5 TYPES OF FOOD TO AVOID

5 Food Types to Avoid

1. Refined Sugars- These are in so many processed foods and the world is becoming increasingly addicted to sweets. If you want to see fast results, cut these out of your diet. I still allow myself the ocasional sweet treat, but the majority of my days are spent sugar free.
2. Refined carbs- These simple carbs quickly are converted to sugar by your body and in fact, your saliva begins this process while you’re chewing. Get rid of the white pasta, white bread, and regular white rice to see the best results.
3. Bad fats- My rule of thumb is to only eat natural fats. These are fats that can be cold pressed from vegetables or obtained from eating whole foods such as salmon. Olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil are all great choices and real butter is better than any processed spread. Processed foods almost always have high omega 6 fats in them which can sabotage your fat loss efforts by causing inflammation.
4. Processed foods- Any food that can’t be made naturally or that doesn’t exist in nature is usually a bad idea. Processed foods are full of chemicals and sodium and they should be greatly limited if you’re trying to shed fat. Try to break free from the quick, convenient, preprepared way of eating. Eating whole foods can still be quick with a little education.
5. Artificial sugars- These chemicals really don’t have any benefit in your diet. They’ve been known to cause health problems and recent research shows that people who consume diet soda actually on average have bigger waist sizes than people who don’t. If you have to have something sweet, have a real sugar treat once a week or use Stevia.
