Mayo Clinic experts say that if a person consumes more calories than they burn, they gain weight. But that’s not all. Sometimes certain foods prevent weight loss.
-
Foods high in sodium and saturated fat. Opt for fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy products instead. Then your diet will become better.
-
Fruit drinks with added sugar. According to nutritionist Lauren Manaker, you’re taking in too many “empty” calories and too few nutrients when you drink this juice. It’s better to choose 100 percent juice (that is, all-natural, with no additives). Scientific research shows that adults who drink natural orange juice have much lower body mass index, waist circumference, or body fat.
-
Bakery products. Substitute sugar for prune puree and up to half the butter/fat in baked goods. To do this, mix about 450 g of pitted prunes with 1/2 cup of hot water in a blender.
-
Toast with jam or jelly for breakfast. Keri podcast host Keri Gans says many people don’t realize they’re getting an extra scoop or two of calories earlier in the day this way. Solving the problem is simple: you need to buy jelly or jam with sucralose.
