Empty Vs Nutrient-Dense Calories

Many foods that are marketed to Americans do not provide any natural nutritional value. Most of us eat them because they are convenient, we are bored, or they taste good. Clean eating does not support these types of foods and they should be avoided.

The top twelve types of food you should avoid, because they do not offer enough nutritional value or are hard on the digestive system, include:

1. Junk food – candy, chips, pretzels, etc.;
2. Fast food – French fries, hamburgers, etc.;
3. Dry foods – granola, dry cereal, etc.;
4. Processed carbohydrates – rice, bread, pasta, pastries, etc.;
5. Fatty foods – bacon, sausage, cream, butter, etc.;
6. Tough and processed meats – steak, pork chops, hotdogs, ham, etc.;
7. Overly fibrous fruits and vegetables – corn, celery, etc.;
8. Spicy or heavily seasoned foods;
9. Microwave dinners;
10. Highly caffeinated or sweetened beverages – energy drinks, soda, certain fruit juices, etc.;
11. Carbonated beverages;
12. Alcohol.

While this list of omissions to your diet may seem daunting at first, you will soon get used to living without these unhealthy food choices and learn to enjoy the healthy ones. Most likely, you will begin to feel so great that you will not care about the transition at all.
