Avoid These Demons for Accelerated Fat Loss – Part One

Each one plays a significant role in your overall health buy generic acomplia and well being as well. But perhaps the most important factor is what you choose NOT claritin 10 mg to eat.

Over the next four days I am going to talk to you about four “food demons” that you should avoid. Avoiding them can not only help accelerate your fat loss, but put you in a prime position for optimal health and longevity.

Demon #1: Refined Carbohydrates

Like many of you, I grew up on Wonder Bread and loved it. Pure white goodness…except that it really wasn’t. Of course my mom didn’t know any better thanks to terrific marketing and a terrific taste, Wonder Bread was as American as apple pie and the benefits of foods like “whole grain” were unbeknownst to most (although now there’s even evidence that many of us should be avoiding wheat bread as well…).

Enter 2009…I wouldn’t feed my kids any type of white bread even if you paid me. The problem with refined carbohydrates like white bread, white rice, white sugar, non-wheat pasta and many buy levitra medication moneygram california other “white” foods is that they’re made from grains that have had their nutrients processed out of them.

The benefit of eating grains is that they’re full of nutrients and they do a great job of making you feel full. You’re not going to get that from eating “white” foods. In fact because refined carbohydrates like white bread are digested very quickly, you get a surge of blood sugar, which is then followed by a surge of energy which is of course followed by a down swing as the insulin stores the blood sugar; all resulting in your body craving more. Exactly what you don’t want when your trying to lose fat.

Of course, you can’t live without carbohydrates (regardless of what Atkins die-hards believe) because they provide the essential energy needed to feed your muscles and metabolism and contain tons of nutrients. So drop the “whites” and stick with whole grain foods as well as much fruits and vegetables as you can muster (I recommend at least 8 servings combined). In this case, the “good guy” is definitely not wearing white!

Tomorrow, I’ll talk about Demon #2, Trans Fat.
