Foods to Avoid If You Want To Lose Weight

People get excited about a lot of things, but I have never in my life met anyone who’s crazy about being overweight. I have however, met people who are fed up with up and down rollercoaster of so-called healthy meal plans to lose weight. Rather than deal with more dieting program disappointments, some of these people conclude that living “overweight” is simply in the cards for them.

Throwing your hands up in defeat and deciding to spend the rest of your days (unhappily) overweight is no way to go through life. A decision like this can beat your self-esteem into the ground and shave years off of your life. C’mon, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones so much more than this.

There’s no magic trick to losing-weight – if there were, everybody and their grandmom would be thin. The best way to achieve successful weight loss results is to know what types of foods to keep out of your daily diet.

Just Say “No Go For You” to Processed Foods

Processed foods are dirt cheap, convenient and easy to prepare. Regrettably, these foods are bad for your health. Of course, you’d never know this by watching those hyped up television ads. Since manufacturers aren’t going to give you the dirty on the ingredients they use in processed foods, I’ll gladly do it for them.
Let’s first start with trans fat. This ingredient lowers good cholesterol, raises bad cholesterol, and can really increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. Considering heart disease is one of the number 1 killers of men and women, trans fat is one ingredient you want to steer clear of.

If you’re questioning where that double chin came from, the high fructose corn syrup used in some of your popular processed foods may be partly to blame. This ingredient has been getting a lot of press lately because it is considered to be a major player in the rising obesity epidemic.

Don’t even get me going on the chemicals manufacturers use in their processed foods. If I tried to name couple of these chemicals, I’d be tongue tied for days. Besides, you’d probably think I was reading the label on a can of spray paint instead of the ingredients in your favorite microwavable dinner.

Get Off The Sugar

The average person downs about 150 pounds of sugar per year. When you think about the information that sugar is in almost everything, it’s easy to eat pounds of this stuff without even realizing it. So what’s the big deal? There isn’t enough time in the day for me to tell you about all the harm sugar can do to your weight and health. However, I can give you a quick summary.

Sugar includes nothing but empty calories. When you eat this junk, a large part of it gets stored in the body as fat. If your goal is to lose weight, being heavy-handed with the sugar isn’t going to help. This is not even the worst of it. Sugar can also depress the immune system, supply cancer cells, contribute to heart disease, raise your risk of osteoporosis and make you look run-down.

Get Rid Of Artificial Sweeteners

Before you run out and stock your ice box with a bunch of those zero-calorie diet drinks, there’s something you should know. The artificial sweeteners used in diet drinks and other low-calorie products are lab-created. Yep. You heard me right – mixed up in a lab like something out of a Frankenstein movie.

These chemical sweeteners can bring on or contribute to a laundry list of neuropsychiatric disorders and chronic illnesses – depression, anxiety, migraines, mood changes, panic attacks, vertigo, memory loss, Alzheimer’s, brain tumors – should I go on? And if you think you’re going to shake off a few pounds using artificial sweeteners, think again. These sweeteners stimulate your appetite and make you eat more food.

When you’ve tried diet after diet and not one of them delivers results, it can certainly make you want to give up. But you owe it to yourself and to your family to live the healthiest life possible. Processed foods, sugar and artificial sweeteners are the main wrongdoers of weight gain. When you eliminate these foods from your diet, you can increase your chance of losing weight.
