Hopefully by now everybody should know how dangerous trans fat and high fructose corn syrup are for you, so I will not get into this lecture… Instead, read on and see that a couple of foods could be packing on the fat in your body.

The first type of food that I’m talking about that people believe to be very healthy is wheat products…that includes the majority of breads, muffins, bagels, crackers, pasta, and so on. And you read correctly, I am including “whole wheat” in the category of fattening food.

First of all, it has been found that a large percentage of people have some level of intolerance to the gluten found in wheat and some other grains. People who have celiac disease are the most sensitive to it, but it is important to say that most of the population was never intended to eat large quantities of wheat. People need to realize that the human digestive system has never been adapted to large amounts of wheat in the diet.

People need to realize also that wheat was introduced in the human diet only in the last couple thousand years, and it was NEVER consumed in such large quantities in the human diet until the last 100 years. This is a very small time compared to the traditional diet that the human digestive system developed in the past several hundred thousand years eating a diet of meat, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and fruits.

Statistics and personal experiences have shown when people eliminate wheat from their diet for 2 to 3 weeks to see if they begin to feel better and mostly lose weight; it almost always makes a HUGE difference. Most of the time, people not only begin to lose weight much faster, but they also get rid of indigestion and headaches that haunted them for years. 

The second food among the fattening food list that might shock many people since it is believed to be “healthy” is fruit juice.

Do not misunderstand me, I’m absolutely not against anti-carb advocates per se…In fact, I know that most fruits are VERY healthy for everybody. Nevertheless, it was not meant for us to separate the juice from the rest of the fruit and drink only the high calorie juice and get rid of the fiber and other very beneficial components found in the rest of the fruit.

When people drink the juice of fruits such as apple juice and orange juice which are by the way the worst culprits in the western diet, you do not get the appetite satisfying effect that you would get from the fiber in the fruit, and you are left craving  more carbs. One more thing, the fiber found in a whole fruit contributes in slowing the blood sugar response when eating whole fruit compared to fruit juice consumption.  

 The fact is that drinking too much fruit juice will make you fat. On the other hand, consuming whole fruits with all the fiber will help you keep a healthy balanced diet and high nutrient density as long as the rest of your diet is whole unprocessed foods as well.
