Anyone that has done body training of any sort has probably heard of Mike Geary. Though he became famous for his workouts for abs, he has recently been addressing what people eat and their diet. One of the most astonishing declarations he’s made has been about four foods that are billed as healthy foods. Well, he begs to differ. Listen to this:
Soy — the processing used in the production of soy makes it fattening for your body, and estrogens used change your body chemistry. Eating a small amount of unprocessed or organic soy foods is ok, but watch out for salad dressings and anything else that contains soybean oil, and contain the wrong fats. Miso (naturally fermented soy) helps to reduce the anti-nutrients in the soy, so is also ok to eat in small quantities.
Wheat — though wheat is a staple for the West, you may be surprised to hear that most people are at least slightly intolerant to the digesting of wheat. The way you can test yourself is by cutting out all wheat products from your diet for a few weeks, and see how you feel, look, and how your weight has done. If you’re significantly affected by wheat, it would be best to leave it out of your diet.
Diet Soda — or any sweetened juices! Any type of soda, even if sweetened with corn syrup or high fructose, is a NO, NO, NEVER food if you want to lose weight. It has ‘empty calories’ which means calories with no nutrition in them, which leaves your body craving more food!
Anything deep fried — this equals trans-fats, which equals BAD! These are poisons that will significantly cause inflammation throughout your entire body. Trans-fats disrupt healthy cell membranes, and impair cell growth, which make them especially unhealthy for children! Beware!
