Think all vegetables are healthy? Think again. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals five "superfood" vegetables that could be sabotaging your weight loss, spiking inflammation, disrupting your hormones, and blocking fat burning. Backed by science and expert interviews, you’ll learn exactly which vegetables to avoid, why they’re harmful, and what to eat instead for maximum fat loss and metabolic health.
π₯¦ Top 5 Vegetables to AVOID for Fat Loss & Inflammation:
Spinach
High in oxalates → bind to minerals, damage the gut lining, and deplete glutathione
Linked to joint pain, kidney stones, and leaky gut
Can spike cortisol, increase belly fat, and cause fatigue
Kale
Another oxalate-rich leafy green
Contains goitrogens that can impair thyroid function (→ slows metabolism)
Potential trigger for autoimmune flare-ups
Swiss Chard
A colorful but sneaky oxalate bomb
Depletes B6 and biotin → worsens hormonal balance and fat storage
Linked to skin, joint, and metabolism issues
Beets
High in natural sugars + oxalates = double trouble
Increases insulin and glucose spikes
Damages mitochondria, slowing your fat-burning capacity
Potatoes (white/red)
High glycemic load + oxalates = metabolic chaos
Promotes water retention, fat storage, and bloating
Especially dangerous when eaten with high fat (e.g., cheese & butter)
