RE: Understanding Calories for Weight Loss
What do you think about corn, gluten, dairy, sugar, soy...etc? These foods can be highly addictive and people can have true addictions to certain foods. It’s not as simple as just eat less. So Should we exclude these foods as most people nowadays have some sort of food addiction to something?
Good question @victoriacalloway. It's highly individual. The only reason to completely exclude a certain food group is if the individual has an intolerance to that food. Other than sugar, people can be intolerant to all of the foods you mentioned and many more.
If someone is intolerant, I would advise removing that food. If they are slightly addicted to that food, it depends on the person. Some people can eat a little and not have a problem, every now and then. Some people must avoid completely so as not to trigger their cravings!
Are there foods you personally avoid?
I personally avoid milk because it gives me a bad stomach and I don't eat much gluten though I don't completely avoid it because I don't seem to digest it well!
