When not considering weight loss, there are few things that are more refreshing to me than eating fresh piping hot corn on the cob, with plenty of butter and salt. It is such a refreshing and healthy tasting treat. What could be wrong with that you might ask?

Did you know that the average American will get 67% of their calories from three basic foods? Wheat, corn and soy comprise the bulk of most peoples diet, when they should only come in at around 5-10% of your total caloric intake.

Massive health problems associated with diabetes can be traced back to this imbalance. This means the primary enemy to your dieting efforts and weight loss are these three specific food types.

Along with weight loss issues people are also developing allergies and intolerances to two of the culprits, wheat and soy, plus gluten intolerances.

•    Massive amounts of the following food products are hard on your digestive system:
•    High fructose corn syrup.
•    Soy protein

Possibly hundreds more including soy lecithin, wheat or cornstarch, mono or diglycerides and many more.

Foods that contain high levels of high fructose corn syrup include but are not limited to breads, salad dressings, ketchup, sodas, marinades and hundreds of others.

Want to know another little shocking fact? Farmers around the country are feeding beef cattle soy and corn even though they were never designed to survive on it. Modern farmers make money on heavy cattle and they use these substances to increase their weight significantly.

Omega 6 to omega 3 ratios are altered and become unhealthy when farm animals are fed a steady diet of soy and corn. If that were not enough they will also experience a drop in CLA, fats that come naturally to grass fed cattle. This is also a fact for farm-raised fish, salmon and chickens.

When you eat beef, chicken and fish you are still consuming foods that contain negative attributes for your health because of all the corn, soy fat buildup.

If you are truly going to affect weight loss and get a handle on our health, then it all starts with the grocery cart.
If you want to lose weight the formula is simple, purchase healthy foods and leave the processed foods alone. Instead of eating junk food every day add meat from free roaming animals, seeds, nuts, beans, fruits and vetgetables. Save the unhealthy stuff for a cheat day!

•    Dine out once per week and eat junk food on that day. This limits your access to junk and the temptation to eat it.
•    Eat most of your carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables, not grain.
•    When it comes to sauces choose those made with olive oil instead of tomato sauces which are high in soybean oil and HFCS.
•    Canola oils are unhealthy as well.
•    Try veggie stick with guacamole instead of corn chips.
•    Decrease your pasta, bread and cereal consumption, have it on your cheat day.

My point is, you’re not going to always be perfect with your diet, but you have to get the percentages of corn, soy, wheat and their myriad of derivatives back in line with good health standards. Your long term health and weight loss depend on it.
