If you want a really quick and easy way to remember what foods you should be avoiding then steer well clear of all foods that are white in colour. These foods include:
Bread, Cakes, Pasteries - so highly processed these days that not only are they devoid of all nutrients but most of us have an allergy to them. Ever feel bloated?
Sugar – so many items have sugar in them that you have to be so careful what you are eating. Sugar is a natural preservative and so supermarkets love it in food because it provides a longer shelf life. Food manufacturers are sneaky and often label sugar as things we don’t recognise. Basically if an ingredient ends in “…..ose” then its a sugar e.g. glucose, dextrose, sucrose, fructose etc..
Pasta – another product of wheat and lacking in any real nutrients. White pasta will raise your blood sugar level fast giving you energy but also causes them to drop just as rapidly. This quick rise and fall of blood sugars will force feed your fat cells faster than you can burn it off.
Table salt – another highly processed item and often laced with chemicals. Don’t be afraid to eat salt just buy pure sea salt with no added ingredients. Believe it or not we need salt in our body to help absorb water.
Rice -another food that lacks any real nutrients and piles on the pounds. You are better off eating wholegrain rice or even better still, quinoa or buckwheat.
Potatoes – not necessarily a bad food but again will pile on the pounds in regular portions. There are better options like sweet potatoes.
There’s a simple guide to keep you thinking straight next time you are at the supermarket, if it’s white in colour get it out of the basket. Why not try shopping with the rainbow principle in mind, the more colours the better!
Remember that you have to eat well to feel well, food strongly influences who you are!
