What Not to Eat

This week I will be saying what things you should stay away from while you're training, practicing, or working out. You should really stay away from foods that are high in sugar, which is hard to nowadays since a ton of foods are made with high fructose corn syrup. So try to look at the labels on some things and just see what the first 5 ingredients are. Also look for things that tend to say natural or whole grain or healthy because most of these follow through and say the truth about their product. You should also stay away from foods that are high in Trans fats. Thing such as ice cream, butter, and red meats. Trans fats are bad, but unsaturated fats are good fats. Things like vegetable oils, nuts, and fish are good sources of healthy fats. Lastly is that there are also good carbs and bad carbs. Good carbs are complex carbohydrates some of those foods include  whole grain products such as, bread, pasta, and brown rice. There are many others, but let's get into bad carbs. These are known as simple carbohydrates. These foods contain sugar not just natural but added sugar, and things made with white flour. The reason why these are bad is because your body doesn't take the time to break these things down. So don't eat much of anything in the picture below because they have trans and saturated fats also are simple carbs and are generally not healthy for you.
