 Eat This Not That!
Are you eating these wrong foods?
I see it happen all the time…fat loss results that are trashed by eating the wrong foods. Please don’t let this be you. You exercise hard, so keep your results by avoiding these 7 foods:  Spaghetti Squash Primavera with Chicken
1) Don’t Eat: White Pasta
I'm going to be honest with you...White pasta will NEVER be OK to eat when your goal is to look fit. Sorry, it’s filled with way too many simple carbs. These plentiful carbs have one singular goal: to be stored on your body as fat. Eat This: Spaghetti Squash On those nights when you really crave a big bowl of noodles, try this instead. Cut a spaghetti squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and then bake at 400 degrees F for 45-60 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool, and scrape out the long, noodle-like strands of squash. Serve these healthy noodles instead of the white pasta kind with your favorite spaghetti sauce and a lean protein, such as lean meatballs or chicken.  Homemade Salad Dressing
2) Don’t Eat: Store Bought Salad Dressing
You're on a roll, and eating healthy salads more often...which is great! Except...the nutritional benefit of your salad is all but undone by the questionable ingredients in store bought salad dressing. From trans fats to preservatives, store bought salad dressing is a landfill of unnatural ingredients that are best avoided. Eat This: Simple Homemade Dressing Making you own salad dressing is so simple, it literally takes less than five minutes, it tastes so much better when it's freshly made. AND its a whole lot healthier. Here’s the equation to use when making your own dressing:
 Raw Cashews
3) Don’t Eat: Packaged Granola Bars
Packaged bars have one thing going for them—the convenience factor. This convenience comes at a price, as each packaged bar contains more preservatives, carbs, calories and added sugars than you should be eating. Eat This: Raw Nuts When you need a quick, energizing snack look no further than a handful of raw nuts. This is a great way to cut down on the sugar and other harmful additives in granola bars while still enjoying a convenient energy boost  Fresh Brewed Unsweetened Tea
4) Don’t Drink: Blended Coffee Drinks
Coffee chains have made it socially acceptable to sip on a large blended sugary coffee drink topped with whipped cream, anytime and anyplace. Unfortunately, your body is going to respond to all that sugar in the only way that it knows how…by storing it as fat. These blended drinks are extremely addictive, and extremely high in calories, so it’s best to avoid them completely. Drink This: Unsweetened Iced Tea The whole idea behind blended coffee drinks is to quench your thirst and cool you down, but there are more fitness-friendly ways to do so. Double brew 4 cups of your favorite tea – try Chai Rooibos —then chill it in the fridge for a few hours. Serve over ice and prepare to be relieved! If you need a small caffein boost try making your own brewed iced coffee, or black tea. Guilt-free refreshment.  Gluten-Free Mini Muffins
5) Don’t Eat: Fast Food Breakfast Sandwiches
The drive thru may be calling you, especially when you’ve left for work in such a hurry that you forgot to eat breakfast. But don’t give in. Fast food breakfast sandwiches are filled with loads of preservatives, trans fats and questionable ingredients. Not to mention these little breakfast bombs contain more calories and fat than you need in the morning. Eat This: Grain-Free Mini Muffins Try this recipe for Gluten-Free Mini Muffins, which make the perfect on-the-go breakfast or snack to keep you out of the drive thru line. Make a batch on the weekend to stock the fridge and then grab as needed throughout your busy week.  Plain Greek Yogurt
6) Don’t Eat: Flavored Yogurt
Little cups of fruit-flavored yogurts are often marketed as the next best weight loss secret, but you know better. These ultra-sweet concoctions are filled with sugars, corn syrup and preservatives, which will derail your fitness results and send you on a sugar high. Eat This: Plain Greek Yogurt with Fruit Plain Greek yogurt has more protein and far less sugar than the cute little fruit-flavored yogurt cups. Dress it up by adding your own, chopped fresh fruit.  Homemade Kale Chips
7) Don’t Eat: Potato Chips
Around three o’clock in the afternoon, when that vending machine is calling out your name, remember this fact: Studies suggest that a potato chip habit caused subjects to gain weight even faster than an ice cream habit. This is likely due to all the preservatives, trans fats, empty calories and salt, and how hard it is to each just a few. Eat This: Bake Kale Chips Kale chips are crunchy and satisfying, just like potato chips, yet you’re able to crunch away guilt-free. Filled with fiber, protein and real food nutrients, this is one crunchy snack that won’t expand your waistline. Here’s how to make them at home:
