air max 95 Foods to Avoid

[dobso988ec]

You may recall from last week’s newsletter that drinking our calories creates a major disconnect between brain and body. Our bodies do not register liquid calories very effectively. This means that we don’t eat less to compensate for those calories. Just as with soda, if you take in extra calories in a fluffy coffee drink, your body doesn’t even know it!

However, I firmly believe food is to be enjoyed. We just have to pick and choose which foods are worth a withdrawal on our health and which are not. Nothing is truly off limits. But to avoid a major hit to your health bank account, limit or avoid the following five foods.
But how many people drink these as their morning coffee drink? Even if you don’t splurge on the Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino, you’re probably doing more damage than you realize. Even a medium Caffè Vanilla Frappuccino Light Blended Beverage clocks in at 170 calories. Nearly all of them are sugar. It’s funny that the word “light” appears in the name of this drink.
I call it the Starbucks effect. Our morning coffee has gone from a calorie-free pick-me-up, to a whip-creamed, chocolate-drizzled, fat and calorie extravaganza. Most people hold up the large (venti) Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino Blended Crème as the example of coffee gone wild. It’s true. This drink will set you back 670 calories and 22 grams of fat, or nearly a third of your daily intake.3
Muffins are worse yet. In addition to increasing from three to six and a half ounces in recent years, they often contain trans fats. Trans fats truly are as bad as they’ve been made out to be. For every 2% increase in energy intake from trans fat there is a 23% increase in cardiovascular risk.5
The main problem with restaurant meals these days is the obnoxious serving sizes. Consider the evolution of pizza. From a reasonably healthy, vegetable-rich, thin-crust pie of decades past, we’ve arrived at the Pizza Hut Double Deep Pizza. Have a couple of slices and you’ll be blowing the fat and calorie budget.1
The typical bagel today is six ounces. Before portion sizes blew up, bagels weighed in at two ounces.4 If you enjoy that six ounce bagel, you can take in up to 500 calories. And that’s before the butter or cream cheese.

Donuts, Muffins, and “Super” Bagels
Unless you have iron discipline or train like an iron man tri-athlete, eating in restaurants more than once or twice a week is simply incompatible with good health and a healthy body weight.
Super-Sized Fast and Restaurant Food Meals
Your body, like a bank account, requires regular deposits of healthy, nutritious, disease-fighting foods. Your body can tolerate a few withdrawals here and there. A little junk food now and again never killed anyone. But too many withdrawals will lead to health problems.
If you love a muffin [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], consider it dessert. If you enjoy a morning bagel, go for whole grain. Make a mental note of how many calories you really are eat
The other problem with restaurant meals is that most of us are notoriously bad at estimating how many calories are in the foods we eat. Naturally, we underestimate. Add in the fact that most of us are notoriously bad at not eating everything in front of us. It’s a recipe for dietary disaster.
As with restaurant food and coffee drinks, donuts, muffins, and bagels pack a wallop. Portions have become huge. These items provide far more calories and fat than most people realize.
I’d be willing to bet that at least some of the blame for our national obesity epidemic can be placed on our habit of indulging in high calorie coffee “drinks.”

Be sure to enjoy your Double Deep Pizza, because you’ll have to pay for it with more than your wallet. At 1,200 calories, it will take you two solid hours of jogging to burn it off 2. And there’s nothing you can do to burn off the day and a half’s worth of saturated fat and the nearly two days’ worth of sodium from that meal.
