Here goes nothing....
Fruit SHOULD NOT be avoided and DOES NOT slow weight loss.

You're right, it doesn't slow weight loss, it REVERSES it!
Read 'Good Calories, Bad Calories' by Gary Taubes to learn how wrong and unscientific your statement is.

I love fruit, but it's full of fructose and fructose (as we should all know by now) is worse than sugar.
It not only spikes insulin, (which causes fat storage) but (like alcohol) the only part of the body that
can process fructose is the liver. This means the body treats it like a toxin.

Of course fruit also has fibre, vitamins and other nutrients, but avoiding my beloved mandarins, apples
and bananas along with all grains and dairy is the sole reason I've lost over 30pounds with little effort.

blah blah blah..... keep on eating your processed pseudo food. I'll stick to my grown from the earth fruits.

There have been a few people express concerns that corn will kill you where you sit.

SHHHHHHHH!

Don't say it so loud. Corn was sleeping. If you wake it up, we will ALL pay.

This made me LOL.

ohhhhhh this is just too much for me right now :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I read that white bread, white rice ,any kind white flour in general .lol XD

Bananas are so good ! the key is moderation ! 1/2 of banana or 1/4 is not going to harm you ! eat bananas !! especially Before of after working out .

I eat two bananas with about 5 strawberries each morning for a week and then switch to other fruits another week and haven't had one problem loosing weight. In fact, I've lost 2 lbs this week alone. It's tasty and better than cereal to me.

I also enjoy the English tradition of tea with about 2 or 3 cubes of sugar (I have a sweet tooth) about once every three days. I figure I'm balancing my life out. I don't want to go from one extreme from the other. Overeating to depriving myself of everything I love. I want a good body and good joyful life to go with it. Some of that joy I still derive from food and how wonderful it is. That's just me and I perfectly fine with it.

Banana has so much sugar.

Hi everyone, sorry.. completely not related. How do I get one of the awesome trackers you all have at the bottom of your posts?

Depressing that some people would pay to get this kind of a list. You don't need to avoid any foods! Just be aware of the nutritional and caloric food values of things you eat and eat in moderation, limit the high calorie foods but there's no need to never eat anything.

My credentials... have lost 176lbs

Hi there. Where are you seeing these reports for sale? There is so much free (and accurate) information on the internet. I would start with Dr. Oz's book, YOU on a Diet. Or check out his web site. I would have to say that the top five foods never to eat are:
1. High Fructose Corn Syrup
2. Trans Fats (hydrogenated fat)
3. enriched flour
4. saturated fat (limit intake)
5. sugar (limit intake)

And I know Oz has info about foods that help eliminate belly fat. Green tea comes to mind. My best advice is to go to his site and do a search. Good luck!

I watched the video that was related to the ad you are referring to, and I think while I watched it, I did a giant eye roll and closed my web browser.

I remember the woman in the video saying that whole wheat bread was "bad" and that switching to spelt was best. THAT was it. We eat whole wheat, whole grain breads and pastas, and that is a-okay with me. I didn't feel like reorganizing my whole food inventory so I could have "spelt everything" on hand. Plus, I am not sure you can make spelt chocolate chip cookies - I could be wrong, but I'm not interested in chancing it.

I think the video also mentioned orange juice, and I happen to agree with that one. When I was younger, I would have cereal with milk and a glass of OJ before school at about 7 AM, and by 8:30 you could probably hear my stomach growling from 5 classrooms away. It was awful. A giant blood sugar drop like that makes most people feel like crap, so I have avoided OJ for a long time (though it is absolutely delicious). That being said, I figured it out all on my own - I didn't even need anyone else to sell it to me

DaughterOfTheMostHighKing

everything in moderation... the only thing I will not eat knowingly is animal guts/blood (think dog, cat, pet type animals...) and bitter foods. Asians eat a lot of bitters and I had my share growing up! ick!

I eat 4 bananas a day.... love them! they are a prebiotic. good for the digestive system!

