2 Shocking Foods That Make You Gain Weight

In this piece, I will reveal two calorific foods most people mistakenly think are "healthy." Just a word of warning, these two foods may surprise you.

Now, I'm not going to give you another lecture on how bad high fructose corn syrup and trans fats are for your health. It seems as though everyone already knows this. As an alternative, read on below to uncover a few foods that make you gain weight.

You should consider eliminating these foods from your diet.

Wheat and whole wheat products are the first kind of food mistakenly thought to be good for you. Wheat products include: pasta, cereals, muffins, breads, crackers, bagels, etc.

Most of us have some amount of intolerance to the gluten found in wheat. What a lot of people don't understand is that wheat was never intended to be eaten in such large quantities. Our digestive system has not yet adapted to the huge quantities of wheat in our current diet.

Humans first introduced wheat into their diet only in the past few thousand years; only in the past 80 to 100 years has the quantity of wheat in our diet increased to enormous proportions. This is such a small amount of time when paralleled to the conventional hunter gatherer diet humans developed over thousands of years. That diet consisted of seeds, meats, veggies, nuts, and fruits.

From experience, once I eliminated wheat from my diet I started to lose weight after about 2 to 3 weeks. I also felt better. Other people have eliminated wheat products from their diet and have experienced similar results. Not only do they lose body fat quicker, but problems like headaches and upset stomach that have afflicted them for ages seem to disappear. In some instances, eliminating wheat products from your diet could cause skin irritations to go away.

Fruit Juice is the second shocking fatty food (orange and apple juice are the two worst offenders).

Listen carefully; fruits are extremely important to us in order to maintain a healthy diet. Nevertheless, humans weren't intended to only consume the caloric, syrupy concoction and discard all the valuable parts of the fruit.

Only drinking the juice will not get you the same appetite killer that the nutrients in the whole fruit gives you. What happens is that you're left hankering for more carbohydrates. Not only that, but the fiber in fruit helps to slow the blood sugar response when compared to fruit juice.

Over consuming fruit juice is making you heavy. Alternatively, you can sustain a healthy balanced diet by eliminating fruit juice and instead eating whole fruits.
