FOODS
TO AVOID
White Bread
Avoid white bread. Many people indulge in toast, rolls or
sandwiches without realizing that white bread is packed with sugar and offers
no nutritional value.
White bread is only a filler food that makes people feel
hungry a short time after consumption. It is better to substitute white
bread with whole-grain bread or opting to use whole-grain tortillas or lettuce
for wraps and sandwiches.
Sugar-free Foods
An article on MSN warns against buying into the
sugar-free food craze. While the calories may be fewer, the substitute
sweeteners can raise your insulin levels.
Low-fat Food
Yea that’s right, Low-fat foods are actually not a healthier
choice. An article in Cosmopolitan indicates that foods that are labeled
low-fat have added sugar to compensate for flavor loss.
Once the body processes
the sugar, it is stored as fat. Additionally, people have a tendency to overeat
low-fat foods because they assume that they can eat more of a “healthy” option.
Fried Foods
Fried foods are a killer for your blood pressure and cholesterol
levels. Sometimes people assume if the food item itself is healthy, it will
remain healthy through the cooking process. This is simply untrue. Rather than
lose the healthy properties of food, opt to broil or bake your foods.
High-calorie Coffee Drinks
Coffee itself can be a beneficial drink that temporarily boosts
your metabolism and helps you burn fat. However, when you start adding your
favorite ingredients like sugar or cream, then you quickly have an unhealthy
drink.
If you love coffee and want to keep it in your diet as you try to lose
weight, then stick to regular black coffee.
Candy Bar
Candy bars an easy snack to grab on the go. However, those
little nuggets are filled with sugar and meaningless calories. They will not
fill you up, and you will be seeking out other foods within a few hours. Opt
for a healthy alternative such as fresh fruit or yogurt.
Pizza
It is one much loved food among many people. Pizzas contain processed meat and highly refined flour. There
are a ton of calories in a single slice, but pizza lacks the nutritional value
to keep you going.
If you have a craving for it, opt to make your own pizza
with healthier ingredients.
Microwave Popcorn
Popcorn can be a healthy snack option. However, according to an
article published on MSN, the
chemicals in the microwave bag can actually cause thyroid problems. Not to
mention the enormous amounts of added salt and butter.
A better solution is
making fresh popcorn on the stove and skipping the butter.
Salad Dressing
Nothing ruins the healthy properties of salad faster than salad
dressing. Because the greens are low-calorie and healthy, many people assume
that they can double down on the dressing.
However, most salad dressings have a
ton of sugar and worthless calories. A better option is to make an oil-based
dressing that still tastes great, but doesn’t include so much sugar.
