Drop that spoon!
Everyone deserves
the occasional
indulgence, but
before you dig in
there are a handful
of foods you should
steer clear of to
avoid damaging
effects on your
body, skin, and
waistline. Here,
experts weigh in on
foods to push off
your plate for good.
1. Frosting
That store-
bought frosting from a tub might taste
great on cakes and cookies, but it’s packed
with problems. “It’s one of the only items in
the grocery store that still has trans fats,
which are terrible for your health and
waistline,” says Melina Jampolis, MD,
physician nutrition expert and coauthor of
The Calendar Diet. “Trans fat raises bad
cholesterol, lowers good cholesterol, and
causes inflammation, which can lead to belly
fat and diseases ranging from heart disease
to diabetes.” On top of that, tub frosting is
loaded with sugar, and high-sugar diets
contribute to premature wrinkles. Yikes.
2. Processed Baked Goods
So convenient, so tasty (if we’re being
honest here), but so not worth it. Those pre-
packaged mini muffins, doughnuts, and
dessert cakes will add tons of calories and
loads of unwanted sugar to your diet, plus
they aren’t easy to digest. “These foods are
bad on so many levels, because they are
filled with high sugar content and
preservatives for a longer shelf-life — they
can literally sit there forever,” says Dr.
Tanzi. “Sugar increases inflammation in the
skin, which on top of irritating acne and
rosacea, can make you look puffy and
bloated. Skip the wrapped stuff and grab
fresh fruit for a sweet fix instead.
3. Soda
Dietitians and doctors all agree: Soda should
be nixed from your diet completely. “One can
of soda is like a can of water with 10
packets of sugar in it,” says nutritionist
Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD, CDN, and director
and owner of BTD Nutrition Consultants,
LLC. “The recommended amount of daily
sugar for a woman is about six teaspoons or
24 grams, and soda has way more than that.”
Good old fashion H2O is still your best
option. If you want to jazz it up, add a slice
of fresh fruit for flavor.
4. Sugary Cereal
A bowl of Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, or
Cap’n Crunch might taste like nostalgia, but
it’ll wreak some havoc with its high amount of
inflammation-causing sugar and gluten
content. “For some people with sensitive skin,
gluten can exacerbate breakouts, leading to
increased redness and, yes, more
breakouts,” says Dr. Tanzi. Opt for low-
sugar, gluten-free options like Rice Chex and
Corn Flakes.
5. Stick Margarine
Choose a small amount of regular butter or
soft spread over stick-shaped margarine
when topping foods or baking, says Taub-Dix.
“Margarine is usually loaded with trans fat,”
she says. Don’t forget that stick margarine
is found in plenty of pastries, crackers,
snack foods, and even microwave popcorn, so
limit intake to keep cholesterol levels in
check.
