There are two food additives that are most commonly consumed by
people attempting weight loss. These additives are Aspartame and MSG and
although used in so called diet foods, the negative effects on your
body may counteract weight loss success.
Dangers of Aspartame
Many people on diets mistakenly consume foods labeled as "diet" foods. One extremely popular food fitting this category is diet drinks. Most of us have seen people consume way too much food at meals and follow up with a "diet" cola or other drink. The fact is that almost all sweet diet foods contain aspartame which is a man made chemical sweetener. It is sold under many other names. The one we know best is NutraSweet.
This chemical is known to cause dizziness, hallucinations, nervous system problems and cancer. Although you may enjoy weight loss, the side effects associated with aspartame are more dangerous than the excess weight you carry. There are better alternatives available that provide weight loss without the dangerous consequences of prolonged use.
Stevia as a Substitute for Sugar
Stevia is a plant native to Paraguay and derived from a plant similar to sunflower. This natural sweetener is said to be thirty times sweeter than sugar. In the US it is marketed as a dietary supplement but is widely used in other countries throughout the world as a natural substitute for processed sugar.
Dangers of MSG
Other popular foods often consumed by people on diets are soups and salads. Although homemade soup is great for dieters, the majority of canned soups contain MSG. Likewise, salads are good for diet but the average person adds salad dressing. Like canned soup, most salad dressing contains MSG.
Extended consumption of MSG can cause Type II diabetes, rashes, and weight gain. One of the most prevalent effects of MSG on your diet is that it triggers food cravings. This is why we crave potato chips or other foods that contain monosodium, even when we are full. While you are trying to lose weight by reducing calories, you are actually causing many other serious health problems.
Alternatives To MSG for Flavor Enhancement
Homemade soups or salads are good healthy choices for anyone trying to lose weight. Some good flavor enhancers for these dishes include natural herbs such as dill, bell peppers, onion, cumin, ginger, and many more. For salads, use different varieties of cheese such as cheddar, parmesan, and feta are so rich that they replace the need for salad dressing.
As you can see, there are alternatives to consuming foods that are full of additives that cause toxins to accumulate in our bodies. You can effectively lose weight while enjoying food and maintaining good health.
