Weight loss: New evidence shows foods you thought help your diet are making you FAT – Express.co.uk

Weight loss diets usually include lots of plants and lean meat, thought to be healthy.

However, a doctor is claiming that this one type of protein, found in plants, may be stopping your weight loss.

In a book called The Plant Paradox, a heart surgeon has explained why these proteins are so bad.

Known as lectins, they cause inflammation in the body that can cause weight gain. Whats more, it can also increase your chances of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

The author of the book Steven Gundry, M.D. says lectins occur in many types of food, such as non-organic animal products, grains and vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers.

This means that what dieters think is the perfect salad, may well be hiding a host of products that could cause weight gain.

He describes the reaction caused by lectins as creating chemical warfare in our bodies.

The types of vegetables that contain lectins, known as nightshades, have already been banned from a number of celebrity diets.

Famously, Gisele Bndchen and her professional athlete husband Tom Brady have cut nightshades from their meal plans.

So how do you cut out lectins from your diet?

One trick that Dr. Gundry advises is to peel your vegetables - as most lectins are in the skin. It is also good to remove the seeds too, to limit the number of lectins in your meal.

Eating fruit at its very ripest is very important, and swapping brown rice for white rice will help reduce lectins. A weight loss diet plan based on caveman eating is one of the best diets for weight loss according to scientists.

It has a number of advantages, according to nutritionist Cassandra Barns - and one of them is weight loss. A lot of protein is paired only with foods that would have been produced before humans began agriculture.

Cassandra said: The Paleo diet, also known as the hunter-gatherer diet or the caveman diet, turns back the clocks to what our ancestors chowed down on thousands of years ago, such as; lean grass-fed meats, fruit, vegetables and seeds, as opposed to processed foods, sugar, dairy and grains.
