Here is a list of 20 foods that are very unhealthy in general.
If you want to lose weight and prevent chronic disease, then you should not eat many of these foods.
In many cases, the best way to completely avoid.
This article mentions healthier alternatives whenever possible.
1. Sugary Drinks
Sugar [1] is the only one in the modern diet ingredient worse.
However, some sources of sugar are worse than others, and sugary drinks are the absolute worst [2] .
When people drink calories from sugar, "Sign up" the brain no food.
For this reason, people are not automatically eat less of other foods instead balanced, and over time dramatically increase your total caloric intake [3] ( 1 , 2 , 3 ).
Sugar, when consumed in large amounts, can lead to insulin resistance in the body and is strongly associated with alcoholic fatty liver [4] disease. It is also brought to a variety of serious diseases, including type 2 diabetes and heart disease in compound ( 4 , 5 , 6 ).
Sugary drinks are also modern aspect fattening food and drink in large quantities can cause fat gain [5] and obesity ( 7 , 8 , 9 ).
Alternatives: drinking water, sparkling water, coffee or tea instead. Add a slice of lemon in the water in the water or soda can add a little spice, if you do not like simple.
[6]
2. Most pizzas
Pizza is one of the favorite junk foods in the world.
This is not surprising because it tastes good and is incredibly easy to eat.
The problem is that most commercially prepared pizzas [7] be seriously unhealthy ingredients.
The dough is with highly refined flour, meat, and they are usually treated. Pizza is also very high in calories.
Alternatives: Some pizzerias use healthy ingredients. Pizzas are also very healthy, as long as you choose healthy ingredients.
3. White Bread
The bread is generally produced from wheat gluten proteins.
For this reason, all wheat-based bread a bad idea for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance [8] .
However, most commercial breads are unhealthy, even for people intolerant to gluten.
This is because the vast majority of them are from refined wheat that is low in important nutrients (empty calories), and leads to rapid blood sugar spikes (from 10 ).
Alternatives: For people who can not tolerate gluten, Ezekiel bread [9] . It is an excellent opportunity to whole grains [10] Bread is definitely better (or "less bad") than white bread.
If you have problems with gluten or carbohydrates, so here are 15 recipes [11] for both gluten-free breads and low in carbohydrates.
4. Most juices
Juice [12] It is often assumed to be healthy, but it is wrong.
Many juices are actually a little sugar water flavored fruit.
It is true that the juice contains antioxidants and vitamin C, but this must be weighed against the large amount of liquid sugar.
In fact, the juice contains as much sugar as a sweet drink like Coca-Cola or Pepsi, and sometimes even more ( 11 ).
Alternatives: There are some juices that have health benefits, despite the sugar content, such as Granada juice and blueberries [13] juice.
However, they must be seen as complementary, not something you drink every day, to quench the thirst. Drink water [14] into force.
5. Industrial vegetable oils
In the last 100 years, humans have increased their consumption of added fat.
However, this was only to a drastic increase in the consumption of refined vegetable oils such as soybean [15] oil, corn [16] , oil, cotton seed oil and rape seed oil [17] .
These oils are omega-6, which never people consume in such large quantities before rich.
There are many serious concerns [18] with these oils. Are very sensitive to oxidation and leads to increased oxidative stress in the body. They were (was also associated with an increased risk of cancer 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ).
Alternatives: Use healthy fats such as coconut oil [19] , butter, extra virgin olive oil [20] or avocado oil instead.
6. margarine
Margarine [21] are used to be as a healthy alternative to butter.
Fortunately, now most people understand that this. Far from the truth
Margarine is a highly processed pseudo-foods that are designed to look and taste like butter.
It is loaded with artificial ingredients and is usually with industrial vegetable oils that have been hydrogenated to make them solid. This increases their trans fatty acids [22] clearly content.
Please note that manufacturers may [23] to their "trans fat free" as long as products contain less than 0.5 grams per serving, which still mark a significant amount.
Alternatives: Use real butter [24] in force, preferably grass [25] cows.
7. cakes, cookies and cakes
Most cakes, biscuits and cakes are extremely unhealthy.
They are usually made with refined sugar, refined flour and fats, often unhealthy fats like shortening Disturb (rich in trans fats) are made.
These treats are literally some of the worst things you can put in your body. Almost without essential nutrients, but tons of calories and unhealthy ingredients.
8. fries and chips
Whole white potatoes [26] are very healthy.
However, it can not be said of the products derived therefrom, such as chips and fries.
These foods are high in calories, and is easy to eat too much. Several studies link the consumption of potato chips and french fries with weight gain ( 20 , 21 ).
These foods can also large amounts of acrylamide, carcinogens that if the potatoes are fried, baked or fried to form included ( 22 , 23 ).
Alternatives: potatoes are best eaten boiled, not fried. If you need something to replace crispy chips, try carrots [27] or nuts.
9. The gluten junk food
Gluten is in fashion these days.
About a third of people in the US are (to avoid looking for the gluten, a survey of 2013 24 ).
The problem with many gluten-free diet [28] , is that people replace foods containing gluten processed junk foods that are gluten free pass.
This gluten substitutes are high in sugar, unhealthy oils and refined grains such as corn starch or tapioca. These refined starches cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels and are extremely low in essential nutrients.
