The first answer is sugar. You say "duh!" but most people don't realize why. In simple terms sugar is a processed food which isn't needed by the body is harmful in its processed form. If you ate an orange, banana or other "natural" sweet fruit your body breaks it down without issue meaning the liver doesn't have to filter out toxins.
Liver? Yes, two of the major functions of the liver is to filter out processed toxins from processed foods and break down body fat. the problem is that it can't do both at the same time. So the body will get rid of the toxins first. This affects the body with the fats it supposed to break down putting them on the back burner (fat storage).
The idea is to eat non processed foods allowing the liver to break down natural fats, carbs and sugars . I hope this helps.View Thread

You see, as an example if you eats eggs (good fat) and have water to drink, no problem. Your body will break it down as it is a natural fat. If you had OJ with that egg, then your body can't break down that fat from in the egg because it has to get rid of the processed sugar from the juice first thus storing the fat from the egg (not good).
Drop all processed sugars from your diet including fake sugars. That also means juices of any kind which are loaded with sugar. The worst thing in the world to drink is orange juice. If I had to explain the process for OJ, you'd run.
Anyway, Let me know what you are eating and I would be happy to send you a nutritional guide to assist you.View Thread
