5 Foods to Never Eat

When it comes to getting fit and toning up, the right diet means everything.

And if your fitness goals include getting a six pack, your diet is probably the most important factor to the success of your goals.

But there’s a lot of information floating around out there about what to eat and what not to eat. At the end of the day, it can be difficult sorting it all out, even for fitness experts like myself.

The truth is, the lines often get blurred, and a lot of your food choices really do come down to your own personal goals. Amount of protein, calorie restriction, fiber intake, it should all be adjusted according to your own lifestyle and program.

But there are a few foods that everyone living a healthy lifestyle should avoid, no matter the details of your own fitness plan. Let’s look at 5 foods you should never eat!

5 Foods to Never Eat

1. High Fructose Corn Syrup – You’ve probably heard about it, but this item definitely tops the list of foods you should never eat. This is a high-calorie sweetener extracted from corn that essentially kills your dieting and toning efforts. Your body can’t process high fructose corn syrup the same way that it does table sugar, so it’s more likely to be stored as fat deposits and mess up your blood glucose levels. Watch your labels!

2. Potato Chips – Sorry, but this one’s another given on this list. Potato chips (and French fries) are a starchy snack, in addition to being loaded with trans fats as a result of frying. In fact, I would probably suggest avoiding all fried foods if you’re really trying to tone up. Trans fats are the worst for your waist line!
