Foods to lose

Filed under: Programs — admin @ 11:55 am

Exciting new research helps pinpoint why some people just can’t lose weight. They are puffy. Puffy eyes, puffy ankles, puffy hands and puffy bellies! Why do people get puffy? Allergies!

But I am not talking about pollen or dust allergies, nor am I talking about serious life threatening food allergies from peanuts or shellfish. I am referring to low-grade, delayed reactions to food, that until recently have been completely ignored by medicine.

A recent study broke incredible ground in our understanding of our obesity epidemic. Researchers examined two groups of children — obese and normal weight. They found the obese children had three problems (all related) that the thin children didn’t have.

First they were much more inflamed (as measured through a special blood test) . Second, they had the beginnings of cholesterol plaques in their arteries. And third, they had 2½ times the level of delayed or food allergies.

So what’s happening? These hidden, low-grade food sensitivities trigger a chronic immune reaction and inflammation. And anything that causes inflammation interferes with your metabolism, leading to weight gain.

But the solution is simple: Try a one or two week break from the foods that most commonly cause these low-grade allergies. Not only will you lose weight, but also a whole host of other chronic health problems like headaches, fatigue, joint pain, sinus problems and more might go away.
Leave these foods out of your diet: gluten (wheat, barley, rye, spelt, oats, kamut), dairy, eggs, corn, yeast and citrus. Think of it as a cheap experiment. The side effect will be not only Weight Loss, but also relief from many food cravings.
