"These foods include breads, potatoes, pastas, pastries, rice, and anything with high concentrations of sugar. We also use the term refined carbohydrates, meaning highly processed foods loaded with sugar. They give you that temporary sugar high, a spike in blood sugar, often followed by an energy crash when insulin rushes in to normalize the level. Candies, pies, pastries, and alcohol are particularly quick to enter into the system bulging with cargoes of sugar. The rise in insulin triggers carbohydrate cravings." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"The worst foods are those that contain both yeast and sugar, such as cake, cookies, pastries, and pancakes. Other extremely harmful foods are those with exceptionally high amounts of yeast in them, such as high-rising breads, or beer (among adults). Foods to Avoid (1) Foods that contain yeast: Breads. • Bagels. • pastries. • Pretzels. Crackers. Pizza dough. • Cake. • Rolls. Alcohol, especially beer (among adults). Cereal. (2) Foods that stimulate the growth of yeast, or contain other forms of mold or fungus: • Sugar and other sweets, including honey, syrup, or corn syrup. • Raisins." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"However, refined carbohydrates, such as pasta, white bread, pastries, and cakes are quickly broken down into glucose and act just as refined sugar does. (Note: complex carbohydrates as found in whole grains and washed white Basmati rice are fine, but avoid most other types of polished white rice due their depleted nutritional value.) Obviously, sugar-rich foods and beverages, such as chocolate, ice cream, and soda should be avoided." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Candies, pies, pastries, and alcohol are particularly quick to enter into the system bulging with cargoes of sugar. The rise in insulin triggers carbohydrate cravings. And when more carbs and sweets are eaten, this vicious cycle starts all over again. The food-addicted individual develops a need for continual quick fixes. The consequence is excessively high blood sugar and insulin production and an energy roller-coaster. If this high tide of insulin becomes the digestive norm in your system, the insulin receptor sites on the membranes of cells, through which glucose passes, become damaged." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Bagels. • pastries. • Pretzels. Crackers. Pizza dough. • Cake. • Rolls. Alcohol, especially beer (among adults). Cereal. (2) Foods that stimulate the growth of yeast, or contain other forms of mold or fungus: • Sugar and other sweets, including honey, syrup, or corn syrup. • Raisins. • Fruit juices (except those highly diluted by water). • Cheese. • Vinegar. • Ketchup. Sauerkraut. • Vinegar-based salad dressing. • Some barbecue sauces. Sour cream. • Olives. Mustard. • Capers. • Tempeh. • Cider. • Tea (which is made from fermented leaves). Mushrooms. • Pickles." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"This condition is frequently exacerbated by eating late at night, especially foods with a high glucose level, such as pastries, candy, or even fruit juice. Such foods cause your blood sugar level to go up and then plummet, a fluctuation that can contribute to insomnia. Also, overindulging late at night in highly fatty foods can cause sleeplessness. That's because foods with a lot of fat take four to five times longer to empty from the stomach and be digested than simple or complex carbohydrates do. The late Dr. Robert Atkins pointed out the efficacy of tryptophan in the treatment of insomnia." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"They took breaks for pastries, yogurt, and soft drinks in a large hall, half the size of a football field, which was filled with sales booths erected by pharmaceutical companies. To pay for the event, the academy had charged the drug companies a thousand dollars for each eight-by-ten-foot booth. Tables in the booths were piled high with gifts for any physician wandering by. There were Zoloft wall clocks, bottles of Paxil hand cream, and enough pens, staplers, notepads, clipboards—all emblazoned with pharmaceutical brand names—to supply a nearby office building." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Many newly diagnosed individuals are not aware that "gluten-free" does not mean just eliminating bread and pastries from the diet, because gluten (especially wheat) can be identified on food labels and in restaurants by many other names. For example, triticale (a combination of wheat and rye), kamut, and spelt are all forms of wheat and are considered toxic [80]. Other forms of wheat, such as bulgur, couscous, einkorn, farina, and semolina (durum), are also not permitted on the gluten-free diet." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Sweet pastries, frozen ices, and other treats are usually served at other times with black coffee. As a result, a population that enjoys the Mediterranean diet, which is low in saturated fats and rich in both omega-3 fats and a wealth of phytonutrients, has a markedly lower incidence of many forms of cancer and heart disease. THE STUDIES THAT PUT THE MEDITERRANEAN ON THE DIETARY MAP Decades after Dr." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "Because cheese is a source of saturated fat, try to pair it with lower-fat and higher-fiber foods such as pears, pasta, whole grains, beans, and even vegetables instead of butter, high-fat crackers or pastries, or high-fat meats like salami or sausage. Fat-free cheese may not please. I've personally never met a fat-free cheese I liked, so if you are looking to find one, proceed with caution. It just isn't going to melt like real cheese or taste like real cheese. The brands I've tried are more on the order of, well, plastic." