The comments about too much sugar and your pancreas producing insulin overtime are uninformed. Fruit doesn't cause blood sugar spikes with low GI numbers. They don't have a detrimental effect on blood sugar. I wonder how long we are going to see the "you're not getting enough protein" people? |
I would disagree with the above statements. Fruit does force your body to work harder to maintain stable blood sugar. One or two pieces of fruit are ok but when you stuff your face with it (eg. bananas) it's not healthy.
When I read yesterday that he felt a few hours of euphoria I took that to mean that he is loosing balance in brain neurotransmitters as a result of not enough protein and good fats in the diet. Euphoria or depression mean an imbalance in the brain , too much serotonin and not enough dopamine in this case. Insulin raises serotonin plus he is not getting necessary amino acids such as L-Tyrosine which would increase brain dopamine.
