Açaí Bowls The açaí berry is a trendy smoothie bowl staple, but Ryan Neinstein MD of Neinstein Plastic Surgery in New York City is not convinced. The doctor notes that although the berry itself “may have a lot of antioxidant properties… The problem is that most people are not just eating açaí. The bowls are more popularly eaten with add-ons such as nut butters, seeds, and more fruit. With the addition of some of these foods, calories and sugar increase significantly.

Alcohol

Apples, high-FODMAP food. FODMAP is a group of compounds, particularly short-chain carbohydrates, which she says contribute to irritable bowel syndrome and gastrointestinal disorders. Other high-FODMAP foods include garlic, onions, and black beans.

Bacon

Bread “I won’t eat bread or pasta," says Dr. Patrick Roth, author of The End of Back Pain, chairman of neurosurgery at Hackensack University Medical Center, and founding member of the North Jersey Brain & Spine Center. "This choice is based on the belief that each of us has a distinct susceptibility to foods with a high glycemic index. I subscribe to focusing on keeping my insulin level low with low-glycemic index foods rather than on counting calories. Bread and pasta present three problems: They are high-glycemic index, they are not whole foods (manmade), and they are tremendously delicious and addictive.”