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"The main offenders are: Protein, especially animal þShellfish Caffeine Dairy products, especially pasteurized, processed Nicotine Sugar and artificial sweeteners Carbonated beverages, soft drinks Table salt Margarine, commercial cooking oils Processed flour products, pasta, pastries Grains ? Alcohol The normal waste products of cellular metabolism are acidic. The body has to neutralize the acids because a healthy blood pH must be maintained at all costs. It does this with alkaline minerals." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Most processed foods contain them, including breads, crisps, chips, doughnuts, crackers, biscuits, pastries, almost all baked goods, cake and frosting mixes, baking mixes, frozen dinners, sauces, frozen vegetables, and breakfast cereals. In other words, nearly all foods that are shelved, processed, refined, preserved, and not fresh can contain trans fats. They inhibit the cell's ability to use oxygen, which is required to burn foodstuffs to carbon dioxide and water. Of course, cells that are inhibited in completing their metabolic processes are likely to become cancerous." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Rolls. pastries, crackers, biscuits, cookies, cakes, pies, pancakes, waffles, pizza. Potato and corn chips, pretzels, fried snacks, and doughnuts. Fats from animal sources: None, except unsalted butter. All foods fried in fats. Lard, shortenings. All fat meats. Butter: Salted butters, stale, rancid. Any that has been stored unfrozen for months. Oils: All oils that have not been cold-pressed or that have been extracted with chemical processes. Commercial mayonnaise and salad dressings. Stale, rancid oils. All margarines and hydrogenated oils. Nuts: Roasted and salted, stale." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"And remember: you should beware of the "o fat per serving" products such as salad dressing, butter substitutes, mayonnaise, and pastries. They may contain less than 0.5 grams per serving, but that little bit is enough to ensure that you will continue to crave fat. It also may increase your fat intake to more than 20 percent of the calories you consume, adding pounds of artery-clogging fat to your diet each year. 2. You are invited out to eat at someone's home. If the person inviting you is a close friend, this shouldn't be a problem." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Although refined white flour is normally used in bread, cakes, biscuits, pastries and so on, if these foods are a must for you then bake them with wholemeal flour. Common salt (sodium chloride) attracts and retains fluid in the body. Excessive salt intake can also make you feel tired. Reduce the salt in your diet by putting garlic salt or vegetable salt on the table. Experiment with the many tasty salt alternatives now available or use a combination of spices and various herbs to add zest to your cooking." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Candy, cookies, cereals, pastries,pies, etc., including honey, maple syrup, or molasses ?* Flour products, all types of flour • ?Bagels, breads, rolls, wraps, pastas, etc. ??Liquid sugar • ?Processed fruit juices, which are often loaded with sugars.Try juicing your own carrots, celery, and beets instead, or other fruit and vegetable combinations Sodas or any type of canned or bottled drinks with any type of sugar or sweetener ??" - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"These "no fat" products may contain less fat overall than their higher octane counterparts, but hidden in "no fat" salad dressings, cheeses, breakfast pastries, and spreads is the same old dairy, animal, and oil fat, and it will destroy your health. Be on the lookout for phrases like "contains negligible amounts of fat." Scrutinize lists of ingredients for any mention of oil, of monoglycerides and diglycerides, of hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils or glycerin. Remember, a pig with lipstick and earrings is still a pig." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"The prudent woman would decrease all sources of refined sugar in the diet by avoiding candies, pastries, and desserts; she would also avoid sweetened cereals, white breads, or any food containing refined carbohydrates. Decreasing the total carbohydrate intake in favor of increased protein may be advisable as well. A recent study of women found that weight loss of as little as 5 percent with a plan that included decreased carbohydrates and increased exercise lead to a decrease in the ability of LDL cholesterol to cause atherosclerosis." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Offices now typically have well-stocked kitchens, and it is apparently considered gauche at a business meeting or conference if a spread of bagels, muffins, pastries, and soft drinks is not provided at frequent intervals." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Try to start eliminating them from your diet on the Prep & Practice Week: White bread (any bread other than whole grain) Cookies Cakes & pastries Doughnuts Candy ¦ Ice cream Soft drinks Salty snacks like pretzels, chips, popcorn White rice All fried foods All fast foods Step 5: Hydrate! Did you know that increasing the amount of water you drink can be one of the easiest ways to help lose weight? Beginning immediately you're going to reform your fluid intake.

