Here are the 7 weight loss blocking foods:

1) Cereal

I am so sorry to be the one and burst the bubble, but cereal is deceiving too many people. While there are several types of cereals and nutritional values for each, the majority of them are fairly high in sugars and sodium.

2) Canned Foods

While this may be a surprise to many, canned foods are deceptive and should be avoided if possible. The reason for this is because in order to preserve the quality and taste of the food item, they are loaded with sodium, sugars, trans fats and saturated fats. All of these items will prevent weight loss.

3) Processed Foods

Foods that are processed (like boxed meals) tend to contain bad fats (saturated fats) and contain little nutritional value. It is best to stay away from these foods as there are alternative choices that can be used. A great alternative to processed food is to purchase anything that is all natural if possible. They tend to be lower in sodium and saturated fats.

4) Pasteurized Milk

Pasteurized milk should be avoided due to the fact that when milk is pasteurized, it tends to destroy some of milk’s important nutrients like iodine for example. Therefore, to get the most benefits from milk, I recommend that you get the raw milk instead.

5) Fruit Juices & Sodas

Although fruit juices may taste great and help quench your thirst, most are loaded high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). This ingredient is also used as a sweetener and is practically half fructose and half glucose. Unfortunately, it wreaks havoc with your insulin levels as it hits your blood stream very quickly. As a result, the high insulin coupled with the high concentration of simple carbs in the blood leads to fat storage.

6) Frozen Meals

Anytime you go to the grocery store and head towards the frozen food section aisle, you will find a few common denominators. Most of them are high in sodium and fats. The reason for this is to make sure the quality and taste of the food do not diminish. Sodium and trans fatty acids help to preserve the food and should be instead substituted for an all natural source of the same food.

7) Bread

While I recommend eating bread as a part of adding variety to your diet, consuming it in excess can be dangerous! In addition, some breads are high in corn syrup and trans fatty acids. Thus, if you choose to eat some breads, make sure that they are all natural and limit your consumption to 2-3 slices at a time.
