26 Foods to Avoid if you want to lose belly fat
Some foods are good for you health. Some foods are good for your waistline. The following is a list of foods that are neither.
These foods either contain trans fats, are high in animal saturated fats, are highly processed, are highly refined or are full of sugar.
* Anything that has been deep fired (yes, this includes Mars Bars!)
* Margarine (Can you name the ingredients in maragrine?)
* Non lean cuts of meat (Pork, Porterhouse)
* Lollies (Sugar in different shapes is still sugar)
* Chocolate (Some 70% or higher cocoa is OK)
* Cookies, Cakes and biscuits (Danger. All calories, no fibre, no nutirents)
* Soft Drink and Cordial (Liquid sugar goes straight to the waistline)
* Pies (Fatty pastry with fatty ‘meat’ = Bad News)
* Donuts (You know they’re bad)
* Croissants (Just because they are European doesn’t make them healthy!)
* Alfredo Sauces (Cream, butter and some flavour. Generally added to pasta for a double kick)
* Potato and Corn Chips (Refined, fried with added salt. Not even closed to a healthy choice)
* Hot Dogs (What’s really in a hot dog? Who knows, but it’s not pretty)
* Take Away Burgers (Cheap, fatty and nasty ‘meat’, normally with added cheese and bacon!)
* Pretend Peanut Butter (Anything but the natural type)
* Flavoured Full Fat Milk (Too much sugar, especially when combined with th fat content)
* Processed Lunch Meats (Pretend Ham, chicken, turkey)
* Salami (See hot dog.)
* Sausages (They’re cheap for a reason)
Do what you can to avoid these foods. There are so many great tasting, healthy options out there that don’t really take any more work to make. Over time the less you eat from this list the healthier and leaner you will be.

Definitely worthy for the list. Over processed, too much sugar, almost zero fibre. And that’s the good ones!!

I’m on a modified Atkins right now and most of this list is not allowed! I say modified, bc I wont and cant seem to stomach too much animal fats. So Im still pulling off the chicken skin and eating lean cuts of meats. But I do believe America eats way too much of the refined foods, alot of white sugar, and overprocessed foods. That paired with less activity, is a recipe for a fat person.

Nice site BUT… Porterhouse steaks, pork, hamburgers (grassfed beef in general) and good hot dogs (they are made of beef- buy good ones)and bacon will NOT make you fat. It is the carbs Not the fat that turns into body fat.
Carbs from GRAINS are killers, not the beef. Carbs trigger insulin- too much insulin production turns carbs (not fat or protein) into FAT. Its the body’s way of saving energy in case you stop feeding it. Be smarter than your insulin trigger – lay off the carbs

How depressing…
I eat & enjoy eating every single item you listed.
I couldn’t imagine not having any of those in my diet.
