It was earlier believed that weight loss and weight gain depended on the concept of calories in and calories out. However, latest research has something else to point. As per it, the calories in and out are not always created equal. For instance, 100 calories that people take while drinking soda is completely different within the body from the 100 calories they take when they eat broccoli. There are six foods that have surprising effect on the metabolism right after people consume these.

Soda is one of these foods that have a real bad reputation since it contains HFCS syrup. Now, the HFCS syrup is a common sweetener that is found in many soft drinks and processed foods. According to American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, there is a deep link between obesity and HFCS. In fact, HFCS might lead to obesity due to its negative impact on metabolism. Due to this drinking soda directly affects the metabolism.

White bread is another food that wrecks havoc to metabolism. This is because the fiber and other carbs are broken down the body. The body doesn't have to burn down the calories in order to break down the foods. This slows the metabolism process. Due to this reason high fiber foods are better as it speeds up the metabolism process that is needed to break down the food.

In another study published on Front Public Health, farmed beef might hurt metabolism process big time. Since farmed beef contains more antibiotic than grass fed beef. The study showed how the antibiotics harm the good bacteria in the consumer's gut. This bacterial change disturbs the metabolism process resulting in weight gain.

Non-organic fruits such as apples also slow down metabolism since it contains harmful pesticides. The study conducted showed how metabolic changes in mice caused weight gain. Interestingly, all these were traced back to the pesticides in vegetables and fruits. So, to limit consuming pesticides and its effect on the body, the researchers advice consuming organic fruits.
