This is a short list I provided that should never be consumed on a healthy conscious diet plan. Or, if your goals are to see your children and grandchildren grow up while living a long fulfilling life.
#1: Deep-Fried Food:
Do not order deep fried food, or even use the words deep fried. You might as well lick the grease out of a McDonalds frying pan. Deep frying is positively the worst possible choice for having anything prepared. And don’t let the words, “lightly fried” fool you either, as in tempura! To give you a tip on the calories here, just add a zero “0″ to the end of the calorie count. For example, if a snickers bar has 100 calories, and now you order it deep fried (Which I’ve seen at the Del Mar Fair) now it becomes 1,000!
#2: White Bread:
Considering the negative nutrition associated with denatured flour, why would anyone make that choice in this enlightened century? Lose the white bread because it contains high fructose corn syrup and slows the digestion process. If they baked bread a 1,000 years ago without high fructose corn syrup, why need it now?
#3: Shortening and Margarine:
Solidified fats get that way through a process called hydrogenation, which in turn, makes a multitude of trans fats. Yes, we’ve all heard how bad trans fats are, right? Well, not only does margarine lower your HDL (good cholesterol) it also raises the bad (LDL). Use healthy substitutes like apple sauce or zero calorie spray cooking pam.
#4: White Rice:
The fiber is missing, the B vitamins are virtually unheard of and the glycemic load will take you one step closer to Type 2 Diabetes, if that’s your go-to carbohydrate, get rid of this. Think of it as consuming a bowl of sugar!
#5: White Sugar:
Did you know that consuming white sugar will actually stun your white blood cells from doing their important health preserving work? Yes, sugar impacts your immune system! It doesn’t just eat your teeth and add to your body fat, it disrupts immune function. Also, once sugar is consumed in an inactive body, it takes about 2 minutes for that sugar to become fat in your body!
Just remember, if you know your going to consume some horrible meals for the day, always remember to take your multivitamins and antioxidants to makeup for the lost nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
