Weight Loss
Presented by TryFoodLovers
2. In this modern creation were majority of the population is
working on ways to reduce weight, yet there are quite a few
people who are concerned by the failure to gain or maintain
healthy weight. Its hard to determine what the best diet is and
what foods are actually good for us. Many foods have been
heavily promoted as being healthy when they are nothing
more than pernicious junk foods.
Here is a list of foods that may cause you to gain weight if
consumed in high amounts or far less good for you than you’ve
been led to believe:
3. Processed meat
According to a research recently , meats
preserved by smoking, curing, or salting,
or that contain chemical preservatives,
are linked to an increased risk of colon
cancer. These products also tend to have
lots of salt, fat, and cholesterol, and very
few nutrients, like fiber which will prevent
you from losing weight.
Processed meat such as hot dogs, bacon,
salami are incredibly high in fat, most of
which is saturated which can increase your
of heart disease and certain cancers. This
can also contribute to weight gain.
4. Soda
Soda and other fizzy drinks make you retain
water, which is not good neither for your
health nor for your diet. With high levels of
sugar, acids, preservatives and other harmful
ingredients, soda causes more damage to the
body than just expanding the waistline.
People often prefer diet sodas as they think
this as safe, but diet soda has health risks
too, including an increased risk of heart
attack, weight gain, and stroke. Studies have
shown that individuals who drink two diet
sodas a day or more increases your risk of
death from cardiovascular disease as well
as your risk of developing diabetes.
5. Fried Potatoes
There is nothing bad if you eat potatoes
baked or boiled. But when you add butter,
sour cream or cheese and many more then
it contains high amount of fat in it.
According to research French fries are
the number one food keeping you fat,
and chips were the second. Potato
chips has an average of 1.69 pounds
were as French fries can make us fat by
3.35-pound gain.
Despite this finding, fried potatoes are
definitely worse for overall health due to
the high amount of fat added in the
cooking process, which is often saturated
fat such as palm oil.
6. Fast food
Fast Foods are often unhealthy for the
dieters in so many ways. Although fast foods
are fast and tasty but it is best to stay away
from any fast food restaurants in order to
resist the temptation. It has high content of
fat, saturated fats and possibly trans fat too.
These in combination with large portion
sizes, refined grains, fatty and processed
meats and high fat cheese make many fast
food options just about the worst diet food
you can find.
7. Frozen Meals
Frozen foods have become a staple of
the modern diet which is loaded with
high calories. It are low in fat, heavily
processed and are often high in sodium.
Even if you've thawed food safely in
the microwave it will degrade its
quality. If you've thawed exposed
food at room temperature your food
could become a home for numerous
pathogens that cause food-borne
illness.
8. Margarine
Margarine is the most misunderstood
and over-recommended foods in the
health community. It contains
hydrogenated fats and are loaded with
trans fat.
Those who consume margarine on a
regular basis is the possibility of a
higher cholesterol count as well as
increased risk for cancer. So skip the
fake stuff and go with olive oil or other
mono unsaturated fats.
9. Hot Dogs
Hot dogs are low in nutritional value.
They're high in salt, which can lead to
hypertension and heart disease.
Nitrates and nitrites are used in the
processing of meat to provide the color
and taste to these hot dogs.
The Cancer Project is trying to get the
word out about the dangers of processed
meats, especially hot dogs. Eating a hot
dog every day can increase your risk
of colorectal cancer by 21 percent.
10. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are fried, full of sugar and white
flour, and most all varieties contain 35 to 40%
trans fat and about 200 to 300 calories
mostly from sugar, and few other nutrients.
The high trans-fat intake has been linked
to coronary heart disease, in which fatty
plaques build up in the heart arteries,
sometimes leading to a heart attack.
It will throw off your blood sugar and doesn’t
provide any real nutrients. A large fried
doughnut covered in sugar and chocolate
usually has more negative health effects than
a small, plain, baked one.
11. Popcorn
Having a bowl of buttered or popcorn
popped in oil in addition to your normal
caloric intake will make you gain weight.
When you are watching a movie you
will likely to consume over 1,000
calories and 60 grams of saturated fat
per medium-sized serving. That's the
caloric equivalent of three large fast-
food burgers.
Its only an extra 250 calories each day
for 14 days to gain 1 lb which you
could easily gain weight by consuming
too many calories from popcorn.
12. Cakes and Chocolate
Having too much Chocolates and cakes
may contribute to gain more weight, bad
complexion, irritability amongst other
things. These foods are high in fat, sugar
and calories and generally provide very
little nutritional benefit.
The average 100g chocolate bar
contains about 20 to 30 g of fat, which
is over half of the recommended
allowance for most people.
