Tweaks To Help Avoid Lectins:

1. Skip the Soy Sauce

Soy sauce is a bean sauce. And beans, as you know, are rife with lectins.

Now, soy is the most common phytoestrogen in our diets – and phytoestrogens are hormone disruptors. It’s true, phytoestrogens can – at times – be good for women during certain stages of menopause, but overall they’re troublesome because of their associations with hormonal diseases and complications when it comes to fertility.

Not to mention soy contains gluten – a pretty offending lectin.
Instead, replace the soy in your kitchen with…

2. Use Coconut Aminos

Coconut aminos are a delicious replacement for soy and tamari. Coconut aminos consist of only two ingredients – organic coconut tree sap and organic sea salt. That’s it. And you know I love simple ingredients.

Furthermore, coconut aminos might help contribute to weight loss. That’s because it contains the a highly valuable protein – adiponectin. This protein helps monitor quite a few metabolic functions – including maintaining proper glucose levels and oxidizing fatty acid.

So, adiponectin might be a great way to help your body. In fact, a recent study shows coconut products might also help with blood pressure, cholesterol, and fat reduction.^1,2

3. Nix Whole Peppers and Use Hot Sauce

Peppers of all kinds are lectin-bombs. However, the process of fermentation removes the lectins from peppers – which explains why many traditional cultures ferment their veggies. So, fermented hot sauce is a-okay.

Generally, when peppers are roasted, peeled, and de-seeded, and these sauces are fermented, the bacteria formed breaks down lectins.

So, let’s get started. Watch the video and cook with me…
