THIS cooking method adds HUNDREDS of calories in the form of HIDDEN ingredients
By Kevin DiDonato MS, CES
In order to lose weight and improve your health, you need to EAT the right foods.
We are all in agreement with that, right?
Well, as it turns out, the WAY you cook may be just as important as what you eat when it comes to losing weight…improving health…or getting lean and toned.
Why can the way you cook impact your health?
Give me a moment to explain…
The Top 3 Dangerous Ways to Cook
As you know, eating the right foods may help you reach almost all the goals you may have for your health.
The right foods provide the protein you need to build muscle and satisfy your appetite...the antioxidants you need to reduce inflammation...and the right nutrients you need to torch unwanted body fat.
But:
The way you cook your food is just as important as what food you eat.
Why?
For starters, certain ways you cook could destroy the helpful proteins you need, cause dangerous toxins to enter in your meat and oxidize fats, making them dangerous for your overall health.
Of course, some ways are better, but these THREE ways rank close to the top of the WORST ways to cook your food:
1. Barbeque
As tasty as barbequed meat tastes, it could be one of the WORST ways to cook your meat.
Why?
Well, studies show that when the fat dripping off the meat hits the hot coals, it creates two potential cancer-causing chemicals—HCA and PAH.
The release of these chemicals may lead to cancer or other adverse health conditions.
The second thing to worry about is the HIDDEN sugar and other additives that may be hiding in your toppings or sauces.
The hidden sugar itself may be enough to spike your weight gain, leading to some unwanted summer weight gain.
2. Microwaved
When the microwave came out, there was plenty to celebrate.
No more long waits to eat something tasty. Now you can just pop it in the microwave and in a couple minutes have a tasty meal.
But here’s the thing: Most of the food you heat up in the microwave may already be denatured, which means you may not get any health benefits from it.
Plus, some studies show that microwaveable meals could alter your cholesterol levels—and not for the better!
3. Deep Fried
As you know, deep frying foods may be the WORST way to cook your foods.
It raises your intake of trans-fats, which has been linked to heart disease and cancer.
Plus, your food is literally bathed and cooked in oxidized fats, which could significantly raise your heart disease risk and inflammation levels.
Studies have also shown that deep frying food increases the production of nasty chemicals that may be linked to cancer.
Take Home Message
Losing weight and improving your health is not just about the type of foods that you eat.
It’s also about how you cook your foods. The simple fact is: If you cook your foods, using any one of the three techniques above, you may be putting your health and fat loss in serious jeopardy.
But:
If you avoid the three cooking ways from above, you may improve your health, lower your inflammation, and boost your metabolism and fat loss.
