If you are working on improving gut health, adding a
very small amount of banana flour to this smoothie helps with
insulin control and keeping gut probiotics happy.
So it's not that your fat - burning will turn «off» if you eat 1 almond, but that your body will either respond commensurately to the
small amount of sugar (and reduce your fat - burning
very slightly to be able to use that sugar, at which point it will increase its fat - burning back up) or it will overreact to any degree (dumping
insulin into your system and reducing your fat - burning levels disproportionately).
