5 FOODS you should avoid to lose weight quickly

  After weeks of parties and excesses, it's time to get serious and start leading a healthier lifestyle. Start the year with the best attitude and reach your ideal weight in no time by avoiding these 5 foods. We assure you that if you stop eating these 5 foods, you will start noticing changes in your figure quickly: 1. Frozen Food Okay, it's true. Frozen food is super convenient, but do you know how many calories each dish contains? Surely, many more than your body will be burning while you eat sitting at your desk. The next time you feel tempted to buy frozen pasta, think about how many stairs you'll have to climb to burn those calories. 2. Sugary Drinks Most likely, when you read this, a bottle of soda came to mind, but there are many other drinks that may seem harmless, yet are full of sugar. Are you thinking of having apple juice with your salad? Check the nutritional information. You might find that that little cup has more calories than your entire meal. 3. Snacks Before demonizing all snacks, we need to clarify: not all snacks are bad. To lose weight, you should stay away from snacks that only contain carbohydrates, as they cause spikes in blood sugar levels (which makes you end up eating more). Instead of eating potato chips in the mid-morning, treat yourself to a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. 4. Low-Fat Food It seems ironic, but these products can actually make you gain more weight. Why? It turns out that when people know they are eating something low in fat, they tend to eat more. It’s that simple. Forget about light versions and look for more nutritious natural options, like olive oil and avocado, instead of dressings, for example. 5. Processed Foods Aside from all the chemicals and the large amount of preservatives that these foods contain, there is one ingredient in particular that can prevent you from reaching your ideal weight: sodium. Processed foods have high levels of sodium, which causes you to retain water and become bloated. Reach your goals and feel healthy by preparing foods full of nutrients and flavor.
