Worst: Refined Grains
Refined grains have been stripped of nutrient-rich bran and germ.
Worst: Processed Meats
Most contain nitrates and are very high in saturated fat
Worst: Red Meats
Though red meat can be healthy in moderation, the correlation between red meat consumption and weight gain in the Harvard study was undeniable. If you choose to indulge, avoid fatty cuts, such as T-bone, New York strip, and rib-eye steaks.
Worst: Soda
You may be surprised to learn that in addition to waist-widening sugar and calories, soda contains flame retardants and may fatten up organs
Worst: Potatoes
Potatoes are often fried or covered with butter, sour cream, or sugary ketchup
Worst: French Fries
Potatoes aren’t great for you to begin with; adding salt and deep-frying them strips them of any value they may have had. A typical medium-size portion at a fast-food restaurant contains 410 calories and 18 grams of fat.
