Health coach JJ Virgin identifies six foods post-menopausal women should avoid: fruit-on-the-bottom yogurts with hidden sugars, green drinks containing up to 35g sugar per serving, flavored sweeteners with pro-inflammatory oils, rice cakes, sugary granola bars, and muffins that are essentially desserts.
I've got 6 foods to ditch after menopause, and I bet some are hiding in your kitchen. The fruit on the bottom— yogurts might as well have ice cream. And what about the green drinks? They often have more sugar, 35 grams, than a soda. And those flavored sweeteners, quite often they're loaded with sugar and pro-inflammatory oils. And don't tell me you actually like rice cakes. Not only do they taste like cardboard, they're pretty much empty calories and high glycemic. And granola bars, come on, high sugar with gluten, not a whole lot going for them. You know what happens when you take the frosting off a cupcake? You have a muffin. Loads of sugar, not much else. So find out what else you should ditch. All you need to do is comment "ditch list." Plus, I'm going to give you how you can upgrade your choices and improve your health.
