From Sugar Into Fat in 4 Hours or Less?

It's Monday.

And if you're like me, you had a busy weekend and you don't have time to figure out what's for breakfast, let alone what's for dinner tonight.

By 8 O'clock you're running late and you grab the first thing you can find to eat or you pick up something quick on the way to work. And like so many people in America today, it could be coffee and a donut, a juice-like energy drink or something else sugary, made with a substance called, High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS).

Not a good thing for our bodies.

It's in nearly everything that is processed--in breads, cereals, fruit drinks, and so on. I read on the Internet that recent studies show it's a dietary evil that we all need to avoid in order to remain healthy. Through these studies, they discovered that HFCS dramatically encouraged lipogenesis -- the process by which the body converts sugar into fat.

In fact, people in the study who consumed a fructose-laced breakfast drink produced double the body fat within the next 4-hour period, compared with the people who had a glucose-only [sugar] breakfast beverage. I don't know about you, but I don't want to double my body fat--EVER!

And soooooooooo, that said, just how do we avoid this high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and/or processed foods, that might have it included, and still enjoy breakfast?

Simple--Have an Energizing SHAKLEE Soy Protein Smoothie.
[Already overweight? Make your smoothie with Shaklee's Cinch--part of our comprehensive weight management program]

Start with a couple of TBS of Energizing Soy Protein [natural vanilla or creamy cocoa]
Add 1/2 cup of berries [blueberries, raspberries, strawberries] or a **small banana--most any fruit tastes great
6-8 ounces of milk [soy, rice or almond milk is great]
Blend in a blender or Magic Bullit
(Takes about 3 minutes to create)
Drink cold

NOTE: It's good for the kids, TOO!

So you'll have your fruit, your essential protein, your calcium, and dozens of other Shaklee vitamins all in one drink. Your day begins well without extra sugar or caffeine.

(For even more benefits, add a serving of Shaklee's Optiflora Prebiotic Complex with FOS, insulin and gamma tocopherol for the healthy growth of intestional flora. Taken with Optiflora Probiotic Complex you have a guaranteed delivery of bifidus and acidophilus in a patented tripple-layer encapsulation.)

Avoid HFCS at all costs. Your waistline and your life may depend on it.
Blessings,
Linda
