Quick Snacks that Wreck Your Health

www.fittodo.com

I know it's tempting to eat small cakes, slices of rolls, biscuits cookies and stuff like that when you're snacking.  I love soft white bread with thick egg and mayonnaise spread inside. And we think breads, biscuits and pastries are harmless because we see no pork or animal fat in them, especially when we read zero fats in the ingredients.

But watch out for this terms---hydrogenated vegetable fats or oils, transfat and aspertame.

Just because we see the word "vegetable" we think it's healthy. Hydrogenated vegetable fat is really dangerous for the heart. So is soya or canola oil, though they don't have anything to do with animal fats. So if you are fond of eating biscuits to appease hunger and you do this regularly, I hope you don't end up with a heart problem someday.

By the way, almost all biscuits have sugar, even those that don't taste sweet. In fact, almost all food products have refined sugar in them. Anything with refined flour and sugar wrecks your health to the max. And I mean TO THE MAX.

See a review of my e-book, 

How to Lose Weight with GOD's Word

and Medical Science. Click here.

Hydrogenation puts hydrogen atoms in oil, the process reduces the amount of unsaturated fatty acids and increases saturated fatty acids in the oil. When you take in lots of saturated fatty acids, you increase your triglyceride levels which may lead to serious heart problems.

Healthy eating means you lower your saturated fats intake. But you do the opposite when you always eat quick snacks like cup cakes, biscuits and cookies with tansfats or hydrogenated vegetable fats. These fats are also present in most sandwich spreads. So, white bread (again, which is bad for your health) plus sandwich spread with hydrogenated vegetable oils equals serious health problems.

But Here's What's Really Bad

If saturated and unsaturated fats confuse you, just forget about them and focus on only two things--eat very low carbs and quit eating sweets and any foods with sugar. And eat less times a day. If possible, eat just once a day. Experts call it OMAD--one meal a day. Why? Three reasons:

1. It's sugar that causes a lot of deadly diseases like diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, inflammation that leads to autoimmune diseases, cancer and others.
   
   
2. Carbs (carbs from processed foods and grains) worsens what sugar is destroying in your body.
3. Multi-meals a day weakens your immune system, disables your body to detox and wrecks your digestive system which affects your immune system.

Thus, snacking habit punishes your body systems and upsets your body's natural fat burning work. Eating once a day (or what experts call intermittent fasting) will powerfully re-start or reboot your body system and fix your system "glitches." In short, give you new health.

I eat one meal a day although sometimes I feel a bit "snacky." But I snack before 4 pm (well, sometimes 5 or 6 pm if my wife fixes delicious scrambled eggs or other egg specialties---she knows I love eggs). Or if I feel like enjoying my bulletproof coffee in the afternoon (coffee with a lil bit of butter, cream and cacao). But definitely no more eating anything past 6 pm. 

And yup, you heard right. Eating fats is much better than eating bread, biscuits, pasta or rice cakes.

I often snack on boiled eggs. If no eggs available, I eat native "kesong puti" which has nothing but milk fats, a lil bit of vinegar and salt. It costs a bit more but it's safe, natural and keto-friendly.

When I'm out of the house I find so little snack options from grocery stores. So I settle for a banana, water or coffee and Rebisco biscuits (this biscuit has zero sugar and made of wheat flour. It's still flour but at least it's not white flour. Sometimes, you have no choice but to compromise a bit). Sometimes I try to be prepared and bring along my own boiled egg snack 😁.

So just remember two things--no sugar and very low carbs. More infos here below (if you can understand him talk):
