Which foods are actually the BAD ones?

mwdebz Posts: 3 Joined: 2002/02/08	2002/02/24, 12:20 PM Hi there! I have recently started an exercise programme, and my goal is to, (as so many women other women), lose weight and tone my body!! I know in order to do this, I must control my calory intake and I must stick to the healthier foods, but I'm just not sure which ones are the healthy ones!! One article tells you this is good and then the next tells you that it actually isnt!! Please can you just tell me which foods I should STAY AWAY FROM in order to reach my much desired goal!! I would really appreciate that!! Thanks. From Mwdebz.

Master Food List - You may substitute freely within a category for variety: I. Proteins-Chicken, tuna, fish, turkey breast, lean beef, egg whites, whole eggs, Egg and Whey Protein, desiccated liver tablets, Mass Amino Acid tablets II. Complex (Natural) Carbohydrates-This is a risky area. A complex carbohydrate is one that can be fully utilized by the body to be burned as energy. Some good examples are baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, brown rice, cream of rice, rice cakes, oatmeal, kidney and lima beans, corn, lentils, and peas. III. Fresh Fruits - Apples, apricots, avocados, berries, cantaloupe, cherries, grapefruit, grapes, honeydew melons, nectarines, oranges, papaya, peaches, plums, strawberries. (Unsweetened frozen fruits are acceptable as part of your total fruit intake.) IV. Non - Starchy Vegetables: asparagus, green beans, cabbage (all varieties), carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, kale, lettuce (all varieties), onions, peppers (green, red, jalapeno, etc.), radishes, spinach, string beans, squash (summer varieties only), tomatoes, water chestnuts and zucchini. V. "Healthy" Fats and Oils: Flax seed oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, walnut oil, olive oil, almonds, Brazil nuts, filberts, pecans, pine nuts, walnuts, heavy cream, real butter, and lecithin granules.

Fruits and veggies of course are great. Lean cuts of meat are good, and if you are a big salad eater, you may want to stick to vinegar dressing vice milky dressings.
