana and strawberries. Coincidence or is it my insuline? We
are bombarbed in the media with the "Fruits are great for you""
messages. If they are, then why are they killing me like this?

I'd guess it was insulin. How big was the smoothie?

I had a large one because I love the taste. :) About 2 1/2 cups.
Tonight I'm back to "safety" with tuna and green beans. I don't want
to gain back the water.

Hmmm...2 1/2 cups of smoothie has got to be c. 75 grams of carb,
depending on ingredients. One banana alone is 30 grams of carb. If
there's OJ in your smoothie, there's another 30 grams (assuming 8 oz of
juice). Strawberries and plain yoghurt are relatively low-carb, but they
still add some. Finally, if you bought the smoothy somewhere, I'd be
shocked if there weren't some sugar or honey in it.

No yogurt or juice. Just one or two bananas and strawberries. I
demanded that there be absolutely no sugar added.

No causality shown. Don't go weird on us.

Bananas have, on average, 30 grams of carbohydrate, each (assuming
they're not too large!). Most smoothie recipes that I've seen have
*some* liquid added, either milk or fruit juice; those are equivalent in
terms of carb content (though not in taste, obviously).

If it was from a health food place probably agave nectar.

Perhaps, they added high fructose corn syrup instead, technically that's
not sugar.
