Foods To Avoid In Weight Loss

PIZZA
Most commercial and restaurant pizzas are packed with outrageous amounts of calories, fat, and salt which makes it as one of those foods at the top of the "junk food" food chain. Isn’t that enough reason to forget pizza?

FRENCH FRIES
You must avoid eating French fries, because potatoes, like rice and pasta have too much calorie plus the oil used to cook it makes it “calorie-packed.” French fries are not vegetables; they contain extremely high in fat and have tiny amount of nutrients. So, please, never eat FRIES.

POTATO CHIPS
Even if it says “Low Cal,” potato chips should never be part of your meal. Again, potato chips are made from potatoes; hence they are a sure source of fat. More so, potato chips are seasoned with too much salt which makes it more fattening. Remember, any food which is made of potato can make you fat.

ANYTHING FRIED OR BREADED
You are sure that the skinless chicken breasts and the lean meat in your fridge are healthy; however cooking them in a wrong way is also a sure bad choice. Any fried food is already a huge source of fat, how much more if they are breaded? If you do not want to super size yourself, it’s best to make a clean break with fried or breaded foods.

SWEET BREAKFAST CEREALS
Sure, cereals are a good source of fiber. But not all cereals are created equally, some are considered healthy, and some are not. Cereals are supposed to be healthy, however, if they are sweetened or flavored; then they just become a good source of high calorie and fat. You must be wise on what kind of cereal you should have for breakfast. You need to choose the ones that are made with whole grains

REGULAR SODA
You can drink soda, iced tea or coffee as much as you like as long as they contain 10 calories or less per glass. That is why a regular soda is a NO to dieting. If you cannot resist drinking soda, you need to choose the diet ones.

CAKE AND DESSERTS
Any food that is sweet is a major cause of weight gain. Even if they are “fat free” cakes and desserts, they can stuff your body with too much calories. If possible, replace cakes and other desserts with fresh fruits. Remember that “sugar means calories;” if you eat food with lots of sugar then you are actually eating numerous calories.

ANY KIND OF CHOCOLATE
Any kind of chocolates even if they are “fat-free” is causes of gain weight. This is due to the “sugar” content of these sweets. Milk chocolate especially is very high in calories, fat and sugar. You should always bear in mind that chocolate is energy bundled food and regular or excessive eating results in weight gain.

TOO MUCH BREAD
Bread is a general no-no for weight loss because most bread in the supermarket is made with white or enriched flour which is calorie-packed. White fluffy breads, baguettes or croissants are truly mouth-watering however they can also make you fat. You may opt to buy breads that list whole grains like "whole wheat" or "whole rye" as the first ingredient. Whole grains provide the fiber and healthy nutritional content you are looking for. Furthermore, serving size is another consideration when you're comparing labels. Usually bread companies show two or three slices of bread as a serving in order to increase the fiber or nutritional content of their products. When that is the case, you are now eating two or three times the fat, sugar, salt or other bread content than you think you're eating. Your comparisons should be equal - slice for slice. Remember that whenever, you eat too much of the ordinary bread (you find in groceries) you are turning your body into a fat manufacturing machine!

DELI MEATS
SODIUM and FAT are high on these commercially-available deli meats. Some may even contain sugar depending on how it is prepared. As much as possible, avoid meats that have high fat content suck as hams and salamis. If eating deli meats, however, is your only option, stick to lean and low-fat meats such as chicken and turkey.
