Losing weight can be a hard struggle.
Changing your eating habits and lifestyle is very difficult. Consumption of
healthy food and regular exercise is a great start for ideal weight loss plan,
following this plan is not easy but effective. But healthy food and workouts
might not be enough to fast weight loss. Now days, many packaged foodstuffs in
the market contains hidden calories in large quantity.
A healthy human being must have 2,000
calorie per day, this calorie diet should have less than 70 grams of fat, less
than 25 grams saturated; 300 - 350 grams of total carbohydrate, including
sugars and 2,500 milligrams of sodium.
20 Flattering foods you
should never eat to lose weight:
1. White Bread
Though white bread is said to be a
staple item in nearly every pantry, it does not have any dietary value. It
contains large amount of sugar and does not satisfy one’s hunger. So, a few
hours after consuming white bread, a person will definitely feel hungry and
start hunting for snacks.
2. Whole Wheat Pasta
Though replacing brown pasta with
regular white pasta indicates healthy diet, it can be an obstacle for losing
weight. Whole wheat pastas are said to have high carbohydrates, which when
digested, becomes sugars in one’s body. These whole wheat pastas might also
have as much of calories as white pasta brands. Replacing pasta with spaghetti
squash gives lesser carbohydrate intake and it would be a good choice.
3. Fried Foods
Almost everyone knows that fried foods
items including chicken nuggets, French fries, onion rings, burgers, doughnuts,
deep fried chicken and the like, are
not healthy food options and that these should be avoided as much as possible.
These foods can be connected to piles,
irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, higher cholesterol levels and
elevated blood pressure. Elevated Cholesterol & blood pressure levels
diminish one’s cardiovascular strength and make them prone to heart disease
& strokes.
4. Soda
The entire calorie content in a normal
soda is contributed by either sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. Some call
sodas liquid candies, which is not good for health.
5. Canned fruit
This might sound healthy but not
necessarily they should be fruits. Most of canned fruits are overloaded with a
lot of sugar content.
6. White Rice
White rice is similar to white bread to
put it plainly. It simply encourages our body to stock up excess fat amounts
that our body does not need, thereby making it tough to lose weight. It also
has very less nutritional value.
7. Cakes and Cookies
It is not at all advisable to eat any
type of cakes! There are so many varieties such as cheese cakes, crumb cakes,
chocolate cakes and many other such cakes. It is always seen as dieters'
downfall.
8. Whole Milk
Whole milk is stuffed with saturated
fat which increases the levels of bad cholesterol in the body and increases
inflammation. It also contributes to increase in weight and also promotes
clogged arteries.
9. Salad dressings
Eating healthy salad does not mean that
one can pack it completely with high fat & high calorie dressings. Olive
oil & vinegar, the regular dressings are better but if they want other
dressings, they should stick to low calorie dressings.
10. Frozen Dinners
Though healthy frozen diners can have
low sugar or fat content, they are mostly junk foods. Some of people’s much loved
frozen foods contain more than 1000 calories per serving.
11. Corn Syrup, processed
sugars
One should avoid processed sugars. Cory
syrup & processed sugar could fasten the pace at which they gain more
weight. They also kindle the craving for sugary foods.
12. Peanut
Butter
Though peanut butter contains many
healthy fats, it is also loaded with calories. A tablespoon of peanut butter is
said to contain around 200 calories and most of the peanut butter available in
the market are said to contain added sugar content.
13. Tomato sauce
One might feel that tomatoes are good.
Yes they are but definitely not in the form of sauces, as sauces are filled
with sugar or salt (at times both). It is advisable to use homemade sauces or
one can purchase certain brands that contain lesser quantity of the stuff that
are to be avoided in their diet.
14. Hot Dogs
In the common hot dogs available in the
market, around 80% of calories are made of fat – especially the saturated fats
that are unhealthy. If one frequently eats processed meats such as hot dogs,
they are prone to be exposed to risk of colon cancer & heart disease.
15. Appetizers
In general, one should try to keep away
from appetizers as they are packed with calories. Those who are undertaking
diet for weight loss, appetizers are strictly to be avoided. It is advisable to
stick to the main course which has adequate amount of nutrition for one’s body
and satisfies hunger. Appetizers can be replaced with a healthy soup and lesser
amount of main course.
16. Pickles
Though pickles have lesser calorie
& fat content, they are rich in sodium which is not good. However, but if
one likes the flavor of cucumbers, they can cut some cucumbers and can add
small amount of vinegar to it. They will get an acidic taste but at the same time,
they need not worry about bloating caused by salts.
17. Soy
Most of the soy available now are
genetically modified (GM) ones. Human bodies are not intended to process such
GM foods. Hence, it is advised to avoid all GM foods. Moreover, soy also
has elevated levels of estrogen like compounds. These compounds interfere with
human’s normal hormonal balance.
18. Vegetable oil
Certain oils are better for health than
few others. Vegetable oil is one such not-so-good oils. Replacing unsweetened
apple sauce with oil while cooking could be a better alternative.
19. Seasoning
Salt
Many prefer to include various
seasoning salts while cooking. Though it might taste good, it actually turns
good and healthy meals into food that elevate blood pressure levels and also
ignite craving, so try to void it.
20. Tuna packed in oil
Though tuna supplies lot of vitamin C,
zinc and manganese, when packed in oil, it also gives lot of fat. Hence it
should be avoided.
