Starting any types of diet program can be very confusing because of a lot of restrictions. You cannot eat this, have much of that, refrain from those, etc. You cannot take them all in at the same time and your confusion may only make your pursuit fail. Well, it really takes time to get use to a certain day by day diets plan. But the best way to start is to minimize consumption of processed foods.
Why processed foods? There are two major reasons why you should stay away from them especially when you are on a quest to lose weight.
1. Because they contain a lot of sugar – sugar is the number one enemy of the body, especially when too much is consumed. It causes spike in the blood sugar level which is not good specifically to diabetics and those with heart ailments. For dieters, fluctuating blood sugar may cause weight gain because of sudden cravings and over production of insulin which are stored as fat as the body reacts to the plummeting surge of the blood sugar.
2. Because they contain harmful chemicals – the liver is the one responsible for fat-burning in the body. At the same time, it also filters everything that passes through it to keep the body from being poisoned. When you eat processed foods, the liver would have lesser time for fat burning since it would give more focus on filtering the harmful chemicals that are present in the foods that you ate. Thus, the fat gets stored inside the body.
Processed foods are very convenient but they are not good for your day by day diets. So, as much as possible, go for the natural foods. Stay away from packaged meals and make it a point that you consume foods nearest their natural state.
