10 bad foods to avoid in daily life (part-2)

You might be one of the bodybuilders who is training hard but no results are visible or the rate of development is simply low. In this case we might be dealing with a problem that is not given by your bodybuilding routine but your bad eating habits. They can actually keep weight loss unreachable and even building muscles can become very difficult. 

Doughnuts

If there is one food that epitomises the 21st century junk food it's the doughnut. Coated, filled, glazed, sugared, jam crammed or plain old ring they are not great for your body. It's not only the refined flour, refined sugar and then the frying in the refined oil that makes them bad for you. Doughnuts will upset blood-sugar balance, and give a quick high followed by a crash and burn low, then you guessed it, you're hungry again and reaching for another one - that's why they generally come in boxes of 10.
 
Canned soups
Soups don't seem to be one of the bad boys and they probably can sit quite comfortably in the middle of the bad-food scale, but it's their salt-packing stealth that gets them into this list. Soups mainly sport a healthy identity; wholesome, warming and good for you. The reality is many canned varieties are super-high in salt, so if you must have soup, avoid the canned ones or make your own.


Liquid meals
They aren't inherently bad for you, but liquid meals or meal-replacement drinks do keep you from eating proper food. You need to make sure you eat eating whole, natural foods to ensure you gain all your nutrients. Meal replacements maybe good for people who are too ill to eat, but don't let them replace the real foods in your diet.




Potato Chips

Potato chips are high in fat and salt, the perfect combination for putting on weight. They are also empty calories to be avoided. Bodybuilders must keep their body-fat percentage low or their toned muscles won't be visible under the fat. Potato chips and other salty foods also increase your blood pressure.


Fast-Food Burgers

Fast-food meals are quick, cheap and available everywhere. They're also full of calories that can take you an hour to an hour and a half on a treadmill to burn off. Bodybuilders do not have the time or energy to waste burning off the approximately 800 to 1,000 calories in a typical fast-food burger.
 

Good Combinations:
    1) protein and fibrous carbs ( steak and spinach salad)
    2) protein and fats ( Chicken, Fish and Egg )

Bad Combinations:
     1) protein and simple carbs (many weight gain powders
     2) carbs and fats (cheese bread, pizza)
