Losing Weight Means Avoiding These 3 Foods

This information is brought to you by Atlanta Weight Loss Diets

Weight loss goals aside, can you think of anything better than sitting down with a piping hot ear of corn on the cob smothered in salt and butter? It is a vegetable after all and such a great comfort food how can this be bad? This is a very good question.

Did you know that the average American will get 67% of their calories from three basic foods? Wheat, corn and soy comprise the bulk of most peoples diet, when they should only come in at around 5 -10% of your total caloric intake.

This imbalance in our diet is creating massive health problems associated with obesity, and the primary culprit in our diet hindering weight loss is these 3 foods.

It's not a surprise that we have also developed so many intolerances and allergies, specifically to soy and wheat (And gluten intolerance).

· Human digestive systems are complex and were never designed to deal with large amounts of:
· Refined wheat flour
· Soybean oil
· Soybean oil (hydrogenated or plain refined)
· Soy protein
· High fructose corn syrup

Several other derivatives including- corn or wheat starch, mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin and much more.

Think about your diet, does it include breads, marinades, soda, salad dressing or ketchup? Each of these contains massive amounts of high fructose corn syrup.

Here is another shocking fact; farmers feed their beef cattle a diet high in soy or corn knowing full well their bodies were not designed for it. They do this to add fat, which translates to weight, which earns the farmer more money when they sell them for processing.

Feeding farm animal corn and soy alters the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of the fats to unhealthy levels. It also diminishes the healthy CLA fats that would occur naturally in grass-fed beef. The same holds true for chickens, salmon and other farm raised fish.

When you eat beef, chicken and fish you are still consuming foods that contain negative attributes for your health because of all the corn, soy fat buildup.

In order to lose weight and finally get a hold on your health the first place you should begin is the supermarket.



· Dine out once per week and eat junk food on that day. This limits your access to junk and the temptation to eat it.
· The best source of carbohydrates is fruits and vegetables instead of grain.
· Try to get most of your carbs from fruits and veggies instead of grains.
· Canola oils are unhealthy as well.
· Try veggie stick with guacamole instead of corn chips.
· Reduce your cereal, bread, and pasta intake by having them on your cheat day.

My point is, you're not going to always be perfect with your diet, but you have to get the percentages of corn, soy, wheat and their myriad of derivatives back in line with good health standards. Your long term health and weight loss depend on it.
