5 Everyday foods stopping you from LOSING WEIGHT

Pages: 1 2 3 4 5

However, the way many food products are produced nowadays makes it much more difficult for our bodies to even think about weight loss.

The reason for this is that anytime you eat something the body recognises as 'toxic', it deposits it into the simplest cell in the body - a FAT cell. This makes the fat cell BIGGER. Bigger fat cells = fatter body.

So what's the solution?

Start avoiding foods that contain 'weird' ingredients that were never meant to be food in the first place.

Here are five of the biggest culprits:

1. Margarine - and anything else that is HYDROGENATED

This category includes most sunflower and canola oils, margarine, the creamy filling in biscuits, anything deep fried, and pies.

Hydrogenation is the process of making the double bonds in mono- and poly-unsaturated fats into single bonds by saturating them with hydrogen gas. This makes them last longer, and turns them solid or semi-solid at room temperature.

Bottom line: The TRANS FATS created by the hydrogenation process are about the worst thing you can put into your body.
