When people go on a diet, one of the first items to go is typically bread.

But carbs shouldn’t always be the first thing you cut.

Eliminating carbohydrates all together could actually keep you from achieving healthy, lasting weight loss.

Moderation is one key. A slice or two per day of the bread types listed below could fit into an overall healthy diet. Four or five or six or more slices per day, not so much.

Another is looking at the ingredients. If you are going to include breads in your diet, stay away from breads that are high in fillers, additives, and sugar.

Here are five breads I found that, in moderation, can actually be good for you, and that you can probably find at your local store:

1 – Eureka! Seeds The Day, Organic

2 – Ezekiel 4:9 Low Sodium Sprouted Whole Grain Bread

3 – Arnold Whole Grains 100% Whole Wheat Bread

4 – Ezekiel 4:9 Sesame Sprouted Whole Grain Bread

5 – Nature’s Harvest Stone Ground 100% Whole Wheat Bread

Since we will be focusing on diet and meal planning as a big part of the program, I wanted to share a quick list of healthy foods you should AVOID.

Now I know this sounds counter-intuitive…

…but knowing what foods NOT to eat (I’m going to share a list of just 3 of them today, but there are many more!) is a huge part of reaching your goals.

Here are hat could actually be doing a lot more harm than good:

3 “Healthy” Foods You Shouldn’t Eat

1 – Sports drinks

These do have a place. If you are doing long (as in, over an hour) endurance-type workouts, they can be good to keep you fueled…

But for most people, doing shorter, higher-intensity-type workouts, they aren’t needed…

And typically, they are just made up of sugars, chemicals, and salt.

2 – Reduced fat peanut butter

Here’s another one a lot of people think is healthy.

But in reality, skimming on the fat will get you things like partially hydrogenated oils, added sugars, carbohydrates, and sodium. And real healthy fats are actually good for the body.

3 – Granola

Another one that seems like a “healthy snack”.

Not so true.

Many granolas contain way too much sugar and oils, and a TON of calories.
