Red Flag Food includes most items with refined sugar, saturated fat, high salt content and empty carbohydrates. New York’s Weight Loss Coaches at NYC Weightloss Solutions are focused on helping clients learn about healthy eating. NYC Weightloss Solutions guides clients through a change in life style, not fad diets, through a customized diet solution.

Red Flag Foods to Avoid

Most packaged food are high in sodium, additives and preservatives that you don’t need. These foods with chemicals can slow your digestion leading to obesity, diabetes and other health problems.

A partial list of foods to avoid includes:

• Pre-sweetened cereals
• Soft drinks with high fructose corn syrup – or – even artificial sweeteners
• Fried foods high in saturated fats and carbs
• Fatty meats and poultry
• Pies, cakes and cookies
• Several condiments including ketchup
• Creamy sauces
• Ice cream and related deserts
• Canned goods packed with salt

Learning how to read and understand complex food labeling is part of the program at NYC Weightloss Solutions. The Food and Drug Administration requires food labeling showing calorie content in the amount of each serving. But, these mandated labels can be misleading. The terms trans fat and saturated fats can be confusing, along with references to cholesterol and carbohydrates. The labels don’t differentiate between complex carbohydrates and those with no food value.

Learning Food Values

Foods considered Red Flag usually have no vitamins, minerals or other benefits. They fill you up but do nothing to energize your body and give you the nutrition you need.

Useful sugar comes from fruits and vegetables, not pastries. Calcium and lactose, milk sugar, comes from non-sugared dairy products such as plain yogurt. Many vegetables contain calcium as well.

Polyunsaturated oils replace animal fats. These healthy fats come from plants and include olive oil and nut oils. Nuts are high in protein and recommended in place of candy for people who do not have nut allergies.

Thermogenic Diet

Becky Wilborn worked with other dietitians to develop metabolic makeover diet plans that burn fat and help you lose weight fast with healthy eating. These are fat-burning foods that aid the digestion and provide the necessary nutrients your body needs. These foods are processed by the body and used to stimulate your metabolism.

Healthy food is not bland. Thermogenic foods include spices and herbs, beans, whole grain products and high-fiber vegetables. We have many great recipes that provide good nutrition and limit calories. Your favorite spices and herbs add great taste. You can make liberal use of garlic and onions since they stimulate the metabolism.
