Blueberries Curd Cake 
A perfect source of easily digestible amino acids and a few sugars for instant regeneration


Recipe
In a bowl, whisk together the 3 whole eggs, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1/2 vanilla pod until frothy. In a separate bowl, mash 350g albumin curd (or regular low-fat curd) with a fork. Add the lemon zest and juice of 1/2 lemon and mix well. Gradually add the egg mixture to the curd mixture, stirring gently until combined. Fold in the 100 g of fresh blueberries. Line a round cake pan with parchment paper and sprinkle the bottom with 1 tablespoon of white polenta. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Top with the remaining 200 g of fresh blueberries and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of unrefined cane sugar.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and set. Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting into 8 slices. Store in the refrigerator.

More protein, longer lasting fullness
While proteins also affect other bodily functions, protein intake can influence weight management.
Recent research indicates that dietary protein plays a significant role in appetite regulation, influencing various hormonal responses that contribute to feelings of satiety and hunger suppression.
Protein consumption significantly influences the levels of two key appetite-regulating hormones: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1, the "satiety hormone" ) and ghrelin (the "hunger hormone").
In essence, appetite regulation is a dynamic interplay between hormonal signals, brain activity, and external influences. For more go to my next post.

He explores the metaphorical sweetness of pleasure and desire.  In contrast, let's take a closer look at the practicalities of how watermelon impacts blood sugar levels, considering both its glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL). You might have heard the advice to avoid high-GI foods when trying to lose weight. This often includes warnings about grapes and watermelon due to their sugar content. But does this mean we need to completely banish these fruits, especially when they're in season, bursting with nutrients and fiber, and readily available fresh and local?
