Foods That Just Aren’t Worth Eating
Trying to keep healthy?
Or lose some weight?
How about building muscle? Is that on your ‘goals to achieve’ list?
There’s definitely a ‘trick’ to it (if you want to call it that) … and that’s to only put foods into your body that will help you realize your goals.
Want to be lean? Eat healthy.
Want to build sexy muscle? Eat healthy!
Want to have more energy? Eat healthy!!
Want to be healthy? Well… EAT HEALTHY !!! (oh, did I say that already?)
Remember: Health begets health.
So while you’re on your mission to be healthy and lean, here’s some foods that really just are NOT worth eating. They do nothing to help your cause and will probably just sabotage your efforts.
Stay away from soft drinks. There’s nothing good about them.
Sugar, food coloring and carbonated water. What on earth would make anyone think that combination is good for them?
And if you’re thinking you can make it better by drinking the ‘diet’ version instead to keep your calories low, consider this: it’s calorie free but it’s still sweet, therefore it’s sweetened with artificial sweetener.
Excuse me but artificial sweeteners are all either made completely from chemicals or are chemically processed to remove the calories.
Either way, they are the equivalent of drinking poison. Stay away from soft drinks. If you absolutely must drink your fizzy treat, then stick to club soda. Need flavor? Add a lemon or lime wedge.
Avoid deep fried foods. They’re almost always chock full of hydrogenated oils, trans fats and all sorts of other indigestible, fattening calories.
If you want to have your fries, try sprinkling some heart-healthy coconut oil or olive oil on potatoes, sweet potatoes or yams and bake them in the oven. This is a far healthier way to get your ‘french-fry’ fix.
Skip the bacon. Bacon is full of nitrates and absolutely jammed with salt and unhealthy fat.
Want a tasty meat treat? Try some cooked shrimp. Or a chicken breast prepared on the grill. You’ll get a lot more nutrients for your body and a lot less complaining from your heart.
Avoid donuts. Deep fried white-flour dough covered in white, processed sugar. Remind me how this could ever be considered a good thing to eat?
They contain no nutritional quality and lots and lots of calories and bad fats makes this so called ‘food’ very high on the list of foods that just aren’t worth eating.
Potato chips of any description are also very high on this list of foods that aren’t worth eating.
Why? Deep fried potatoes with the skins peeled off (which is where most of the nutrition in a potato resides). They’re highly caloric and again hold little nutritional quality.
So, it’s best to keep away from this so-called ‘food’ too, if you’re looking to be the healthiest, leanest version of you possible.
Don’t eat margarine. All margarine happens to be is oils and food colouring with artificial flavoring added to make it resemble butter. It’s very high in calories and very devoid of nutrition.
If you want to spread something on your meals or whole grain bread, make it the real thing: good ol’ natural butter.
Sure, it’s high in calories but at least there’s some nutrition in butter. And usually butter doesn’t contain chemicals or artificial flavors. If you can find a brand that doesn’t use artificial coloring, you’re golden (but your butter won’t be)!
Remember what I mentioned at the beginning: Health begets health.
The healthier you can make the food you eat, the faster your body will reward you with better health and a leaner physique.

Disagree with the bacon statement. There are plenty of nitrate-free bacon offerings. And the uncured smoked bacon products are usually quite low in sodium and calories. It has no carbs, offers some protein and satiety-driving fat. Everything else on the list is rock-solid advice.

YUP!! there’s definitely SOME nitrate free versions. I’m referring to the traditional cured pig, buy it at Safeway kinda bacon… I still don’t think smoked meat of any description is healthy. Let’s add some carcinogens into the processing of our meat? Thanks, but I’ll pass… But thanks for the comment and making that point. Very helpful. cheers
