Weight Loss Can Be Very Hard Owing To These Foods

This information is brought to you by Atlanta Weight Loss Diets

When not considering weight loss, there are few things that are more refreshing to me than eating fresh piping hot corn on the cob, with plenty of butter and salt. It is such a refreshing and healthy tasting treat. What could be wrong with that you might ask?

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.

Along with weight loss issues people are also developing allergies and intolerances to two of the culprits, wheat and soy, plus gluten intolerances.

· Massive amounts of the following food products are hard on your digestive system:
· High fructose corn syrup.
· Corn oil
· Soy protein
· Soy protein
· Refined wheat flour

Possibly hundreds more including soy lecithin, wheat or cornstarch, mono or diglycerides and many 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.

Now here is another shocker. Farmers are feeding cattle mostly corn and soy even though there systems are not designed for it. It puts way more fat on farm animals which brings the farmers more money when the cattle are sold at the market.

Omega 6 to omega 3 ratios are altered and become unhealthy when farm animals are fed a steady diet of soy and corn. If that were not enough they will also experience a drop in CLA, fats that come naturally to grass fed cattle. This is also a fact for farm-raised fish, salmon and chickens.

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.

If you are truly going to affect weight loss and get a handle on our health, then it all starts with the grocery cart.



· Dine out once per week and eat junk food on that day. This limits your access to junk and the temptation to eat it.
· Eat most of your carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables, not grain.
· Try to get most of your carbs from fruits and veggies instead of grains.
· Unhealthy canola oils should be off the menu as well.
· Try veggie stick with guacamole instead of corn chips.
· Decrease your pasta, bread and cereal consumption, have it 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.
