This week I discuss 4 food items we should avoid when doing intermittent fasting. Avoiding the bad could be more critical than adding the good. When you avoid these items it will make fasting that much easier. 

1. Refined Carbs - Processing foods lowers the nutrient density of it and increases glycemic load and inflammation.

2. Sugar - table sugar is bad and it's added to almost every packaged food imaginable. Even "healthy meal replacements'' or low carb bars have hidden sugars as well.

3. Veggie Oils / Trans Fats - Highly inflammatory and high in Omega 6's! Surprised at how many "healthy" or organic foods are packed with bad oils.

4. Artificial Sweeteners - Despite non-calorie content it still can raise insulin and make you crave more sweetness. Avoid aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, ACE K and sugar alcohols.

Start with this list and you will be surprised how much it cleans up your diet! Enjoy the rest of your week and see you on Friday!
