Tori Amos got this gift for christmas: the Biggest Loser weight loss kit. It comes with a journal, recipes, a workout CD, tape measurer, and a calorie-counting notebook. She didn’t think she’d ever do the program, so she gave it to me. Not that I am fat or anything, she just thinks I’m very organized and would count calories (which I’ve done in the past, so I can see where she got that idea).
Upon closer inspection of the kit last night, I ran into this tid-bit of information, and I didn’t feel like just sitting on it Here it goes:
There are foods that induce hunger, and basically work against you in your quest to lose weight. These foods have been stripped out of all fiber, so your body takes no time to process them and turn them into sugar. So you get a high, and burn it quickly, making you crash. You also finish with more hunger/cravings for the same type of food. Hence, an addiction is born. Here are some examples of it:
- White breads
- White pasta
- White potatoes
- Pastries
- Donuts
- Cinnabons
- Soft Pretzels
- Cookies
I know it’s obvious that these things are not good for you, I just didn’t know that they actually worked against you. When you diet, why would you make things HARDER for yourself? It’s plenty hard already!
There you go. Some food for thought 😉
