Good Foods vs Bad Foods
Nothing grates more on a dietitian’s sense of appropriateness than the labeling of foods as “good” or “bad.” After all, all foods fit into a diet that is dense with nutrients and balanced in calories. Most Americans, however, are out of touch with what foods actually make up that well-balanced diet. And since so few of us are active, there isn’t much room for extra calories if we want to maintain a healthy bodyweight.
Confusion reigns in the diet kingdom. So, for lack of better terminology, the clarity of the words “good” and “bad seems to be accomplishing what more complex labels like “better” or “healthier” never could.
What follows is a description of the latest wave in our understanding of foods and their impact on metabolism. The “good” foods are those that have a positive impact on our hormonal responses to eating, our control of bodyweight and our long-term health. These are the foods you want to eat at least several times each day, every day. The “bad” foods are those that negatively impact our metabolic responses to eating, our ability to control bodyweight and our prospects for long-term health. These are the foods you want to limit in your diet and eat only small portions occasionally, if not eliminate them from your diet altogether.
