 Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, LauriM. Raw pure honey is great. There isn’t really a daily maximum per se, but we wouldn’t recommend more than a tablespoon (15 ml) at a time (preferably much less). It is considered a “breakfast sweet,” and you can have one each morning. |
 LauriM 8 years ago | I like raw honey in my tea and smoothies. How good or bad is it and what is the maximum daily amount? |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Raisay. Polydextrose is artificial, but so far the benefits appear to outway the risks. |
 raisay 8 years ago | Thanks Ossis-Sharron. Is polydextrose safe as a natural sweetener (found in my chocolate bar)? |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Raisay. Erythritol is one of the sweeteners we recommend! Polydextrose is safe, though it is not natural.
Regarding soy lecithin, that ingredient is somewhat controversial, but the amount in chocolate is very small. |
| raisay 8 years ago | Is polydextrose safe as a natural sweetener? Also is soy lecithin ok? These two ingredients are in the chocolate I purchased. |

| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Raisay. The protein slows down the entrance of sugar from the fruit into your blood, so that there are no major jumps in your blood sugar or insulin. |
| raisay 8 years ago | How does it balance your metabolism? |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Raisay. This is done to balance your metabolism. |
| raisay 8 years ago | Why are fruits usually paired with a carbohydrate and protein in the meal planner? |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Raisay. Sweets at the end of the day are just according to the preferences of many of our Clubmembers. Fruits before lunch are similar issue. You can switch things around if you like. |
