Top 10 Diet Foods That Can Actually Make You Fat [VIDEO]
- comments
Have you ever been sure if the weight loss foods you are taking won't actually make you fat? According to Yahoo Shine, many of us eat an average of 600 calories each day of non-nutritive food, already consuming 1/3 of our average food consumption. Many get these calories from snacks that don't benefit the body, instead of main meals.
It is also worth noting that there actually lots of "diet" foods out there which can also render more fat to your body than helping you lose weight, potentially sabotaging your diet plans. We have gathered top 10 "not really" weight loss foods that you should take note of the next time you plan your weight loss diet.
1. Cereal Bars
Many diet planners include these bars as their healthy on-the-go snack. However, not many know that it is also often filled with lots of corn syrup along with high fat levels. It can be as fatty and as sugary as the normal chocolate bar, Yahoo Lifestyle UK notes.
2. Veggie Chips
Many like taking vegetable chips as a healthy substitute for their usual junk food - stuff that they miss eating when going on a diet. However, it is believed that the real vitamins from the vegetables are lost when the manufacturing process of the chips takes place.
3. Salads
These become unhealthy due to its layers of oily dressings. Most are high in fat and sugar content too, unless you decide on skipping the dressing altogether.
4. Smoothies
Healthy smoothies and juices also became a trend for weight loss watchers. Yes, it can help make you healthy but it can never be a good replacement for supplementing meals since they can add more sugar instead of more fiber to your system.
5. Popcorn
This becomes unhealthy if butter or other flavor is added to it. It then can turn out to be fatty and sugary as well.
6. Nuts
According to Men's Fitness, nuts have lots of fats that are good for the heart. However, it does not necessarily mean that it will keep you lean.
7. Nutrition Water
There are some beverages these days which claim to be packed with vitamins but are not necessarily calorie-free. It is still essential that you get all the nutrients you need from food and not solely depend on getting them from vitamin-packed waters.
8. Coffee
You should be doubly aware of the kind of sugar or milk that is added to your coffee drink. It's what can ruin your minimal calorie intake.
9. Flavored Yogurts
Just like the rest of the foods listed here, yogurt is fine for as long as you be extra cautious of the flavored types since those are the ones which can potentially have high sugar levels.
10. Soup
Finally, be extra careful with soup. It can be deemed as the perfect weight loss food but some which contain cheese or dairy can be a little too salty which can result to bloating.
