One thing the media and influencers love to cover is telling people every single detail
of the food they should eat, and even more so when it comes to the food they should avoid if
they want any chance of losing weight. Well, after sifting through it all,
I compiled a list of FIVE foods you should absolutely avoid according to the
fantastic listicles and content meticulously crafted by the great minds of the internet.
Let’s get started. Number one, nothing
What we know is that the food we eat should provide essential nutrients to our health
and fitness as well as be tolerable enough to eat on a regular basis.
Well that’s where… nothing falls short. Nothing is devoid of important nutrients and,
although taste is a matter of preference, we can all universally agree that nothing
tastes so extraordinarily bad that no one in their right mind would want to eat it.
And before you come at me with that nonsense, even eating nothing in moderation is going to
completely ruin your chances of losing weight. Nothing should be avoided at all cost!
Number two on this list of food you should avoid eating is… nothing.
In the scientific literature, whatever that means, it has been shown, through association,
that the more you believe that food must be needlessly labeled as either good or bad,
the more likely you are to struggle with maintaining your weight loss.
The reason is that these beliefs impose extreme and unsustainable restrictions to your
food options, which can supposedly lead to the opposite behavior known as disinhibited eating,
or eating with little to NO restrictions, due to the stress and frustration that the
initial restraints can cause. But if any of that is true,
then how can researchers explain the existence of NOTHING, which should be
clearly labeled as “bad,” if not “appalling!” Just because everything else might not be
inherently good or bad, and just because having a more flexible mindset allows you to make
healthier food decisions, it does not change the stone-cold fact that NOTHING needs to go.
Number 3 in this list of foods to avoid is kind of similar to number 2 but differs
in some subtle ways, and that is nothing. More and more scientific studies are showing
that virtually all diets, be it low carb, low fat, macros, and everything in between, achieve very
similar weight loss results in the long run. Because of that, researchers suggest that
the diet you choose has very little impact on successful weight loss.
And, what matters instead, are things like maintaining a calorie deficit,
eating in moderation, and probably most importantly, choosing a diet that you can
stick to in the long-term versus short-term diet attempts where you’re trying to get
that “beach body” just in time for your cousin’s costume party next Wednesday.
But you know what the real reason why all these diets worked which
the researchers conveniently failed to mention?
It should be no surprise to ANYONE that not a single subject in these diet studies ate NOTHING.
You know it, I know it, the researchers know it, NOTHING should always be off-limits and
thank goodness it was for these studies ‘cause who knows what could have happened if it wasn’t.
Now the fourth thing you should avoid eating,
and you probably already guessed it, is… kale, for obvious reasons.
And finally, the fifth and last thing you should absolutely
throw into the trash is THINGS OF NAUGHT. Don’t let the fancy name fool you… Shady fitness
companies and influencers have carefully disguised this poisonous concoction by publicly referring to
it with its cunningly friendlier name… NOTHING. Like everything else in this list, eating nothing
is extremely dangerous and the only reason these fitness influencers incessantly beg you to eat
nothing is because nothing is all they offer. So don’t let these people scare you into buying
their useless products by saying their products are the only ones good for you and others are bad,
not only because this dogma is d*****t advice that won’t guarantee weight loss,
but developing this black and white mindset also often associates with developing eating
disorders and a poor relationship with food. So be wary of anyone trying to tell you that
NOTHING is NOT bad for you. Chances are they have some s****y nothing to sell you or have
no idea what they’re talking about. Just to be safe, I want to be clear
that I was being a bit facetious in this video but honestly, there’s way too much
content out there professing that you NEED to arbitrarily avoid certain foods even though the
evidence resoundingly recommends the opposite. Things like moderation, protein, whole foods,
and of course, a calorie deficit, are much more important factors of weight loss.
And yes, meeting these important factors can sometimes mean eating
less of something and more of another. But none of that, barring any allergies
you might have, requires completely avoiding anything, except nothing, and kale of course.
I wanna give a shoutout to Ben Carpenter for giving me the idea for this video in the first
place after I watched a similar video of his covering this topic. The man makes awesome
content and is absolutely hilarious, I highly recommend checking his work out.
