Ok, so you have read about how to go about losing weight and you also know the top 5 mistakes people make when trying to lose weight.
So... what now?
Well i am going to talk about some specific foods that you should try to avoid.
These foods are known as 'inflammatory foods'.
Firstly, let me explain what i mean by the term 'inflamatory'
Inflammation is your immune system’s response to infection or irritation in the body. We have all experienced the inflammation that occurs on our skin in response to a cut, infection or injury. This kind of inflammation is visible. Likewise, your internal body systems will respond to infectious and irritating foods with inflammation. This kind of inflammation is not as visible, but it makes itself apparent through diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and obesity.
So, what foods are you eating that cause this?
Food 1: Wheat, Gluten and Grains

| The human body is not design to consume the amounts of grains we do today |
Just a quick glance at the health condition of our population and the amount of breads, cereals and grains we all consume, and it's quite obvious that it is a poor choice for most of us. Whereas five years ago, it may have been more difficult to explain to clients to stay away from wheat and grains (bread, pastas, cereal, crackers), most of them now know how harmful it is to their health.
Food 2: Dairy
This is where clients will say to me, “But I drink skim milk instead of whole.” or “Where will I get my calcium from?” Regardless of the variety of milk they consume, dairy in this country is not in the form nature intended.Because of pasteurization, the high heat kills off all the necessary enzymes in the milk that we need to digest (thus the high prevalence of lactose intolerance and irritable bowl syndrome in this country).
You can argue pasteurization is necessary to kill off bacteria, but in reality, the high heat temperatures of pasteurization are actually not high enough to kill off the pathogens most people are worried about. So this practice kills off the good and leaves the bad. If you're wondering where to get your calcium from, you will absorb more calcium from green leafy vegetables than any amount of milk you can consume.
When I take clients off of dairy, the results are phenomenal!
Food 3: Sugar and foods containing sugar
Sugar is by far one of the most abused stimulants in this country. It causes everything from rotting teeth to diabetes to most cancers. Even if your'e not a candy or dessert eater, you should be aware of the sugar content in most of your foods. If you were to total up the amount of sugar from your daily juices, sodas, processed foods and dressings, it could add up to 20 teaspoons of sugar a day!
Be aware that any word ending in "-ose" on a package usually means sugar (i.e., sucrose, maltose, glucose).
If you avoid consuming these foods for the next 2 weeks.... I am sure you will notice some changes to your body fat levels.
