so it's time cut out the “white stuff” including:

SUGAR! WHITE POTATOES — with the skins on,


potatoes are a good source of energy,
WHITE FLOUR — think of it as sugar in vitamins and minerals. However, they cause
flour form. Foods with white flour include a blood sugar spike and are only
muffins, cakes, cookies, donuts, pastries, recommended on a maintenance diet, NOT
cereals, pies, chips, white pasta, white if you are trying to lose weight.
breads — pretty much anything
processed.

WHITE RICE — the fibre has been taken


off and all that’s left is littlesugar bombs!
