5 Foods You Should Not Eat Again by Opeomoope: 9:53pm On Aug 24, 2016 |
When you are trying to get healthy and lose
weight, there are certain foods you should
avoid. Most of these food are obvious
because they contain ingredients known to
cause weight gain. There are some foods
not as obvious and can be just as bad for
you. These foods are a problem because
most people do not know how to avoid
them and therefore consume them more
often than they should. Here are five such
foods you should never eat again.
White bread
White bread is a local staple but the truth is,
it doesn’t have any nutritional value. It
contains a lot of sugar and isn’t as filling as
desired.
Substitute your white bread for whole grain
or whole wheat bread when possible. Also
substitute bread on your sandwiches with
lettuce leaves or whole grain tortillas.
Fried Foods
Many people only associate fried food with
fast food restaurants and do not realize they
also consume them at home. Avoid frying
any meal, consider baking or broiling
instead. Fried foods are not nutritious and
can cause blood pressure and cholesterol
levels to rise. They can also cause you to
gain weight needlessly.
Cream-based salad dressings
Salads can be very nutritious but can
become unhealthy when covered in cream-
based dressings that contain a lot of fat and
calories. There can be more calories in your
salad dressing than in the rest of your entire
salad.
Try oil-based salad dressings instead. They
taste lighter, and have less calories.
White rice
Rice is a common staple but the truth is,
white rice can cause your body to store fat
when it doesn’t need to. It also has no
nutritional value. Local rice (Abakaliki) and
brown rice is the best option because it is
full of fibre, vitamins and nutrients. It will
also keep you satisfied longer so you are
less likely to overeat.
High fructose corn syrup
High fructose corn syrup can quickly cause
you to gain weight and even make you have
cravings for more sugar and sugary foods.
Overeating sugary foods and foods that are
high in fructose corn syrup can even lead to
diabetes and other health problems. Avoid
processed sugars and opt for fresh fruits
and berries. |
