1. Fried Foods That Are Frightening
Deep fried foods are nutritionally bad for you. If you enjoy
going to fairs and carnivals, you may well be tempted to
eat the strangest of concoctions. It's amazing just what has
been thrown into the deep fryer in the name of creativity.
But the only thing you are going to create is havoc with your
weight loss diet.
2. Steakhouse Stories That Scare
Your local neighbourhood restaurant or steakhouse may be
a Nutritional Nightmare.
Fried onions that are considered a Starter Dish are so full of
Calories, Fat, Saturated Fat and with a high Salt content.
And to go from bad to worse, the onions are usually served
with a sauce that has even more Calories, Fat and Salt.
For the sake of your health, be sure you know your onions.
3. Manufacturers Mislead Many
Foods that are often labelled as healthy are just the opposite.
Marion Nestle PhD, MPH a New York University Nutritional
Professor in her book ‘What To Eat,' talks of ‘Fruit Snacks' that
have absolutely no fruit in them but were just laden with sugar.
Don't believe the adverts, read the labels carefully then decide
for yourself if it's right for you.
4. Burgers That Are Bigger and Biggest
Burgers are getting bigger and bigger. Burger King and others
are taking a bun and piling on as many as four burgers, plus
slices of cheese and strips of bacon. Just one of these burgers
will give you more Calories than you should eat if having three
meals a day.
If you really do want a burger, try ordering a plain burger. It could
be served with a sauce, but it should be on the side not on top.
That will save you eating more Calories than you need.
5. Awful Appetisers
How about a Fundido as a snack before the main meal?
A Fundido is made up of a combination of cheese, pepperoni,
bacon and sausage served with bread sticks.
If you are on a weight loss diet, a Fundido is a nutritional no-no.
6. Cakes and Cookies That Are Calorie Clogged
You are tempted to have a square of Starbucks Old Fashioned
Crumb Cake to go with your coffee but that little square has 670
Calories in it.
And a piece of Cheesecake has enough Calories in it to make a
mess of your weight loss diet, but the Cheesecake Factory adds
Chocolate Candy, Mousse etc.
Nice for a treat once a year, but for the rest of the year … DON'T.
7. Diet Drinks That Deceive
High Calorie drinks are so deceptive. They don't need chewing
and go down real easy and they don't fill you up. So how can this
innocent looking cup of coffee be loaded with 490 – 580 Calories?
It could be the chocolate or cream that is added.
To avoid piling on the Calories, order a small size cup of coffee
with low fat milk and sweeteners.
8. High Calorie Horrors
When you are out shopping at the Mall you may be tempted
by the delicious aromas of coffees, spicy pies and the mouth
watering smell of freshly made doughnuts.
But giving in to temptation could mean you may consume a day's
worth of Calories in one delicious but none essential piece of
confectionery.
Ok I'm being a spoil sport but, for the sake of your health and
weight loss diet, you would be better to take along a snack of
crackers and nuts or raw veggies. Enjoy.
9. Diet Disasters When Dining Out
Two decades ago, dining out was already beginning to be a
disaster for the person who was on a weight loss diet. The menu
offered high Calorie foods.
Things haven't improved over the years; in fact they have become
worse. On the menu in restaurants are such things as fried
macaroni and cheese and cheese fries. Just oozing with fat and
packed with Calories.
In order to keep to your diet change into a fluffy bunny rabbit and
talk yourself into eating and enjoying salads.
10. Super Sized Servings That Sabotage Your Diet
Have you noticed how it's not just fast food meals that have got
bigger? So have bagels, pasta servings, salads and sandwiches.
If you go out to a restaurant for a meal, most of the meals on the
menu are going to be around 1 000 Calories.
The question to ask yourself is, do I really need this food?
As Michelle May MD, author of ‘Am I Hungry?' and ‘What To Do
When Diets Don't Work' said, that ‘Once a person indulges in
a decadent dessert or monster burger, it triggers the ‘I've already
blown my diet, so why bother,' mentality.
Beyond that, May believes, the real horror may be the American
mind set about food. We were raised to clean the plate, so we
could be rewarded with a dessert, which further enhances our
desire to eat sweets and meals without recognition of fullness,'
she says.
If you want to keep to your weight loss diet, learn what foods
are best for you and avoid the ones that sabotage it.