Remember the SuperFoods Glow we talked about in the Introduction?" - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "This includes soft drinks, candy, cookies, pies, fruit drinks, ice cream, pastries, and sweet baked goods like cinnamon rolls. You'll also find HFCS in places where you might not expect them like condiments, frozen desserts, peanut butters, salad dressings, and even ketchup. A friend recently asked me about a recipe she followed for a simple pasta sauce that called for a can of diced tomatoes. When she tasted the sauce she was puzzled by its sweetness. I suggested she check the label on the can of diced tomatoes." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "You'll find these in many commercially prepared foods such as chips, crackers, cakes, doughnuts, pastries, peanut butter, frozen meals, and margarines and shortenings. You'll also find trans fats in cake, pancake, biscuit and muffin mixes, as well as dips, toppings, nondairy coffee creamers, gravy mixes, and even salad dressings. Trans fats are a health disaster: They boost bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol, encourage inflammation and thus increase your risk of heart disease and stroke." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "We're eating less of the kind our bodies need—whole grains—and too much of the kinds that are making us fat—refined grains in the form of bread, cookies, cakes, pastries, and such. According to the USDA's 1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals only 7 percent of Americans were then reaching the federal recommendations of three or more servings of whole grains daily. And the average daily consumption was just a single serving of whole grains. This minimal intake of whole grains takes a toll on our health and also on our ability to lose weight." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"The diet we have recommended therefore excludes the consumption of high-fat meats such as pork sausage, spare ribs, bologna, liverwurst, pork, bacon, ham, frankfurters, and bratwurst, as well as commercial salad dressings, french fries, potato chips, butter, margarine, lard, the shortening in most cookies and pastries, and cream. Simple carbohydrates. Excessive consumption of refined foods (i.e., the white group) such as sugar, white flour, and white rice has been found to raise blood sugar levels and stimulate insulin release, which then negatively impacts hormone balance." - C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.)

"Soft White—Soft, very low-protein wheat used for pie crusts and pastries. • Wheat berries should be kept in an airtight container in a dark, cool, dry place. • Flour, bulgur, bran, and germ should be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent them from becoming rancid. PREPARATION AND SERVING SUGGESTIONS: • Rinse wheat berries well under cold water before using. • Choose whole wheat products when available, such as whole wheat bread, pasta, or crackers. • Use sprouted wheat berries in vegetable salads." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"The leading source is pastries and breads. Virtually all processed breads and pastries are made with N-6 oils. Most fast foods, especially French fries, are soaked in N-6 fats. Our children are being stuffed with these harmful, aggression-and suicide-inducing fats every day of their lives, almost from birth. School lunch programs are filled to the brim with these oils. At the same time, our youth are being denied N-3 oils that reduce aggression, violence, and suicide." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Their main food sources are acid-producing foods, especially meats and dairy, acid beverages, sugar in all its forms, plus foods that convert into sugars, for example, potatoes, rice, pasta, and pastries. (See appendices 1 to 4 for a more complete listing.) If we keep our digestive tracts clean and our acid-alkaline ratios balanced, cellular oxygen levels will remain high and microform bacteria will not be able to change into their composting varieties. Up to this point, we have considered most of the main elements that can work against our bodies." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"And she loved sugar and refined pastries and carbs. While I see children all across the spectrum of mood and behavior problems, hers were particularly extreme. So 1 began my medical detective work. She had no digestive complaints, but I have learned that even if a child or adult doesn't complain about their gut, mischief can still be brewing. The bacteria and yeast literally ferment the sugary, starchy foods in the diet, producing "auto-intoxication" with alcohol—a by-product of this process." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Usually the foods include chips, breads, pastries, sugar or chocolate. If depression is longstanding, carbohydrate cravings are a sign of decreased serotonin levels. Serotonin is believed to be instrumental in the regulation of mood such as anger, anxiety, depression and sleep. Many people leam to eat carbohydrates in order to control mood, sleep and pain. However, the byproduct of such eating is weight gain and further cravings. These types tend to get obese during times of stress. People who suffer with Seasonal Affective Disorder may also crave carbohydrates to naturally increase serotonin." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)
