Keep These 2 Foods Out of your Diet
The 2 foods that are to be avoided may shock you. You may be under the impression, like so many others, that these foods are OK, and not an issue when it comes to dieting. People are amazed when they learn that they should be removed from their diet.
It is common knowledge that trans fats are bad for you, and also high-fructose corn syrup. I won't go over these ones again " you probably know only too well. Its not either of these that I have in mind.
Number one to be avoided when you are on a diet, is all wheat products - that means anything that contains wheat. This would include bread of all types, bagels, pasta and cereals (and this even includes all those "whole wheat" cereals).
The reasons for wheat products are, first of all, much of the population has an allergy to the gluten in wheat products and other grains. But what most people do not realise is that we were never meant to have a large proportion of wheat in our diet. Our digestive system has never adjusted to it.
Wheat has been introduced into our diet only in the last couple of thousand years or so, and has NEVER been a high percentage of the human diet until the last 80 to 100 years! Before that, our diet generally consisted of a much healthier mixture of nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits.
When someone is trying to lose weight, they should try to eliminate wheat from their diet for 2 to 3 weeks. If they do this, they will lose weight and they will feel a lot better also. In some cases, it has been known to eliminate headaches and indigestion problems that had been plaguing people for years.
The second food that should be avoided comes as a surprise to just about everybody, because I am talking about fruit juice. It is generally regarded as being a healthy choice, and something to be included in a weight-loss diet.
Now I am not totally against carbohydrates - in fact, I believe that most fruits are very beneficial and healthy. But this is referring to fruits in their natural state - not processed. And when you separate the juice from the rest of the fruit which is rich in fiber, it's no longer useful for dieting. What you are left with is a high-calorie , sugary drink that is best avoided.
When you only drink the juice of the fruit, your body is missing out on the fiber. This will result in a craving for more carbohydrates. Oranges and apples are two of the best examples of this. The fiber in the fruit will help to satisfy the appetite, and it also slows down the response of the blood sugar, much more so that the juice alone.
To sum up, having too much fruit juice is only going to make you fat. But eating whole fruits is an important part of a weight-loss diet and it will provide a high level of nutrients to your body. Of course, this also depends on you keeping processed foods out of your diet as much as possible. - 17269
