Been busy with the Fitness Gourmet Website..... sorry for the lack of updates!
To make up, I will be diligently posting a blog every night. For the next 5 days, I will be unveiling the top 5 sinful food and suggesting healthy alternatives to it. I hope it is interesting and informative for you to follow the blog!
1. Bacon, Deli Meats and Processed Meat
Let's talk numbers...
The average sausage contains 10grams of fats and a slice of bologna has 7 grams of fats, which is the same amount as hot dog. Research shows a diet high in animal fats is linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Most processed meats contain a chemical soup of nitrates, nitrites, sugar, sodium and preservatives. Many of these are implicated as culprits in disease, particularly cancer.
Alternatives:
There are no real recommended alternatives, even though there are soy-made bacon bits, I personally will not recommend. It is important to eat wholefood and going for thinly sliced oven-baked chicken breast is a way better option. IF... you are someone that cannot live without bacon, processed meats and deli meats, do go for the low sodium version or choose a healthier meat - Turkey Breast and don't forget to go for the oven-baked ones
