I Lost 60 lbs by Quitting These Inflammatory Foods — In Just 48 Days

I never thought food could be the reason I was feeling bloated, and just… off. I always blamed my metabolism, my hormones basically everything except what was actually on my plate.

That was until I made one change.

Instead of focusing on eating less, I focused on eating right. And that meant cutting out foods that were quietly messing with my body from the inside out. So, I quit just inflammatory foods, and in 48 days, I lost 60 lbs. But the weight loss wasn’t even the most shocking part my energy, digestion, and even my sleep transformed.

The Foods I Quit (And Why You Should Too)

1. Ultra-Processed Foods

I used to grab whatever was quick and easy packaged snacks, frozen meals, sugary drink: whatever in my fridge goes directly going to my mouth. But I never realized how badly these were affecting my body.

What I cut out:

Chips, cookies, and crackers

Frozen meals (yes, even the “healthy” ones)

Sugary drinks like soda and energy drinks

Processed cereals and white bread

What happened when I quit:

My bloating disappeared

I stopped feeling exhausted by 2 PM

My digestion improved instantly

What I ate instead:

Fresh veggies & fruits

Whole grains

Home-cooked meals

2. Refined Carbs

Refined carbs were making me hungry all the time, few hours after the meal I started feeling hungry My blood sugar would spike, crash, and leave me craving more food.

What I cut out:

White bread, pasta, and rice

Sugary snacks like pastries and cakes

Sweetened drinks (yes, even “healthy” ones)

What happened when I quit:

No more sugar crashes

My hunger became normal

My skin started to clear up

What I ate instead:

Whole wheat bread & brown rice

Fresh fruits (not fruit juices!)

Nuts & seeds

3. Vegetable & Refined Seed Oils

These oils are everywhere restaurants you go, processed foods you buy, even “healthy” snacks you munch on. They trigger inflammation, clog arteries, and mess up gut health.

What I cut out:

Soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil

Margarine & processed spreads

Fried foods from restaurants

My stomach felt way better

No more random bloating

My skin looked brighter

What I used instead:

Extra virgin olive oil

Avocado oil

4. Processed Sugars

I knew sugar wasn’t great, but I didn’t realize it was secretly ruining my gut. The more sugar I ate, the more I craved. I guess you all know by the dopamine effect by sugar on our brain.

What I cut out:

White sugar, high-fructose corn syrup

Candy, sodas, flavored yogurts

Artificial sweeteners (they’re just as bad!)

What happened when I quit:

No more constant cravings

My energy stayed steady all day

My digestion felt so much better

What I used instead:

Natural honey & maple syrup

Whole fruits for sweetness

Dark chocolate (because I still need a treat!)

The Results After 48 Days

When I quit these inflammatory foods, I expected to feel a little better. I did not expect this:

I lost 60 lbs without starving myself

I slept like a baby (no more tossing & turning)

I had insane energy all day

My digestion improved in ways I didn’t even realize were possible

And the craziest part? I never counted a single calorie.

My takeaway

Most people think losing weight means eating less. But it’s really about eating smarter. I wasn’t overeating I was just eating the wrong foods.

So if you’re feeling sluggish, bloated, or stuck in a weight loss plateau, try this:

Cut out ultra-processed foods

Ditch refined carbs

Stop using unhealthy oils

Say goodbye to processed sugars

And instead, nourish your body with real, whole foods.

Trust me your body will thank you.
