The No White Food Diet is an eating pattern that is based upon the notion that eliminating all processed white coloured foods from the daily diet can help to promote weight loss and improved blood sugar control. The tops to avoid in this pattern are white flour, white rice, white salt, white sugar, and white oils, stressing the importance of eliminating anything refined.
Those who support this meal plan suggest that most white foods are unhealthy, and they have likened them to white food death as many have been heavily processed, are high in carbs and they contain fewer nutrients than their more colourful counterparts. By removing these white coloured foods from your diet it is suggested to set yourself up for a more nutritious diet that will promote weight loss and restore blood sugar balance.
Most health experts would disagree and suggest that basing dietary choices strictly on food being white is an oversimplified way to approach good nutrition. Also if followed to the letter, this would exclude healthy choices such as white mushrooms, Garbanzo beans, onions, garlic, turnip, and cauliflower from the diet.
