Understand Insulin and you will understand why it is so important to keep your blood sugar levels under control.
Insulin - Definition: A hormone secreted by the pancreas which plays a vital role in carbohydrate metabolism. When blood sugar rises, insulin acts to cause certain cells of the body to take in glucose, primarily the liver and fat cells.
By decreasing carbohydrate intake you lower blood insulin levels and increases the body’s ability to utilize stored fat for energy.
What Causes Insulin Resistance?
Lack of physical activity causes the cells to be less responsive to insulin. Most experts agree that obesity leads to more insulin resistance. However, it almost certainly also works the other way around: Insulin resistance promotes weight gain. So a vicious cycle can be set up with insulin resistance promoting weight gain, which promotes more insulin resistance.

Manna Shake Question
Q: You have a Manna Snack shake and a Manna Meal Replacement Shake, what is the difference?
A: The first Manna Shake was used as an alternative to the snack choices on our Manna Menu Plans. However, we realised that there is a much greater need for a meal replacement than a snack replacement and that is why we changed the shake.
The 2 shakes are exactly the same, but the amount of powder per serving changed.
· To use the Manna Shake as a snack, you only use 4 levelled teaspoons with non-fat milk. (12g of powder)
· When using the Shake as a meal replacement, use either the new scoop in the container or 5 heaped teaspoons of powder (32g) with non-fat milk.
To make the meal even more complete, use the powder with fruit and make a smoothie or drink the shake and eat fruit with it.
