what are the worst possible foods that we can eat in a day what are the worst foods for us that are out there in our diets making us unhealthy and making us in some cases obese go ahead and leave a comment letting me know what you think might be the absolute worst food out there and then stay tuned and I'll talk about what the ten worst foods are I'll talk about the ten foods that we should be eliminating from our diet in order to have healthier bodies.
10-Processed meats
So that includes any kind of processed sandwich meat hot dogs sausage all of these that not only are going to have the negative effects of meat themselves which are kind of hard on the body but once you start adding in chemicals and different additives you're really waging a war on your body when you're eating these foods go ahead and opt for lean meats such as chicken or turkey anything that is a natural meat is always going to be better for you than a red meat or any kind of processed meat.
9-Ice cream and milkshakes
Ice cream and milkshakes any of these really sweet drinks that are compounding not only sugar but also high fat lots of dairy these drinks are huge amounts of calories and oftentimes their accompanying a meal that's also high in calories compound it again if it's a coffee drink or Frappuccino type drink where you're throwing caffeine in there as well you're putting whipped cream on the top the calories are just adding up adding up you have no nutrition coming from these drinks and they're just going to really really be hard to lose weight if you're drinking a lot of these real sugary milkshakes and things like that an alternative when you need a sweet drink you want something a little bit more would be an all-fruit smoothie or any kind of shake like that natural fruit juices are good you want to be careful because natural fruit juices don't contain all the good things that fruit themselves have but that is going to be much better than having something that's got a lot fad as well as sugar.
8-Microwave dinner
On my list is TV dinners or any kind of microwave dinner which have become really popular because they're so quick they're so easy to transport throw them in the fridge or freezer and get them out, Newcomb and you instantly have a meal but right there in that whole nuking them process it's exactly what you're doing you're nuking any kind of nutrients or anything that might have been in the food before it was packaged and processed and frozen by putting it in the microwave and doing it these TV dinners are prepackaged meals in the beginning or already stripped of nutrients and vitamins all the things that a good whole food is going to offer to you but by nuking it in the microwave you're just taking it one step further and really doing your body a disservice the other problem is that you're eating a meal you're you know eating something to be telling your body to get full but if you're not giving your body any nutrition it's not going to be satisfied you're going to still feel hungry afterward you're going to splurge on the dessert more than likely and you're going to be hungry again later so if you can eliminate TV dinners from your diet that would be a huge plus in terms of getting healthier.
7-Oils
Particularly canola oil corn oil soybean oil safflower sunflower oils these are often highly processed oils that lose a lot of their nutrients and they sometimes may come from genetically modified plants as well which is another harmful thing ,good oils to use instead would be olive oil or coconut oil olive oil is a great alternative for salad dressings and sauces things like this coconut oil is a great oil to cook with because it maintains its chemical structure even after heating so some of these oils once you heat them up will actually change in structure and form new chemicals about coconut oil is going to take all of its nutritive properties and be the best oil to cook with even at high temperatures.
6- Refined sugar
Now refined sugar is going to include all of our sweetening syrups like high fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners refined sugar is been implicated in all kinds of problems of course diabetes and obesity as well as other problems with the immune system and other organ systems as well sugar is also an addictive substance so just like caffeine or other addictive drugs it's something that over time the more you eat it the more your body is going to crave it or think that it's needing it and the more you can kind of get to get yourself in a feedback loop of trying to answer it with sugar and that just making you want more the best alternative to sugar would be picking up a piece of whole fruit and eating it now while fruits also contain a lot of sugar they contain a lot of vitamin vitamin nutrients enzymes and fiber as well that are going to help you break them down and assimilate and use those sugar molecules for energy rather than them just getting stored in your body as fat.
