1) Soy
Soy is commonly found in:
• Tofu
• Beer
• Soy milk
• Plant meat substitutes
It has phytoestrogens (plant compounds which mimic estrogen).
Consuming too much of these can affect fertility, breast size, and testosterone in men.
2) Seed oils
This includes oils like:
• Corn
• Canola
• Sesame
• Soybeans
• Sunflower seeds
They're loaded with harmful chemicals, pesticides, and omega-6 fatty acids.
Olive, coconut, and avocado oils are superior alternatives.
Your health is worth the extra cost.
3) Soft drinks
Want to become overweight (and diabetic) as fast as possible?
Keep drinking liquid sugar-bombs.
Want to live a healthier lifestyle?
Minimize soft drinks at all costs.
Swap them out for:
• Tea
• Water
• Black coffee
Your body will thank you immediately.
4) Unnatural trans fats
The natural trans fats found in beef are okay.
But unnatural trans fats found in processed foods are linked to:
• Inflammation
• Higher LDL cholesterol
• Increased risk of heart disease
Eat less processed junk.
Eat more natural meat.
5) Artificial sweeteners
Tell me ONE example where something artificial is better than the real thing.
You can’t?
Thought not...
Throw away the Splenda.
Try natural sweeteners instead:
• Stevia
• Honey
• Monk fruit
6) High fructose corn syrup
HFCS is a sweetener made from corn starch.
It's common in processed foods and drinks.
HFCS is associated with:
• Obesity
• Inflammation
• Type 2 diabetes
• Dental problems
• Fatty liver disease
7) Packaged and canned foods
Convenient? Yes.
Healthy? Not so much.
These foods are typically:
• Loaded with sodium
• Tainted with chemicals
• Packed with preservatives
What should you eat instead?
There isn’t any good reason for you NOT to eat these 80% of the time.
Here’s a short list of whole food alternatives:
• Fish
• Nuts
• Eggs
• Fruits
• Steak
• Berries
• Olive oil
• Chicken
• Oatmeal
• Avocado
• Onion
• Leafy greens
• Whole grains
• Greek yogurt
• Ginger
