How to Identify and Eliminate Foods That Sabotage Your Metabolism

Do you struggle to lose weight despite watching what you eat?

You might be consuming foods that, although they seem harmless, are negatively affecting your metabolism. These are known as aggressor foods, a concept developed by metabolism specialist Frank Suárez.

Below, we explore what aggressor foods are, how to detect and eliminate them, and why doing so can make a huge difference in your well-being.

What Are Aggressor Foods?

An aggressor food is one that strongly impacts your metabolism. This impact occurs when the food causes a significant spike in blood glucose levels, triggering the production of insulin. Insulin, known as the storage hormone, converts that excess glucose into fat, which commonly accumulates in the abdominal area.

What’s interesting about aggressor foods is that they vary from person to person. For example, while wheat may be an aggressor for some, for others, it might be something unexpected like tomatoes or cucumbers. This depends on genetics and how each body responds to different foods.

The First Step: Eliminate WRC (Wheat, Rice, and Corn)

Before identifying your specific aggressor foods, it is recommended to eliminate wheat, rice, and corn for at least two weeks. These foods are very common and tend to strongly stimulate insulin production. Reducing them will help you more accurately identify other foods that might be affecting your metabolism.

How to Identify Your Aggressor Foods

The detection process requires discipline but is simple and effective:

1. Measure your fasting glucose.

   • Before eating a specific food, take an initial blood glucose reading.

2. Test the food.

   • Consume a portion of the food you want to evaluate.

3. Measure your glucose two hours later.

   • If you notice a significant change in your glucose levels (an unusual spike or drop), that food might be an aggressor.

4. Verify the results.

   • It is important to repeat this process at least twice to confirm whether the food is an aggressor.

Where to Start?

The best way to begin is by testing foods considered “metabolism-friendly” or Type A foods. These foods, such as leafy greens, lean proteins, and healthy fats, have a low impact on glucose levels and are ideal for starting the process.

Later, you can evaluate Type F foods (which contribute to weight gain and are enemies of metabolism), such as carbohydrates or fruits, making sure not to exceed the recommended portions in Frank Suarez’s 3x1® Diet.

Benefits of Eliminating Aggressor Foods

Once you identify and eliminate these foods, it’s common to notice improvements such as:

✅  More stable glucose levels*
✅  Reduced fat storage*
✅  Less bloating*
✅  More energy and overall well-being*

Additionally, this process is especially useful if you have already implemented other metabolism-boosting steps, such as the 3x1® Diet, proper hydration, and craving control.
