A Good Diet Does Not Contain These 3 Foods

This information is brought to you by Atlanta Weight Loss

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.

Obesity is on the rise and with it significant health issues. The imbalance of the American diet is largely to blame. More specifically, these three foods are hindering your ability to lose weight.

It's not a surprise that we have also developed so many intolerances and allergies, specifically to soy and wheat (And gluten intolerance).

· Massive amounts of the following food products are hard on your digestive system:
· Refined wheat flour
· Soybean oil
· Soy protein
· Soy protein
· Refined wheat flour

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

Just think of all the sodas, Marinades, salad dressings, ketchup, breads and hundreds of other foods that contain loads 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.

Do you want to get a handle on your health and experience healthy weight loss? Start with the foods you are putting in the cart at the grocery store! When you want to lose weight, you must change the way you eat and the best thing you can do is eliminate processed foods! Eat more vegetables, fruits, eggs, free-range meat, nuts and seeds.

Don't buy processed foods! Buy simple healthy foods. Fruits, veggies, beans, eggs (free roaming chickens) nuts, seeds, and meats from grass fed or free roaming animals.

· Limit junk foods to 1 day a week, cheat day.
· Eat most of your carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables, not grain.
· Tomato sauces contain soybean oils and HFCS, avoid them. Instead, choose sauces created with olive oil.
· Canola oils are unhealthy as well.
· Try veggie stick with guacamole instead of corn chips.
· Decrease your pasta, bread and cereal consumption, have it on your cheat day.

No one is perfect, and your diet may never attain that status either. Nevertheless, you can enjoy weight loss if you will get your percentages of soy, corn and wheat back to a healthy level. This is absolutely key if you wish to lose weight and be healthier.
