Why? Because fruits contain fructose, which causes weight gain, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease and is as addictive as cocaine (according to Dr. Lustig). This could not be further from the truth. Think about it, the sugar in FRUIT is going to cause all these diseases. If you think this and afraid of fruit for these reasons, you need to have a serious talk with yourself. 🔹 Maybe if we took in excessive amounts when we are in a hypo-metabolic state, come from low carb dieting, etc where are body is already converting sugar to fat. Of course you are going to see symptoms and have some negative results. But, is it the fructose or the metabolism it is being introduced to? 🔹 Research shows that the use of fructose with a controlled food frequency actually causes weight loss, not weight gain. Why? Because once fructose is SLOWLY introduced to the body, it is converted to glucose for energy storage and uptake by your 37.2 trillion cells. Fructose is very thermogenic, does NOT stimulate insulin which improves glycemic control. It is almost impossible to find fructose by itself in nature. It is usually paired with glucose, such as most fruits which is called SUCROSE (fructose + glucose). This is very important and even more regulating to the system because fructose inhibits the insulin spike by glucose. Meaning, we have controlled secretions of inulin and buffers against low blood sugar. 🔹 FRUCTOSE FACTS: 👉🏻Fructose can enter our cells to be used as energy, without the aid of insulin. Thus, it is a perfect treatment of diabetics. 👉🏻Fructose aids in clearing glucose from the blood 👉🏻Fructose down regulates the conversion of protein to sugar (gluconeogenesis) 👉🏻Fructose promotes the oxidation of glucose 👉🏻Fructose has been shown to repair the beta cells of the pancreas #wearefood #eastwesthealing #restorationthyroid #realfoodgangstas #consciousnutrition #fruit #fruitsandroots #fructose #glucose #sucrose #weightloss #fructosefriendly #fruitisyourfriend #sugar #weightloss #diabetes #insulinresistance #hypoglycemia #hyperglycemia #hypothyroid #hypothyroidism #Thyroid #thyroidhealth

The GOOD: Fruits are an anti-oxidant, pro-hormone, support #cholesterol and thyroid hormone production. They contain disaccharide's (fructose + glucose) which are very important when paired together. Fructose not only is able to be stored in the liver for energy and thyroid hormone production, but also inhibits the insulin spike by glucose. This equates to a food that assists in regulating blood sugar. * The MYTHS: Fruit does not make you fat, does not give you diabetes, fructose is not HFCS. If any MD or practitioner tells you any of the above…RUN 🏃🏻 * The BAD: There are none! They DO NOT cause fermentation (starches do), the do not cause SIBO (starches do) and they do not make you fat (starches do). Starches meaning any type of grain, bread, pasta, bean etc, not roots. * RULES: Always pair with a protein, never eaten alone, short term energy source and MUST be ripe. If not ripe, must be cooked down. #fruit #fruitsandroots #fruitisfuel #sugar #thyroid #hypothyroidism #wearefood #consciousnutrition #restorationthyroid #eastwesthealing #eastwesthealing

Had an awesome cycling session this week at @theridecycling 🚴🏽🚴🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♀️and enjoyed some amazing juice from @fruitsnrootsjuicebar! 🍵😍 Cycling is a great way to get your heart rate up and release endorphins that make you feel good. 🤗Plant based juices are great because they help to detox your body and give you nutrients that were loss during exercise (sweat). ✅ ________________________ #tropicalsmoothieguy #fruitsandroots #theridecycling #lasvegaslocal #lasvegaslocals #summerlinlv #summerlinnv #vegaslocal #vegaslocals #lovejuice (at The Ride Premium Indoor Cycling)

Sugar (#fruitsandroots) allow us to produce energy, that's why we have energy after eating them. Of course in balance with P and F. #sugar #wearefood #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas
