Eckberg says these are the foods you should avoid
1.Too much alcohol because it is a neurotoxin and hurts gut biome. A moderate amount of alcohol is OK
2. Artificial Sweeteners – Aspartame is worst (NutraSweet), Sucralose (Splenda) Saccharine. – I take little packets of Stevia by Sweetleaf in my purse to use in tea & coffee.
3. Avoid Refined carbohydrates & sugars – keto diet avoids these.
4. Margarine – this is a trans fat – hydrogenated fat. – eat real butter!! preferably from grass fed cows.
5. MSG Monosodium glutamate -flavor enhancer- this is in canned soups, salad dressings & flavorings- make your own soups & salad dressings.
7. Seed Oils – corn, canola, soybean oil etc. They are chemically created and are high in Omega 6. I pan fry in coconut oil with olive oil & bacon grease
8. Food additives & preservatives.
9. The following vegetables should be organic because they often have pesticides:
bell peppers, carrots, celery, green beans, leafy greens like spinach & kale, tomatoes
