How to avoid all these weight gain factors
As mentioned earlier, one of the main ways to avoid weight gain is to look at the quality of the food you eat, rather than the amount (calories).
Organic foods contain no (or very few) harmful chemical preservatives, hormones, or pesticides that cause weight gain.
Do not approach excessively processed foods because you would be frustrated to discover that what you eat is full of the weight gain factors set out above.
If food is shown in pubs, it is almost inevitable that they are bad for you. When was the last time you saw an ad for apples or kale cauliflowers?
Buy whole, organic food and cook them yourself. This will automatically reduce your sugar intake, which is the root cause of insulin resistance and weight gain. If you buy organic products, you will also reduce your exposure to pesticides and genetically modified ingredients, and by discarding processed foods, you will automatically avoid artificial sweeteners and harmful trans fats.
Healthy fats are essential, so make sure you don’t eat bad fats. Sources of healthy fats to add to your diet include avocados, coconuts and coconut oil, cold-extracted organic walnut oils and raw nuts and seeds.
Opt for glass food containers to avoid endocrine disruptors.
Make this process a learning path, set changes at your own pace, and have fun. Eating healthily should not be a struggle.
