48
You are absolutely determined to lose some excess weight and optimize your health and wellbeing.
You stock your kitchen with foods that you have been told are healthy by the FDA (in the US) or the FSA (in the UK).
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 positively 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 loaded with artificial sweeteners, which contrary to what the FDA or FSA or what ever alphabet authority might say, are highly poisonous to the body.
The ingredients include a cocktail of preservatives and unpronounceable chemicals which combined with the artificial sweeteners 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 and sugar free soft drinks and sodas.
These are loaded with artificial sweeteners like nutrasweet and aspartame.
4.
Vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, safflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil canola oil and crisco.
These are highly processed and ultra heated.
They lead to inflammation,heart disease,and weight 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 highly refined carbohydrates with zero fibre.
They are highly glycemic and the body breaks them down rapidly, leading to a sugar and insulin spike and fat storage.
7.
Protein/Energy bars.
Laden with unhealthy hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, various preservatives and artificial sweeteners.
They are really nothing more than cleverly packaged candy bars.
8.
Sugar free candy, biscuits and muffins.
Loaded with hydrogenated fats, vegetable oils and processed flours.
High glycemic carbs that add weight gain almost instantly! So, break away from the disinformation of the all powerful food and diet industries.
