This is also known as metabolic dysfunction. The worst foods for the metabolism are often considered healthy, but consuming them could be the reason you’re struggling to lose weight. Fruit juice is often considered a healthy choice, but it’s actually about 55% fructose. Fructose can only be metabolized by the liver, so consuming it in high amounts can lead to liver stress, fatty liver, increased belly fat, and metabolic problems. Seed oils are often labeled as “heart-healthy,” but are highly processed, genetically modified, and typically contain herbicides. Up to 30% of daily calories in the average diet come from seed oils, which can contribute to inflammation and metabolic dysfunction.Other foods like oat milk and agave nectar spike blood sugar and insulin, disrupting metabolic health, preventing weight loss, and slowing your metabolism over time.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:'Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
