6 Worst Foods to Avoid for Men

  • Beer:  In general, a beer belly is associated with a stomach that protrudes out and over your pants. Beer is a potent fat accumulating drink. It’s high in sugar and calories that cause fat. Instead of a beer, opt for a non-carbonated drink such as Ice Tea. Or just drink water.
  • Donuts/Pastries:  These treats or desserts are high in sugar and calories. Plus they have no nutritional value. Opt for fresh fruit with protein such as 100 calorie pack almonds or boiled eggs.
  • Soda:  This is another drink high in sugar that causes belly fat. Opt for a low carbonated drink like Unsweetened Ice Tea.
  • Processed Meat:  Processed meats such as sausage, ham, hot dogs and bacon increases your risk of dying young. Processed meat has been linked to cardiovascular disease and cancer. These meats are also very high in fat which causes obesity. Opt for meats such as turkey bacon, turkey sausage, egg whites, and grilled chicken.
  • Whole Milk:  Whole milk is high in fat and calories. Just like soda and alcohol, it will cause stomach fat. Try skim or 1% milk.
  • Fast Food:  Whoppers, Big Macs, Pizza, Cheese steak subs are very fattening, and will sabotage your efforts to lose your gut. If you are at a fast food restaurant, try a healthier alternative on the menu such as a grilled chicken sandwich on whole wheat bun and house salad (use clear dressing such as balsamic vinaigrette).
