I could not get a six pack until I cut these five foods out of my diet. Trust me, I worked really hard to get lean. I have been exercising since I was 13. When I was in my early 20’s, I competed in full contact kickboxing. I trained and worked out so much that I needed 6000 calories/day or I would lose weight, and I still didn't have much of a six pack. Then I stopped eating these five foods, and I got shredded in a few months.
#1 Food That Make Us Fat: Processed (Refined) Sugar
Before buying anything in a box, bag, or bottle, read the label. If sugar is listed in the first 3 ingredients, don’t touch it, it will make you fat guaranteed. Sugar digests almost instantly and goes directly into your bloodstream. Your pancreas responds by secreting massive amounts of insulin into your blood stream. Insulin makes your body to convert the sugar into fat.
#2 Food That Make Us Fat: White Flour
This includes white bread, crackers, pasta, and cereals. Read the label. If “unbleached flour,” “bleached four,” “enriched flour,” or any other type of "flour" is listed in the first 3 ingredients, don’t touch it unless you want to get fat. White flour digests to sugar just as fast as table sugar and produces a similar insulin response.
#3 Food That Makes Us Fat: "White" Potatoes
Is the potato white on the inside? Don't eat it. Potatoes have an ultra high glycemic index meaning they digest to sugar very quickly and cause an insulin spike. You guessed it:
#4 Food That Makes Us Fat: Anything Deep Fried
Most deep fried foods are breaded with white flour, or they are potatoes (french fries). White flour and potatoes quickly digest to sugar which causes your pancreas to dump insulin in your blood turning your body into a fat storing machine. If that weren't bad enough, the food is also dripping in high calorie saturated fats.
#5 Food That Makes Us Fat: White Rice
Just like white bread, white rice is another refined grain that digests to sugar very quickly. Eat too much, and you will get fat.
So That's Why Americans Are So Fat...
By now you've probably realized that most Americans eat A LOT of these 5 foods, and this is precisely why 74% of Americans are overweight or obese! 74 percent - that's insane! If you are part of the 74%, you now know exactly what you are eating that is making you fat and exactly what you need to stop eating to get your normal, healthy body back.
When you stop eating these foods, you will notice that you start losing fat like crazy (it's almost scary). You will also notice that you can eat A LOT of good unprocessed food (as much as you want, anytime you want), and you will still be losing weight.
Maybe you know these foods are bad for you, but they taste too good, and it's hard to stop eating them. It's hard to change; you need an action plan to change your habits. You need to start small and change progressively because changing everything all at once is extremely difficult.