5 foods to NEVER eat if you want to lose weight
1) McDonald's, in a diet that exceeds your TDEE
2) Broccoli, in a diet that exceeds your TDEE
3) White rice, in a diet that exceeds your TDEE
4) Salmon, in a diet that exceeds your TDEE
5) Bananas, in a diet that exceeds your TDEE

5 foods to ALWAYS eat if you want to lose weight:
1) McDonald's, in a diet that's under your TDEE
2) Broccoli, in a diet that's under your TDEE
3) White rice, in a diet that's under your TDEE
4) Salmon, in a diet that's under your TDEE
5) Bananas, in a diet that's under your TDEE

There no magic list of foods that will hurt or help weight loss. You can eat crap and lose weight. Or eat healthy foods and lose weight. Just eat less than you burn!

We just want things to be easy. "If only I stopped eating bananas, I wouldn't have to do any other work, and I could lose weight."

Some folks think bananas are bad for weight loss because they are high in sugars. But bananas are high in potassium, have a low glycemic index, are high in fiber, are very filling! Not to mention they have a convenient built-in thick skin which makes them easy to carry around (just try carrying around a pocketful of raspberries)! Too bad lots of people don't like the taste of them, I think they're yummy!

I don't really have 5 foods to never eat. I try my best to stay on track and eat healthy. But once in a while I will treat myself to what they call "bad for you", In moderation though. Correct portion sizes, and making sure I'm under my calorie intake is the only way for me to lose weight! A diet shouldn't be torture, in my opinion.

:flowerforyou:

But I SOOOO dont like them, I like the flavor....just not the fruit.. weird huh??

I don't like the fruit either! Only in fruit salad or something like that. Cut up? I'll give it a go. But whole? No way! haha

leanby2013

i love bananas so much, put them on everything, never had a problem with losing weight

justal313

One is banana's...although I don't know why...I think moderation is a key for me. If I agreed never to eat any of a particular food, ever again, I would probably crave it immediately! :ohwell:

I just read a topic about how bananas are the #1 food to make you feel full. :laugh:

I eat a banana and am hungry about 20 mins later

If I eat just a banana I can often feel hungry way too soon for having eaten something. If I have a piece of a cheese or a little natural peanut butter at the same time, I don't get hungry.

Fruit & Cheese, Red Wine, Olive oil, 35%meat/65%other, they've been eating that way in Europe for EVER, forget the Paeleo Diet or any other fad or trick, eat like the Europeans did before they started importing ideas and fast food from America.

PaleoPath4Lyfe

Has anyone ever figured out what those are, without having to actually buy the ....so called report?
And what about the one about losing stomach fat...5 foods to help eliminate stomach fat....
just curious is all!!

For me personally............

Grains
Sugar
Starch
Dairy
Most Fruit

forget the Paeleo Diet or any other fad or trick, eat like the Europeans did before they started importing ideas and fast food from America.

How is the latter any different than the former?

I quit reading after some said Doctor Oz said if you eat "Fill in the blank" you will "fill in the blank".

I'm not asking how 'eat like Europeans' is different than paleo, I'm asking how 'eat like Europeans' is different than any other fad or trick. The point is eating healthy. You can do that whether you're in New York or London or Madagascar or Tokyo.

Ok, gotcha. My point was that Europeans used to eat healthy before the influence of the standard American Diet, and you should eat healthy and since they've traditionally eaten healthy, it's as good guide as any as you start planning your meals Then worry about are you getting enough calories or too much, I'm willing to bet you won't have to go crazy trying to make sure you get all your nutrients.

Here goes nothing....



There is no one food that will make you gain weight or lose weight in it of itself. Ingesting food=intaking calories.



Weight loss is determined by fat/protein/carb intake and comes down to energy balances, or the difference between calories in vs. calories out. As long as you remain in a deficit, you will lose weight, no matter where you get the calories from.


Now micronutrients like vitamins and minerals should be considered too, so getting a wide range of whole foods can be beneficial.


Fruit SHOULD NOT be avoided and DOES NOT slow weight loss.

Agree!

I love bananas. I definitely don't abuse them though!

:flowerforyou:

I heard bananas were good for you in ...moderation, like maybe one a day. But I SOOOO dont like them, I like the flavor....just not the fruit.. weird huh??

I just thought maybe I'd get some responses to this topic and be able to pass around some information on MFP....talking to those of you who have done research!! (is that selfish of me.....???)

Bananas make my tongue & throat feel "fuzzy". LOL Weird right?

You're allergic to them.

The only way I can think of to abuse a banana would keep me from wanting to eat it.
