Processed foods!?

Question

My wife's doctor told her today she needs to reduce her intake of processed foods such as chips and cold cuts for sandwiches, but I'm oblivious to the subject lol. Can somebody list some more processed foods so we can avoid these? Any info helps. Please and thank you

Answer

Foods that come in boxes, bags, cans are 'processed'. They should be as close to nature as possible. Grilled chicken (that you cook) fresh veggies, nuts, fruit, water. Avoid things like salad dressing in the bottle and use olive oil. Look at the label of things... If there are more than five ingredients (or sugar, chemicals, 'natural flavor', etc are on there)- it's processed. Check out the site 100 days of real food... She explains it well.

Answer

I would recommend seeing if your insurance will cover sessions with a nutritionist.  They are experts on the subject and can help find healthy alternatives to her current diet that would be better for baby 😀

Answer

If it's not from the ground, or it comes  in a box... Probably shouldn't have too much of it

Answer

You should avoid processed foods in general, but honestly you're pregnant. Eat what you want in moderation & try to steer clear of foods that have a higher risk of giving you food poisoning or are high in bacteria (uncooked/raw, high in Mercury, etc.).

Answer

In my experience the best way to accomplish that is to eat fresh things (fruit, veggies, salads, etc.) and homecooked meals that you have cooked from scratch. Avoid things like TV dinners, ready-made sauces and dressings, instant foods like ramen noodles, frozen pizza, etc. Basically  you want to try to limit foods that already come pretty much ready to eat in a can, box, bottle, or jar. It doesn't mean that your wife cannot eat them at all. But they typically have lots of sodium and artificial flavors and dyes, so they are not exactly natural and typically don't have the best nutritional value.

Answer

Processed food has no nutritional value just empty calories including high in sodium and preservatives to keep food fresh longer can cause...drastic conscious to anyone person let alone a growing baby

Answer

Prepared foods. You need to make meals from scratch. Bake chicken instead of chicken nuggets. Mash real potatoes instead of baged frizen French fries.

Answer

Basically everything is processed! If you want good stuff like homemade orange juice buy a juicer. Also the 21 day fix from beachbody will help you curb any processed food out of your diet as it follows a whole food approach. Hope this helps!

Answer

if its in the frozen section, its probably processed. besides frozen fruit and veggies. also; chips, candy, soda. I also think some bread might be but im not sure. you could also google it :)

Answer

My doctor said if it has more than three ingredients it is a no. Not including things made from scratch at home. So look on the ingredients list before you buy things. If it has 29 ingredients and all it is, is chips.... Don't eat it.
