What are You Waiting FOUR?! NewMeMD 's Top 4 Foods to Avoid

The long-awaited season of wearing shorts, tank tops and swimsuits has arrived (hooray!), which means we can wear open-toed shoes or shirts without sleeves to maximize that sun-kissed glow we get from enjoying the outdoors.

Exposing more of our body parts during the warm weather months, however, can bring along fears of whether we're even svelte enough to sport our favorite summer attire...

We at NewMeMD have a simple solution to lay those dreadful feelings to rest... with our new list of the top 4 foods we recommend you remove from your diet (and your vocabulary if possible).

By cutting out these few products from your current eating regimen you will not only increase your chances of staying fit, you'll also be well on your way to looking and feeling fab in that new outfit!

1. Coleslaw. Yes it's a summertime grill-out favorite and sure, it does contain cabbage and carrots...but that's not all. Coleslaw is also chock-full of fatty mayonnaise! If you absolutely can’t live without having a side o' slaw at your upcoming picnic, try making it yourself using a plain, fat-free yogurt in place of the mayo.

        

    2. Tomato sauce. Talk about gettin' sauced! Pre-made tomato sauces are often loaded with refined sugars. Many people have NO idea about the surprising sugar content in what seems like "just a marinara sauce," but this famous pasta dressing can promote weight gain and could eventually increase your risk of developing diabetes. Skip the sugary sauces and opt for a homemade concoction using fresh tomatoes, basil & your favorite spices as a much more healthful (and tastier) alternative.

      

    3. Multigrain products. These are NOT a breadwinner! Many of us unfortunately mistake multigrain breads, pastas and cereals for healthful mealtime options... and that's because the laws regarding ingredient descriptions on our food labels in the U.S. allow manufacturers to deceivingly list their products as “multigrain”  even if their main components are refined (aka processed) grains. Refined grains lack significant nutritional value and are strongly associated with inflammation in the body as well as weight gain. So don't go there. We suggest moving away from this misleading multigrain mentality by consuming more protein and fresh veggies instead.

     

4. Foods with artificial sweeteners. Even though artificial sweeteners have ZERO calories many of them (such as aspartame) can actually impair your body’s ability to know whether your stomach is truly full. This can dangerously trigger overeating or make it difficult for you to resist much stronger cravings...This, in the end, is what results in weight gain! So ditch the diet sodas and sugar-free beverages. You can always replace them with your favorite fruit-infused water. Your H2O can also be delish with fresh mint leaves or cool slices of cucumber! 

So there you have it. Less than a handful of foods we recommend you GIVE UP in order to TRIM DOWN successfully.