Alternatives: Choose foods that are gluten-free by nature, and non-transformed plants and foods. Junk food gluten is still junk food.
10. Agave Nectar
Agave nectar [29] is a sweetener that is often marketed as healthy.
However, agave syrup is not as healthy as some think. This is a very refined sweeteners, which is extremely high in fructose.
Large amounts of fructose from sweeteners (fruit not together) can be quite disastrous [30] for health ( 25 ).
The truth is that agave is in fructose than other sugars even higher.
While table sugar contains 50% fructose corn syrup and high fructose about 55%, agave syrup is 85% fructose ( 26 ).
Alternatives: Stevia [31] and erythritol [32] are healthy, natural, zero calories. There is a list of several more healthy and natural sweeteners in this article [33] .
11 low-fat yogurt
Yogurt [34] can be incredibly healthy.
Unfortunately, most yogurts are found in the supermarket, very bad for you.
They are often loaded into little fat, but with sugar, compensate for the lack of taste, provide fats.
In other words, the yogurt, healthy and natural had milk [35] fat removed to something worse to be replaced.
In addition, many yogurts have not actually contain probiotic bacteria [36] , as is generally believed. Often they have been pasteurized after fermentation, which kills all bacteria.
Alternatives: Choose yogurt with live cultures all regular fat or assets (probiotics) contains. When you get your hand, choose yogurt from grass-fed cows.
12. Low-carb junk food
Diet low in carbohydrates [37] are very popular these days, and for several decades.
There are many real foods you eat on a low carb diet, most of which are in very good health.
However, this is not true replacement low in processed carbohydrates such as treated low-carb [38] and a meal replacement.
These are highly processed foods usually contain very little actual food, just mixed a lot and sold as a dietary artificial ingredients.
Alternatives: If you are on a low carb diet, eating foods that are naturally low in carbohydrates. Low-carb junk food is still junk food.
13. Ice Cream
Ice is one of the most delicious food in the world.
Unfortunately, it is also one of the unhealthiest. Most commercial ice cream loaded with sugar.
Ice is also rich in calories and is very easy to overeat. Food for dessert is even worse, because then you add to your total calorie intake.
Alternatives: You can make your own ice cream with healthy ingredients and a lot less (or no) sugar.
Chocolate bars 14th
Chocolate bars are very unhealthy
They are rich in sugar, refined flour and trans fats. They are very low in important nutrients.
Processed foods such as candy are usually designed to be super tasty (if you eat more), and are designed to eat too fast.
Candy bar taste and may cause some short-term satiety, but still tend to hungry because of the way they are metabolized sugar candy.
Alternatives: eat a piece of fruit [39] in force, or a piece of real high cocoa dark chocolate [40] .
15. Meat
Although raw meat [41] can be healthy and nutritious, the same can not be said of processed meat.
Studies show that people who eat sausages have a higher risk for many serious diseases, including colon cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease ( 27 , 28 ).
Most of these studies are observational in nature and can not demonstrate that meat causes the disease therefore.
However, the statistical relationship is strong and consistent across studies, so I think it's something.
Alternatives: If you want to eat bacon [42] , sausages, sausages and other meat "processed" and choose wisely and try to buy locally providers who are not a lot of unhealthy ingredients. Quality counts.
16 Cheese
Regular cheese [43] is healthy.
It is loaded with nutrients and a slice of cheese contains the same nutrients as solid glass milk [44] .
However, processed cheese products are nothing like regular cheese. Most of them are combined filler ingredients and designed to have a similar look and cheesy.
Cheese is healthy, but not cheese. Read the labels and make sure that the cheese is actually eating cheese.
Alternatives: eat real cheese instead.
17. Most fast food
In general, the chain of "fast food" is used only junk food.
Most of the food offered is mass-produced, high-tech junk food with little nutritional value.
These places are very cheap in general, but keep in mind that junk food, twice the cost.
For every dollar you save it there, chances are, it will cost much more in the future. Poor health is expensive.
Alternatives :. Fortunately, all kinds of fast food places in good health began to appear Chipotle [45] is a good example.
18 calorie drinks "coffee"
Café [46] unfairly demonized.
In fact, it is very healthy [47] and loaded with antioxidants.
Studies also show that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of serious diseases such as type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease ( 29 , 30 ).
Unfortunately, things are sometimes added to coffee makes this wonderful drink of harmful sludge.
If your "coffee" has a lot of artificial cream and sugar, then it is not good for you.
It is loaded with liquids, empty calories and be as unhealthy as any other sweet drink.
Alternatives: United drinking coffee instead. Black is best, but small amounts of cream or whole milk are good.
19. All that is rich in sugar, refined grains and vegetable oils
One of the most important things you can do is to eat healthier, to read the labels.
It is important to avoid (or minimize) foods containing:
- Sugar (and high fructose corn syrup [48] ).
- Refined grains like white flour.
- Industrial vegetable oils.
- Artificial trans fats.
Here are some of the healthiest (and most common) ingredients in the modern diet [49] .
The importance of reading labels can not be overestimated, and this applies to all foods, even so-called healthy foods [50] .
20. The most highly processed foods
By far the easiest way to eat healthy and lose weight [51] , is to avoid processed foods [52] as much as possible.
In other words, if it looks like it was made in a factory, then it's probably bad for you.
A good rule to remember is that real food not list the ingredients the way food ingredient required
