Foods that the Chicks avoid!

These are the foods that can take any chick down in their fight for wellness! The main reason is these foods cause inflammation, which can cause many illnesses and health problems.

• All grains - Not just gluten, all grains! This includes, but not limited to, corn (no, corn is not a vegetable and neither is popcorn), wheat, spelt, quinoa, buckwheat, rice (white, wild, and especially brown rice), amaranth, rye, barley, oats (not even whole oats, sorry General Mills).  Check out this link.

• Dairy - Milk does not do a body good! For some people (not those with autoimmune issues) dairy may be okay, but they should choose dairy products that are fermented, full fat (not low fat) and/or raw. Though you may not want to do raw milk, unless you know the cow personally. Check out this link.

• Legumes - All beans! That includes black, pinto, lentils, soy, peas, and garbanzo beans (sorry, no dipping your carrot sticks in hummus, guacamole tastes better anyway!) Oh, ya, and peanuts too! Check out this link.

• Vegetable oils - Such as, soybean, sunflower, safflower, and especially canola. Any oil that is hydrogenated. Check out this link.

•  Sugar - refined or "fake" sugar! For example, the crap in your diet colas, such as sucralose, Nutrasweet, Splenda, and aspartame.  This stuff is scary because of how addictive it can be! Check out this link.
