Ever wonder what the top nutritionists and dietitians eat?
I bet you do!
You probably think they eat nothing but plain chicken and broccoli at almost every meal.
But you would be WRONG!
Most dietitians and nutritionists eat common foods that you enjoy as well! However, it’s the foods that they AVOID that keep them healthy and fit all 12 months of the year.
Nutritionists mainly eat lean proteins, plenty of starchy carbs, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. They also tend to eat healthy fats (like Krill Oil, olive oil, coconut oil, etc.) in order to maintain health and boost satiety after a meal.
BUT:
These are foods that personal trainers, nutritionists, and dietitians AVOID that allows them to stay sleek and fit all year long.
Let’s take a closer look…
1. Flavored Yogurts
Yogurt is a very nutritious food—as long as it’s of the plain variety!
The fruit-on-the-bottom yogurts or the flavored varieties contain too many added sugars or sweeteners, which may detract from the health benefits of the yogurt.
Plus, all that added sugar (and calories) adds up on the scale, causing you to gain weight if you’re not careful.
Typically, a fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt contain upwards of 22 grams of sugar–which could put a serious dent in your weight loss efforts!
Also, the sugar in the yogurt may also counteract the wonderful probiotic benefit contained the yogurt.
Eating too much sugar could lead to uncontrolled weight gain, bloating, food cravings, skin issues, and could lead to increased blood lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides).
Safe Bet: Buy plain Greek yogurt and add berries and fruit to add natural sugar and sweetness.
2. Whole Wheat Bread
In order to prevent heart disease or a heart attack, it is often recommended you consume more fiber from whole grain products.
And one of the heaviest marketed product happens to be whole wheat bread.
Even though it contains heart-healthy fiber, it also contains a lot of sugar in the form of HFCS or corn syrup.
This raises the glycemic index of the bread, which means there could be high spikes in blood sugar and insulin.
This could lead to a crash later and cause awful sugary food cravings. And, since the gluten molecules may be different from what your grandparents grew up on, you may suffer from constipation, diarrhea, headaches, abdominal pain, bloating, excessive weight gain, depression, and skin problems.
3. Powdered Peanut Butter
Powdered peanut butter has become a national trend. So much so you can find many different varieties in your local grocery store.
This product is marketed to those looking to minimize calories AND the fat content.
However, this detracts from the wonderful health benefits of creamy peanut butter! Peanut butter contains healthy fats that your body needs in order to maintain the thousands of reactions that occur on an everyday basis.
Shockingly, powdered peanut butter removes the healthy fats, which could help satisfy your appetite and repair damaged cells.
If you have the option between powdered and real peanut butter, go with the real stuff! Not only will your body will thank you for itm you could be less hungry by using the real stuff!
4. Commercial Salad Dressings
Salad dressings, in general, are fat traps in disguise.
Most contain added sugar, additives, artificial sweeteners, and fillers that add way too many calories to your salad.
Plus, even if it says “made with olive oil,” chances are pretty slim the entire bottle is made from that oil.
Why?
Olive oil is expensive to use, so they tend to fill their products with cheaper oils. And these oils may be detrimental to your overall health.
Most commercial salad dressings are sparse on omega-3 fatty acids (the good stuff) and chock full of omega-6 fatty acids (causes inflammation).
But there is good news for salad dressing users: There are many different yogurt-based and oil and vinegar dressing on the market that may boost your health–in ways that other commercial salad dressings can’t do.
Take Home Message

However, these FOUR foods are not on that list!

That’s why it’s highly recommended that you AVOID these FOUR foods starting right now.
If you do, you may find an accelerated metabolism, easier fat loss, better health, and the body of your dreams.
