He decides to give it a try.” ▷ 11:31 Avoid Highly Processed Junk Food Diet “So a junk food meaning highly processed food, food that could last on the shelf a very long time. Highly processed foods that are usually high in both sugar, carbohydrate, carbs, and fats.” ▷ 11:44 Avoid High-Sugar and High-Fat Food Combinations Diet “That combination, high sugar, high fat, seems to be the worst combination for metabolic health.
