Eliminate These to Lose Weight Fast

The best way to stop temptation is to nip it before it even starts—by removing tempting foods from your refrigerator. You don’t need a constant temptation every time you open the refrigerator door, so why not eliminate it.

Try eliminating the following:


Soft drinks –  soda contains on average about 10 teaspoons of sugar. Imagine adding that much sugar to iced tea! Ancestral humans lived just fine with nothing more than water to drink, and so can we. Supplement with herbal teas. Once you eliminate soda's, after a period of time, when you go to drink one again, even a sip, you be able to taste the chemicals

Diet soda –Before you try to readjust your taste buds to diet soda, it’s best to understand what you’re replacing all that sugar with—aspartame (that’s the little blue package). Aspartame leads the pack in complaints registered with the FDA regarding adverse reactions to a food ingredient and one of its metabolites, methanol, has been shown to further metabolize into formaldehyde and formic acid.

Fruit juice – Fruit juices have little real fruit juice and are loaded with sugar, some of it from the actual fruit content, but some of it added for extra “flavor.” When the craving hits, eat the whole fruit and benefit from the added fiber and reduced sugar content.

Salad dressings – They all pretty much have high in sugar, salt, unhealthy fats, and unpronounceable flavor enhancers. Make your own healthy vinaigrette with one part oil to three parts vinegar. Add herbs and spices and even a little mustard.

Jams, jellies and other sweet condiments – Sweet is the operative word here. All of condiments are high in sugar. Other sweet condiments would include ketchup, barbecue sauce, etc.

6. Mayo and other high-fat condiments – Until you reach your target weight, learn to enjoy the flavor of foods without masking it with mayo and other high-fat condiments. This will save you a lot of fat grams, savings you can apply toward healthier fats.

Cheese “products” – if it isn’t real cheese, toss is m(American, Velveeta, Brie and a whole host of other fake cheeses) If you want to eat cheese, stick to hard, aged cheeses and limit yourself to an ounce or two a day.

Milk, Ice Cream, etc. – As an adult, you don’t need dairy beverages. Try drinking your coffee black until you reach your goal weight. Replace heavy cream sauces with reductions and drizzles. Use an immersion blender to puree ingredients in soups to make them creamy.


Pastries, breads and pasta – All those nutrient-free calories are best saved for foods that feed the body as well as the soul. Eliminate breads, pastries and pasta until your goal weight is reached, even then it should be restricted.

In Summary
Now you should have the sense of a fresh start. Once you approach your optimal weight, you can begin to add some of these items back into your diet in moderation. Until that time, replace, substitute and cultivate new tastes. Embrace the change…
