Just a friendly reminder when shopping, especially for snacks:
This is life-changing! When I stopped focusing on the calories, carbs and fat grams and looked into the ingredients I was eating instead, my body transformed and health completely turned around.
There are plenty of “low carb” and “diet” foods that are loaded with chemicals linked to weight gain, diabetes, and other health issues:
❌POLYSORBATE 80: An emulsifier linked to weight gain, inflammation and digestive problems.
❌ CELLULOSE: This thickener & emulsifier is usually made from wood, because it’s cheap. It may alter gut bacteria, increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic syndrome, significant weight gain, and cancer.
❌ ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS (SUCRALOSE, ASPARTAME): Shown to contribute to weight gain by encouraging sugar cravings. Research finds they stimulate your appetite, increase sugar cravings, and promote fat storage and weight gain.
❌CALCIUM PROPIONATE: This preservative disrupts the metabolism and can promote weight gain. Animal studies show that it also leads to high blood sugar and insulin resistance, which increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.
❌SOYBEAN OIL: Very high in omega-6 fatty acids, which increases the risk of obesity, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.
Seek out nutrition first…and the rest will follow! It’s remarkable what real food can do.
