AVOID - too much SUGAR, FAT or SALT and other stuff you do not need
1) FRUIT JUICES Even with "no added sugar" they don't contain the FIBRE in the whole fruit which optimises digestion. Don't drink orange juice because you're thirsty - drink water. THEN eat an orange. YKIMS!
2) SAUSAGES & BACON a BAD choice for breakfast - loads of fat plus cooking oil that is BAD for you
3) PACKAGED CEREALS ... have loads of ingredients you DO NOT NEED and which cumulatively are BAD for you - stick to pre-soaked steel-cut oats with no added sugar
4) WHITE BREAD
  • FAR inferior to rye and brown bread - JUST AVOID IT
  • white bread with JAM or MARMELADE for breakfast is especially BAD (could provoke sugar spike)
5) MARGARINE contains saturated and/or trans fat - BUTTER IS MORE HEALTHY
6) TINNED FOOD

In general this is not as healthy as fresh food, but if you must eat from a tin then WASH THE CONTENTS BEFORE EATING. A tin may have added ingredients and preservatives which are basically unhealthy.

The METAL may also contaminate the contents of a tin. This is ESPECIALLY the case for tomato puree, which is ALWAYS BETTER bought in a glass jar.
7) TRANS and
SATURATED FATS

TRANS FATS are especially BADISSIMO:

  • Trans fat, or trans-fatty acids (TFA), are unsaturated fatty acids that come from either industrial or natural sources.
  • More than 278 000 deaths each year globally can be attributed to intake of industrially produced trans fat.
  • Trans fat clogs arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and deaths.
  • Industrially-produced trans fat can be found in margarine, vegetable shortening, Vanaspati ghee, fried foods, and baked goods such as crackers, biscuits and pies. Baked and fried street and restaurant foods often contain industrially produced trans fat. Trans fat can also be found naturally in meat and dairy foods from ruminant animals (e.g. cows, sheep, goats). Both industrially produced and naturally occurring trans fat are equally harmful.
  • Industrially produced trans fat can be eliminated and replaced with healthier fats or oils without changing cost, taste or availability of food.
  • WHO’s recommendation for adults is to limit consumption of trans fat to less than 1% of total energy intake, which is less than 2.2 g per day for a 2000-calorie diet.



P.S. MOST PIZZAS ARE NOT GOOD FOR YOU! SORRY!

Pizza can be nutritionally decent or a diet disaster, depending on the type of crust, the amount of cheese, and the toppings used. Even healthy pizzas deliver a good amount of sodium from tomato sauce and cheese, so you should eat cautiously if you are watching your salt intake.
