The 16 Foods You Should Never Eat If You Want to Burn Fat

Here’s a simple list of foods to stay far away from if you want to burn fat. § Ice cream § Fried anything § Doughnuts and pastries § Cakes and pies § Candy, milk chocolates and sweets made with sugar § Sodas made with sugar § Fruit drinks made with sugar § Potato chips § White bread § Cookies § Sausage § Cereals with added sugar § Nearly all fast food § Beer § Mixed alcohol drinks § Honey and corn syrup But you knew that already, right? The single biggest step you can take toward your fat-burning goal is to cut the amount of refined sugar in your diet. It’s added to so many foods and it’s often hidden, so checking your labels is a must. Did you know that a single can of Coca-Cola contains almost 10 teaspoons of sugar? The average American consumes nearly 53 teaspoons of sugar a day. Don’t be one of them. Soft drinks are now the single greatest source of refined sugar in our children’s diets. And one in five of those children are obese. Once you cut back on the refined sugar, your body will adjust to the taste of sugar-free sodas. And some taste much better than others. (I think Diet Mug Root Beer tastes nearly as good as the sugar-laden sodas. Sometimes, I have to check the can to make sure I bought the “diet” and not the regular!)
