Top 5 Foods To Avoid & What Is Really a Diet?

What does the words “I am going on a diet!” actually mean? What really is a diet? When I hear my clients utter these words, they are telling me plan on

A) Starving themselves

B) Cutting out all foods they enjoy

C) Consuming very little calories

D) Being miserable!

First of my advice is do not use the word diet! -try healthy eating or clean eating. I believe that you should never starve your body!

Eating well should leave you satisfied and should give you energy. When you deprive your body of calories it will hold on to what calories it does have and store these calories as fat! YOUR BODY NEEDS FUEL!

I recommend that you keep a food journal BEFORE you start your clean eating patterns. Review 2 weeks of your eating patterns:

• Where are your pitfalls?
• What unhealthy foods are you consuming the most of?
• What changes do you really want to make in your eating habits?

Once you have established this, begin to take out certain unhealthy foods. Maybe it’s not the best choice for your personality to take all bad habits away at once. I suggest weekly taking away one bad habit at the time. Now maybe you are an “all or nothing kind of person”, and need to take out all poor eating habits -that is fine as well!.

Now to get to the nitty gritty -WHAT FOODS SHOULD YOU AVOID?! Here is a a list of what I believe are the Top Foods To Avoid!

1. Sugar – Candy, Deserts
2. White Carbs – Pasta, Rice, Bread
3. Dairy – Milk, Cheese, Egg Yolk
4. Soda – All Sugar Sodas & Diet Sodas
5. Salt – High Sodium Foods

Keep in mind this list is here for you to modify your intake on these 5 NO NO’s! If on occasion you want to spoil yourself that is up to you! This is your own personal journal!

Good luck to you all and don’t hesitate in contacting us!
