Post 4; What specific foods should you limit or avoid and why?

Along with eating all the right foods throughout the day, make sure to avoid certain foods that would pull you back down to make you unhealthy! With a balanced diet comes discipline! You should try to lower your saturated fat intake because it doesn't do any good for your health, but it increases risk of cardiovascular disease. Avoid the following:
- Soda/Artificially flavored fruit drinks (There are beverages out there much healthier for you, and just as easy to get a hold of.) High in fructose corn syrup, and other unnecessary sugars.
- Animal fats, and oils (olive oil is okay), and Dairy Products such as cheese, butter, etc. These higher your chance in cardiovascular diseases, because they are very high in saturated fat.
- White starches (such as white bread) because they have been died that color by using chemicals, and they are also very high in carbs.
- Chips/Candy (Such as potato chips and chocolate bars.) Contain a lot of bad fats, and sugar, and low in nutrients.
