The 5 Metabolism Killing Foods You Should Never Eat
This is a quick list of 5 commonly eaten "health" foods that put you at risk of THE most dangerous chronic diseases such
as Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Alzheimer's and even Cancer. This list was put together by my friend Dr. Jonny Bowden.
These foods also sap your energy, make you cranky and irritable, slow your thinking and wrinkle your skin. When you remove them, you'll likely feel a ton better!
1. Agave Nectar Syrup. Agave has been touted as a health food because it is low-glycemic which simply means it does not raise your blood sugar quickly. HOWEVER- Agave contains high levels of FRUCTOSE, which contributes to insulin resistance, and helps you store fat!
So the next time you see the Agave bottle sitting next to sugar and honey at Whole Foods, please don't think that is the healthy option. Sugar is sugar. Sugar causes you to store fat, not burn it!!
2. Canola Oil. This oil has been considered "healthy" because it does contain some omega-3 acids. But in order to make Canola Oil look nice and clear (which helps it sell) it has been refined beyond belief. This process can create some incredibly unhealthy trans-fats, which can damage your heart. When you dump this oil and replace it with healthier fats and oils, you'll have more energy.
3. Whole Grains. This is a biggie. As one of our friends in the food industry likes to say "whole grains are the biggest con I have seen since the filtered cigarette." The reason for this strong language is that "Whole Grains" basically don't exist in the food you eat! Yes they contain some extra nutrients, but grains need to be processed in SOME way to make bread and pasta. Any time a grain is ground down and you eat it, the starch gets converted to sugar.
This sets off the process where your insulin spikes and your body goes into fat storage mode.
4. Corn. I absolutely love that Jonny put Corn on this list of foods, because we have been telling people to pull corn out of their diet for a couple years now. The Magic Fridge Recipe guide features no corn at all, and The PEERtrainer Cheat System moves you away from all of these dangerous foods at your own pace.
There are several big reasons why corn should be taken out of the diet. First is that 85% of corn is genetically modified. This is a controversial area, but we are seeing more and more evidence that indicates people need to take this threat seriously. Second, most corn that has been consumed has been processed and stripped of most vitamins and minerals. Third and most importantly, corn is very high glycemic, which spikes your blood sugar leading to a metabolic disaster.
The every now and then piece of corn on the cob is fine, and some local organic fresh corn in the summer is fantastic. Other than this, stay away from corn as well as you can. Corn is also one of the 7 foods that people remove for 7 days in the Fresh Start Cleanse, and many people respond really well to this.
5. Foods High In Xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens are compounds that basically act like estrogen in the human body. Unfortunately, our food supply is teeming with them.
Too much estrogen in your body, regardless of where it comes from, leads to a condition known as estrogen dominance.
Estrogen dominance can affect weight gain, fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, migraines, menstrual disturbances, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts and breast cancer.
Estrogen is produced not only internally but also produced in reaction to chemicals and other substances in our food. When it is not broken down adequately, higher levels of estrogen build up. You can avoid exposure to harmful xenoestrogens by avoiding crops that are heavily sprayed with pesticides.
One also wants to avoid factory farmed meat and eggs, and opt for a more pasture focused option if money allows. One of the WORST things about estrogen dominance is that it forces fat onto your hips and belly.
Jonny is a wealth of knowledge, and a specialist in teaching people the science of how fat is burned. Click here to learn about what foods Dr. Bowden does recommend. We have featured Jonny for years at PEERtrainer, because he is such a good teacher. His presentation on the 5 foods that trigger a lean body reponse is also a good primer on fat burning 101.
What Is A "Lean Body Response?"
This is a term recently coined by Dr. Bowden to explain what happens when you get the right mix of foods in your diet. When you get things right, it literally triggers a response where your body starts to burn more fat for energy.
This is an innovative concept, because it is the opposite of traditional dieting where you are counting calories or points. Or otherwise just eating less. The new science is showing us that there are certain foods that you really need to avoid, because they literally can "kill" your metabolism.
And just like there are foods that trigger fat storage, no matter how much you portion control them, there are foods that trigger the lean body response. Learn more about these 5 yummy foods right here.
Jonny is fearless when it comes to telling the whole world that traditional dieting does not work. He was equally fearless on the Dr. Oz show a couple months ago where he said that the entire medical community's advice about cholesterol was totally wrong!!
The Scientific Validation Behind The "Lean Body Response"
According to Walter Willet, MD and Professor Of Nutrition At The Harvard School Of Public Health eating the exact foods that Dr. Bowden says to AVOID (not eat less of) "can cause quick, sharp spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels, and over time can increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease." These continual spikes in blood sugar and insulin lead to a "vicious cycle leads to weight gain and, in turn, to the conditions associated with excess weight (such as blood triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes)."
The traditional diet approach where you count the fat in your food does not necessarily lead to a triggering of the lean body response. The reason for this is that certain fats help your body burn fat efficiently. Other fats, like the very commonly consumed canola oil, help to bring your fat burning to a halt.
Getting the right mix of foods can be a challenge, but Jonny is literally an expert at what to eat and what not to eat. He can pinpoint the exact foods that literally inflate your fat cells. And this is all based in the latest science. Learn The 2 Foods That Literally INFLATE Your Fat Cells
Warning: Jonny is not a famous celebrity who you have seen on TV or in the movies. He is kind of nerdy and a little weird. But he knows his stuff, and has multiple NY Times Best Selling books to prove this. We say this because the big weight loss companies use famous actresses to manipulate you to believe their systems work. Which they can for the short term, but long term they fail (as 96% of you know). And they fail because they fail to trigger the lean body response- the same thing they are teaching at Harvard right now!
A Tip To Help You Remove These Foods From Your Diet
A lot of people express frustration at the idea of having to remove any foods from their diet. It is a suggestion that really does make life more difficult or challenging. One of the things you can do that works really well is simply take it one meal at a time. A yummy breakfast smoothie done the right way can really help in this area, and this page has 4 recipes for you to try. (The Chocolate Decadence Recipe is a favorite.)
A Tip To Help You Remove Toxins From Your Body
Many of you have said that you want to learn more about how to avoid xenoestrogens, and reduce the toxic buildup in your body. The issue here is that we live in a toxic world, there is no getting around that. It is important to know that detoxification is a naturally occurring process. What we choose to eat has a direct impact on how well this process happens!
By eating the RIGHT foods, and avoiding the WRONG foods, you can unleash the power of your body’s primary fat burning hormone to lose weight an detoxify. Jonny has put together a simple explanation of exactly how you can do this for yourself right now here on the next page.
We really hope you enjoy all of this, and we always look forward to hearing from you!
