Are you putting 100% into your diet program, but feel like you’re getting 0 results?
Many people find themselves in this
pickle. They work hard, hold on to their diet strategy like bulldog, but
fail to see the transformation they wanted. Hopes were high, but the
scale just isn’t going downward.
What gives?
Often, the problem is not effort or
motivation. The issue is that they are incorporating certain foods in
their diet plan that are actually not diet foods at all. The diet
industry is big business, and unfortunately many companies market their
products as healthy, even though they are counter-productive options.
What are these foods? Here are three problem foods you need to cut from your diet immediately.
Fruit Flavored Yogurts
Fruit flavored yogurts are a favorite
among many dieters, but many fail to see them for what they are:
pint-sized sugar bombs. Individual yogurt packs have gotten unhealthier
and unhealthier, while their reputation as a go-to diet food has
regrettably survived.
Next time you’re picking out your
favorite yogurt, double check the sugar content. You might be surprised
to find there are 15+ grams of sugar per serving.
Of course you can purchase the
sugar-free varieties, but then you’ll be consuming unwanted artificial
sweeteners, which can be just as bad for you.
Instead, opt for plain Greek yogurt. Flavor it yourself by adding a handful of fresh berries.
Fat-Free Products
Beware of any product marketed as
‘fat free’. These products proudly label themselves as fat-free, and
that very well may be true.
But ask yourself, if the fat is
removed, what has been added? Time and again, the fat content has been
substituted with something just as undesirable.
Often that means heaps of sugar.
If you are trying to lose body fat, sugar is just as bad — if not worse — than fat is.
Protein Bars
The last problem food to be wary of
is the protein bar, despite its prevalence in many diet programs and
meal plans. These may seem like a great option because they contain
protein, but once again you have to look a little closer.
Check that sugar content. Most protein bars have upwards of 15 grams of sugar per bar. Some contain 30 and even 40 grams.
In actuality, these are glorified
chocolate bars. While you can buy a few bars with very low sugar content
(five grams or less per bar), these will require a little searching.
Sadly, many dieters are blissfully unaware of these three problem foods. Are any of them in your current diet?
