[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1803493, member: 459333"] Haha! The thing is though, I'm also thinking of the whole picture, and trying to reduce my appetite especially after a weekend of walking. Whatever is going on inside, having a pear didn't raise my blood glucose levels, and now that I've had my dinner as well, I actually feel full. This is a rarity for me. It wasn't exactly a huge dinner either. Allegedly the pectin in pears can turn the contents of your intestinal tract viscous which helps you feel full. I've tried other tricks like chia seeds and never noticed that effect. I'm probably imagining it, but I do feel it's worth another go tomorrow. I understand there may be things that I can't measure going on inside such as insulin spikes, but if it turns out that I can incorporate pears into my diet and the big picture means my blood glucose levels and my weight goes down, I'll take it.
