The Worst Foods to Eat
Fat loss expert Tom Venuto has compiled a list of the worst foods to eat in his book
Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. These are foods that Tom says you have to
avoid if you want to lose body fat and get fit and healthy.
Tom explains in Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle that food quality doesn't fall neatly into two categories:
"good" or "bad." Rather, food quality ranges from very poor, to poor, to fair, to good, to excellent. It's a
scale or spectrum.
Food quality can range from highly processed with zero nutritional value on the low end of the scale (an
"F" grade) to all-natural with high nutritional value on the high end of the scale (an "A" grade).
Tom says that your goal should be to make the best choice possible from the foods available to you in any
given circumstance. You may not always be able to eat the best thing possible, but you don't have to eat the
worst thing either. If you're faced with a choice between bad and worse, choose bad. If you're faced with a
choice between good and great, choose great.
Here are seven of Tom's worst foods to eat:
- Doughnuts
- Ice cream
- Fried foods
- Pastries
- Potato chips
- Bacon
- Sausage
The primary reasons Tom considers these foods so bad are because they are high in empty calories, high in
sugar and/or unhealthy fat, and low in fiber. Many of these foods also cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, which
causes the body to produce high levels of insulin. This increases fat storage and can cause other health problems.
Now that you know some of the foods Tom considers to be the worst, find out some of the foods he considers to
be the best foods to eat if you want to lose body fat and get fit and healthy.
