As a recorded dietitian, I often hear people who have the impression that their metabolism is working against them. And honestly, it could be, especially if certain foods sneak more often in your diet than you think. Metabolism is the engine of your body, transforming foods into energy you need to move, think and prosper. But when it slows down, it can cause frustrating weight, constant fatigue and even slow digestion. Although many people focus on what can stimulate metabolism, it is just as important to know what can sabotage it. Surprisingly, even certain foods that seem healthy can reject things. The good news? Some smart exchanges can put your metabolism back on the right track. You will find below 7 current foods that could slow you down – and what to eat instead.
Highly processed sweet foods
Examples of these are breakfast cereals, granola bars and other foods filled with added sugar. Check the label and see the sugar added by portion and you will realize how much you eat. These sweet foods increase blood sugar. This affects metabolism and generally leads to the feeling of being slow. A long and constant contribution can cause insulin resistance, which makes it more difficult to burn fat effectively, according to research.
Artificial sweeteners
They are a good alternative to sugar only if they are taken at the right amount. These artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and success have an effect on intestinal bacteria, specifically modifying the balance of good and bad. This affects the absorption and metabolism of nutrients, say studies.
Refined carbohydrates
Examples of these are white bread, pasta and pastries. They lack fibers and are quickly converted into sugar in the body, which quickly increases the level of insulin, especially when it is not combined with lean proteins and fiber -rich foods. Generally, they will not directly cause the slowdown in metabolism. This is how they are combined with other foods, as well as their portions of service.
Seed oils
This has been a debate among many, because it is believed that oils like soy, corn and canola are rich in omega-6 fatty acids which can cause inflammation, slowing the metabolism in fact. As a dietitian, I would say that a diet rich in omega-6 and low in omega-3 can affect metabolic disorders, but similar to refined carbohydrates, it depends on the service part and how they are combined with other foods. A diet with adequate omega-3 of fish, flax seeds and nuts can mitigate concerns concerning the excess of omega-6. In addition, when seed oils are taken in limited quantities.
Alcohol
A glass of wine here and there can be good. But then again, excessive alcohol consumption will interfere with fat burning processes. To explain more, the liver will favor the rupture of alcohol on fat burns. This can slow down metabolism and contribute to weight gain, let’s say studies.
Dairy alternatives with additives
Many alternatives without dairy products such as almond and oats milk generally contain added sugars, thicknesses and emulsifiers that can disrupt the health and intestinal metabolism. Always check the labels and always choose it. non -sweet versions.
Fast food fried foods
Finally and above all, these fried foods contain unhealthy fats, refined carbohydrates and additives that slow down metabolism. In addition to contributing to excess calories, fried food promotes insulin resistance and fat storage, let’s say studies.
