Well, these are foods you should avoid!!
These foods are empty calories that are rapidly absorbed in your body... spiking your blood sugar level for an initial energy high. This triggers an insulin reaction, driving levels back down and creating fatigue. You will feel hungrier and crave even more sugar. Those rapidly absorbed extra calories are stored as fat, putting you at risk for obesity. Also, these sweets contain saturated and trans fats that clog arteries and stunt weight loss.
Eat These Instead
These foods provide slow, sustained releases of energy for long-lasting fuel:
- Fiber-rich complex carbohydrates, including 100% whole grain bread, brown rice or steel-cut oats.
- Fresh vegetables and lean meats.
- If you crave something sweet, buy seasonal fruits such as pears, apples, or blueberries.
- Heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, like avocados and nuts.
