As you move through your diet this summer,
it’s going to be incredibly important that you take into account which foods
could do your diet harm, only causing fat gain to come on at record speed.
While many people know the obvious ‘weight
loss losers’ when it comes to their food choices – high fat snack foods like
chips and chocolate, fast foods, and baked goods, there are many other foods
that often sneak right by simply because you aren’t aware they are so
devastating for your diet plan.
If you hope to see optimal success, it’s a
must that you pinpoint these and remove them from your day.
Let’s have a quick peak at some of the top
diet disasters that you must know about.
Commercial
Burgers
The very first food that you will want to
think twice about adding to your diet plan is commercial burgers. While you may think that these are a fast
source of protein, think again. If you stop and take a look at the actual fat
and protein content of these burgers, you’ll come to find that they’re often
more fat than they are protein.
If they have 60% fat content and 40%
protein content, it doesn’t take much to realize that these are just not going
to be ideal for your diet plan.
Prepare your own instead using extra lean
ground beef or even better, lean ground turkey.
Pasta
Or Potato Salads
The second food that you should avoid on
your diet plan is pasta or potato salad.
While potatoes themselves can be an okay option for those seeking fat
loss results, the problem with these is that they’re preparing with very high
calorie dressings that includes mayonnaise.
Instead, prepare your own pasta salad using
whole wheat pasta, sliced veggies, and an olive oil based dressing. It’ll be a
totally different ‘feel’ compared to the other varieties of pasta salad, but be
a far healthier one.
Trail
Mix
With many people out and about throughout
the day, snacking tends to increase. You
want something that’s easy to take with you on the road or wherever you may be
so turning to trail mix is often what you’re doing.
While there are definitely healthy
components in trail mix, the problem with it is that it is higher in calories
and often contains simple carbs in the mixture.
If it has pretzels, cheerios, or other non whole-wheat foods in it, it’s
one variety that you can do without.
Prepare your own trail mix instead using
nuts, shredded wheat squares, as well as dried fruit. This will be a far better and lower calorie
option.
Fat
Free Ice Cream Or Frozen Yogurt
Moving along, fat free ice cream or frozen
yogurt is the next food that you’ll definitely want to banish from your summer
diet. Many people see these and think
they will be a good choice because they are lower in saturated fat.
But not so quick. When the fat is removed, sugar is often
added, making them just as detrimental to your diet plan.
Instead, seek out some of the low-calorie
fruit pops out there that contain just 40 calories or so per pop. While they won’t be the healthiest option you
could choose (real fruit is still going to be far better), at that low calorie
value, they aren’t’ going to do much harm.
So stay on the lookout for these foods this
summer. If you see them creeping into your meal plans, make sure that you
quickly give them the boot.
