At ez Diet, we only use whole and natural ingredient to promote healthy eating and good alternative for dieting. While you are still waiting for your order of ez Diet meals to be delivered on Sundays, here are a list of food to avoid. Foods to Never Eat - article by fitness magazine Drop that spoon! Everyone deserves the occasional indulgence, but before you dig in there are a handful of foods you should steer clear of to avoid damaging effects on your body, skin, and waistline. Here, experts weigh in on 10 foods to push off your plate for good. 1. Soy Sauce Soy sauce is low in calories and has some good vitamins and minerals like riboflavin and vitamin B-6, but the extremely high sodium content will leave you bloated and at risk for conditions like hypertension. There are so many low-sodium, lighter soy sauce options, theres no reason to buy the regular stuff anymore, says Taub-Dix. Yet she still recommends using the light stuff sparingly. A tablespoon of the low-sodium soy sauce is about 600 milligrams of sodium instead of 900, so it is less but not none. 2.Maraschino Cherries This preserved fruit might turn up in your cocktail or on your sundae. Start choosing the real deal over sugar-packed, processed maraschino cherries. These have artificial colors, like red-40 and red-3 dyes, that add no nutritional value, says Taub-Dix. 3.Jarred Tomato Sauce Its easy to forget sources of sugar when youre making recipes that arent traditionally considered sweet, but they do exist. Tomato sauce is a big culprit, says Dr. Tanzi. Make your own, because the store stuff has a ton of sugar. 4.Margarine Choose a small amount of regular butter or soft spread over stick-shaped margarine when topping foods or baking, says Taub-Dix. Margarine is usually loaded with trans fat, she says. Dont forget that stick margarine is found in plenty of pastries, crackers, snack foods, and even microwave popcorn, so limit intake to keep cholesterol levels in check. 5. Sugary Cereal A bowl of Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, or Capn Crunch might taste like nostalgia, but itll wreak some havoc with its high amount of inflammation-causing sugar and gluten content. For some people with sensitive skin, gluten can exacerbate breakouts, leading to increased redness and, yes, more breakouts, says Dr. Tanzi. Opt for low-sugar, gluten-free options like Rice Chex and Corn Flakes. 6.Soda Dietitians and doctors all agree: Soda should be nixed from your diet completely. One can of soda is like a can of water with 10 packets of sugar in it, says nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD, CDN, and director and owner of BTD Nutrition Consultants, LLC. The recommended amount of daily sugar for a woman is about six teaspoons or 24 grams, and soda has way more than that. Good old fashion H2O is still your best option. If you want to jazz it up, add a slice of fresh fruit for flavor. 7. Processed Baked Goods So convenient, so tasty (if were being honest here), but so not worth it. Those pre-packaged mini muffins, doughnuts, and dessert cakes will add tons of calories and loads of unwanted sugar to your diet, plus they arent easy to digest. These foods are bad on so many levels, because they are filled with high sugar content and preservatives for a longer shelf-life -- they can literally sit there forever, says Dr. Tanzi. Sugar increases inflammation in the skin, which on top of irritating acne and rosacea, can make you look puffy and bloated. Skip the wrapped stuff and grab fresh fruit for a sweet fix instead. 8. Frosting That store-bought frosting from a tub might taste great on cakes and cookies, but its packed with problems. Its one of the only items in the grocery store that still has trans fats, which are terrible for your health and waistline, says Melina Jampolis, MD, physician nutrition expert and coauthor of The Calendar Diet. Trans fat raises bad cholesterol, lowers good cholesterol, and causes inflammation, which can lead to belly fat and diseases ranging from heart disease to diabetes. On top of that, tub frosting is loaded with sugar, and high-sugar diets contribute to premature wrinkles. Yikes. 9. Bagels If youre prone to skin problems and tempted to grab a bagel before you go in the morning, think twice. Bagels have a massively high glycemic index, which increases insulin and leads to increased inflammation in the body, which is shown to possibly accelerate aging and worsen acne and rosacea, says dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, codirector of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, DC. Opt for an English muffin with peanut butter instead. ezdiet.my
