Keep These 2 Foods Out of your Diet
The 2 foods to be avoided may come as a surprise to you. You may even find it hard to believe. The common belief would be that they are fine to have as part of a controlled diet. It comes as a big surprise for most people, to learn that they should ditch them.
It is a reasonably well known fact that when dieting, trans fats are to be avoided, and also to be avoided is the high-fructose corn syrup. I am sure you are aware of this. I'm not going to go there - I am not talking about either of these.
The first one that you should avoid is all wheat products - I mean, the ones that contain wheat such as all types of bread, pasta, bagels, and cereals (even the "whole wheat" cereals are to be included in this list).
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 only appeared in the human diet in the last couple of thousand years or so, and has NEVER been such a large part of our diet until the last 80 to 100 years! Previous to that, we had a much healthier diet which consisted mainly of a mixture of of vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.
When a person is trying to lose weight, if they eliminate wheat from their diet for 2 to 3 weeks, they will lose weight, and feel a whole lot better. In some cases, it also gets rid of headaches and indigestion problems (even skin problems too) which they may have been having 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.
At the end of the day, you will only put on weight if you have too much fruit juice. On the other hand, eating whole fruits is an important part of a calorie-controlled diet, and a rich source of nutrients for your body. This is also dependant on your diet consisting of as much unprocessed food as possible. - 17274
