"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 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. -- "[xxx] has very definite opinions, and does not suffer fools lightly.

I demanded that there be absolutely no sugar added. |

Perhaps, they added high fructose corn syrup instead, technically that's not sugar. -- A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard. |
