subject: Learn How To Lose Weight And Optimize Your Health. 8 Foods To Avoid [print this page] You have followed the advice of the government agencies and diet industry and stocked your kitchen with foods they have labelled as healthy and nutritious. You quite reasonably see this as the first step in your weight loss quest and determination to optimize your health
These foods are labelled as low fat, low sugar, sugar free, blah blah...
But something unexpected happens along the way.
You do not shift any weight or lose inches from around your midriff. In fact you seem to have put on some extra pounds.
As far as improving your health, you do not feel much better and your skin looks positvely unhealthy.
You have just discovered that the so called 'health foods' are not so healthy after all. It is time to clear your kitchen of these health foods. Time to trash them...
1.Brightly packaged breakfast cereals. These are loaded with sugar and refined grains such as corn, wheat and soybean flour. These cereals are high glycemic index foods which will spike your blood sugar, increase your insulin response and put your body into a fat gaining mode.
2.Reduced sugar deserts. These are laden with artificial seeetners, which contrary to what the FDA, FSA or whatever alphabet authority might claim, are dangerous to the body. The ingredients include a cocktail of preservatives and unpronounceable chemicals which combined with the artificial sweetners serve to load the digestive system with harmful plaque and the body with toxins. The body responds to these by gaining fat and retaining water.
3.Diet sodas and sugar free soft drinks. These are loaded with artificial sweetners like nutrasweet and aspartame.
4.Vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, safflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil canola oil and crisco. These mass produced oils are highly processed and ultra heated. They lead to inflamation, an increased risk of heart disease and fat gain.
5.Meal replacement shakes. These are loaded with high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils and other chemicals They are far from healthy and actually add fat to your body not aid in weight loss.
6.Fat free rice cakes. These are no more than refined carbohydrates with nil fibre. They are high glycemic, the body metabolizes them rapidly thus leading to a sugar and insulin spike and fat atorage.
7.Protein/Energy bars. Loaded with hydrogenated oils,high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweetners and preservatives. They are essentially not much more than cleverly packaged candy bars.
8.Sugar free candy, biscuits and muffins. Full of processed flour, hydrogenated fats and vegetable oils. High glycemic carbohydrates that result in rapid weight gain!
So, break away from the disinformation of the all powerful food and diet industries. Throwing the above ''healthy foods'' in the trash should be your first step in your quest to lose weight and optimize your health.
