I’M NOT a fan of all of those simplified lists of what to do, or not to do. I don’t believe a list is that useful to change behavior.
But, that said, if you’ve already gotten yourself educated about a subject and are on the path of change for the better, a list can offer some quick tips.
And so it is with Health.com’s 25 Diet-Busting Foods You Should Never Eat article I just perused. The “foods” (I use that word liberally) that are cited have some common characteristics, such as:
- They’re dominated by three taste bud seducing flavors – salt, fat and sugar;
- They are about as far as a natural food (something that nature would recognize) as it gets, given the high processing, manufacturing and packaging;
- They’re cheap to make; and
- They’re marketed ad nauseum.
Perhaps you’ve heard of a few, or – gasp – you’re a frequent consumer of such beauties as:
- Pretzel dogs
- Fast food milkshakes
- Fast food pizza
- Meals from a box
- Sugary cereal
These, and many more, can be explored to your heart’s content and stomach’s duress here.
