5 Foods to Avoid

5 Foods to Avoid

I found the video in the link above that I really like as it explains Fat Burning Foods and How foods effect our hormone levels.

I keep a list of the foods discussed in the video on my refrigerator. 

#1.  Margarine - contains transfat and hydrogen is added.  I have always eaten real butter made from only cream and salt.  Only eat the serving size listed on the package.

#2.  Sugar - hidden sugars found in salad dressings, catsup, granola, yogurt etc. add up during the day to be quite a significant amount of sugar.  Sugar is okay if you are only getting about 15 grams spread throughout the entire day, preferably on 3 to 5 grams consumed in a meal.  Insulin is produced to process the extra sugar which is a fat storing hormone and increases our hunger.

#3.  Whole wheat bread such as bagels, pretzels, cookies, cakes, etc are comfort foods that also store fat.  Whole wheat is good for you but again, eat only the portion size and foods that don't contain extra sugar.

#4.  Soy milk and Tofu contain hidden ingredients that help store fat.  Drinking milk is better but remember to follow the serving size.  

#5.  Fruit juices are a concentrated form of sugar without the fiber.  It is better to eat the fruit.

Eat foods that help burn our fat not store the fat!


Health is Happiness!
