2. HEALTHY FOODS THAT
MAKE YOU FAT
Sometimes foods thought to be good for you can sneak into your
diet and do more harm than good. There are two fattening foods(le
fait d'engraisser des nourritures) that I'll mention in this article that
may be contributing to your difficulty in losing weight, as well as
causing other health problems for you. The funny thing is, both of
these foods are generally considered to be "healthy." You
may, therefore, be surprised when I tell you what they are.
3. HEALTHY FOODS THAT
MAKE YOU FAT
There is good evidence to suggest that one "health food" that is a
culprit in denying people the weight loss they seek is wheat. Any food
made with wheat is suspect. This would, of course, include many
cereals, pasta, breads, and muffins. And don't be misled into thinking
that because it is labeled "whole wheat" that it should be excluded
from the list of fattening foods.
5. HEALTHY FOODS THAT
MAKE YOU FAT
Mike Geary, a Certified Nutrition Specialist, has observed that many of his clients, when
they follow his advice and eliminate wheat from their diets, find that they start to lose weight and
feel better almost immediately. Wheat products have been connected to more afflictions than fat
gain, too. There seems to be a connection between wheat and headaches, digestive problems and
even skin problems for many people.
So, if you're consuming significant amounts of wheat products and are having difficulty
losing weight, wheat could be a contributing factor. In fact, it could be the main factor which is
preventing you from losing the weight you desire to lose. You can do an experiment of one and
just see whether you feel better - or worse - by eliminating or significantly reducing your
consumption of wheat products.
6. The second food that I want to discuss which can sabotage your weight
loss efforts may also surprise you, because it is thought by many of us to be
one of the most "healthy" foods around. I'm talking about fruit juice.
Now don't misunderstand me. I am talking about "fruit juice," not "fruit."
Most fruits are very healthy for us. But, you don't find fruit juice in nature -
you find fruits. When we separate the juice from the fruit, it is the beginning
of a problem. The juice without the pulp and fiber of the fruit itself is a high
calorie, sugary drink. The good fiber and other beneficial nutrients of the fruit
have been processed out.
7. When you eat fruit in its natural state, you consume the natural
fiber along with the juice. The fiber satisfies your appetite and slows
down the blood sugar response relative to just consuming the fruit
juice alone. And this may surprise you. Apple juice and orange juice
are two of the worst offenders in our western diet.