5-Artificial sweeteners
Now an even worse offender than sugar itself are artificial sweeteners so those are the little pink and blue packets on the table in your restaurant any food that is sweet but claims to be sugar free is going to contain some kind of sweet tasting chemical called an artificial sweetener now these artificial sweeteners are detrimental for a whole lot of reasons there's been a lot of research looking into them and their different effects nausea and headaches things like that but they also are going to essentially trick your body so essentially these are chemicals other than sugar tricking your body into thinking that you're ingesting sugar and for that reason they're going to cause you to have an insulin response where your body is detecting that you've eaten something sweet it's preparing for your blood sugar to rise so it releases insulin and preparation for that causing your blood sugar to drop and because there's actually no sugar in that food that you've just eaten you've decreased your blood sugar by releasing insulin and it's actually going to make you hungrier so in a lot of instances different studies and this where they've looked at artificial sweeteners they find that people consuming artificial sweeteners instead of normal sugar actually end up eating more and overeating more so causing weight gain instead of weight loss.
4-Trans- fats
Trans fats have been getting a lot of attention in the last several years because they've been found to have a lot of negative health effects and so the food industry's answer to trans fats and a lot of cases have been actually you know changed the serving size and do other things that they actually can can list the food as not containing trans fats and the way to check for that would be looking on the label for anything that says partially hydrogenated oil anything that says partial hydrogenation indicates a trans-fat now trans-fat is really really hard for the body to deal with hard to assimilate it's going to of course cause you to gain a lot of weight but whereas some fats contain nutrients and are useful to our bodies trans-fat is essentially going to act like a poison and really make it hard to lose weight if you're having a lot of trans fats in your diet.
3-Canned food
Along the same lines with my discussion on trans fats I'm going to add to this list anything that is canned or packaged in a box especially canned soups which contain a lot of sodium and other artificial flavors now of course eating canned vegetables is going to be at better than eating no vegetables at all but it's important to note that almost anything that you can get in the canner box is available in a fresh alternative you're going to be able to get it in the produce section your Mable to get fresh meats instead of packaged or canned meats and these are always going to be sniffing team or healthful for you than something that's been canned something that has a shelf life of several years or that may have no shelf life at all it's going to indicate that it's not of living food it's not a raw fresh food and therefore it's not going to contain as much nutrition.
2-Fried foods
Getting towards the end of our list I'm now going to address fried foods now fried foods are bad for us for a whole lot of different reasons mainly that heating anything to a really really high temperature is going to create some some toxic chemicals it's also going to kill any of the vitamins or nutrients that may have existed in the food prior to being heated barbecuing is another process that's going to really take a lot of nutrients out and add some chemicals in anything that's going to really high temperatures so boiling and steaming are going to be good alternatives to fried foods or baked foods so fried things French fries a lot of baked goods are actually fried things like that if you can eliminate these foods you will see a lot of improvement and your health and a lot of times these foods feel hard to avoid but if you can just for instance you know maybe you're not going to completely cut out fast food completely altogether and a real cold turkey but if you can go ahead and eliminate French fries that would be a great step towards towards improving your health.
1-Sodas
Sodas are the number one most purchased item in grocery stores in America they're estimated to be responsible for 70% of our excess calories in our diets they are loaded with sugar or in some cases artificial sweeteners which I already addressed as being bad so don't feel like by substituting your soda with diet soda you're you're making a healthier choice it's actually going to be better to just go with the normal soda than to go with a diet soda for a lot of different reasons but if you can eliminate is completely that would be best one good way to start weaning yourself off soda is to alternate you know if you're somebody that drinks a soda at every meal start alternating a soda one meal water at another soda one water another kind of this idea of maybe just going equal amounts of water in soda and over time it'll be easier to wean yourself off of sodas now if you're somebody that drinks a whole lot of sodas every day this is kind of a huge a huge undertaking but you will see weight loss coming pretty quickly there's several people that report that once they cut out sodas with that being the only dietary change that they make they immediately see that they're losing weight and feeling more helpful and all of this now part of that I would contribute to the fact that they're probably drinking more water but also this is just a huge contributor to excess calories and sugar that we don't need and that it's really detrimental to our health so sodas should go.
