Donuts and danish
So bread is bad – especially white bread that is made with refined flour. But pastries and things like donuts are even worse. Not only are they made with white flour, they are also packed full of sugar, which is likely to result in a rapid rise in blood sugar. The problem is that this usually causes hunger pangs, apart from which too much sugar in the diet is a common cause of obesity, and can also lead to diabetes.
Processed meats
Most processed meats, including sausage, ham, bacon, salami and polony, contain nitrates – a chemical that has been positively linked to colorectal cancer by the American Institute for Cancer Research. While it might seem like a good, quick, easy option that doesn’t contain sugar (though some processed meats do), always check the labels to make sure nitrates haven’t been used. If they do contain nitrates, then this is another of those foods to avoid eating in the morning.
