"5 foods to never eat"...?

now this got a giggle out of me!

white foods
white bread
white pasta
white flour
white sugar
white rice

Side note, bananas burn my mouth. Now I know why, it's down right POISON!

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.

beefwalker, I agree!


This conversation is cracking me up. Everyone who is mentioning moderation is right on target. However, the way that certain foods apply to a diet is also very dependent on an individual's weight loss goals. What I mean is, a person whose goal is to lose 45 lbs can have a much different diet than a person trying to shed 5 lbs to rock a bikini on vacation. When you have a lot of weight to lose, you have more leeway because anything healthy is a good option. When you're down to ounces, though, a banana here or there might make the difference.

Personally, I have found that cutting flour (not all carbs, just flour), dairy and sugar make a huge difference, even on a day-to-day level. I especially try and avoid flour, whether it's wheat, rice or whatever, because it's so processed that it doesn't provide a lot of benefit; it's just filler. What's the point in eating something to just fill up and not do your body good? So my five foods to avoid are:

1. flour
2. processed sugar
3. dairy
4. father-in-law's cheesecake
5. fast food

fried food
white bread
creamy salad dressing
white rice
white sugar

I'm not sure to what you refer, but for me the foods to never eat would be:

bananas
lard
raw habanaro peppers
oatmeal
tomato dumplings

because I hate those things

This made me laugh out loud... Both times I saw it.

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:

Wow... I didn't know that and that is bad news for me. I eat a banana every moring for breakfast. The potasium helps to deal with the soreness/cramping the day after I cycle. I'll try this, but like you, I'll be craving a banana the next day!

WoW and I love banana's (maybe because it helps my sugar craving)
actually, i got a list of foods that will prevent you from losing weight from my doctor this week, and bananas is one of them.

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

I can't believe I read this whole thread. The only thing it did was make me crave my morning banana sooner than I would usually snack on it. Eating it now...I'll be hungry again before lunch, aww man!
