Unfortunately, healthy food is not always dietary, sometimes excessive consumption of such foods can lead to weight gain. What food is best for moderation?
Instructions
Step 1
Fruit juices
It is believed that regular consumption of juices is good for health, however, when choosing between a glass of juice and a whole fruit, you should always prefer the fruit. The fact is that the fruit, among other things, contains fiber, it slows down the breakdown of carbohydrates and gives a feeling of satiety. There is practically no fiber in juices, but there is a lot of fructose, and these are simple carbohydrates, which in large quantities harm the figure.
Step 2
Honey
A very useful product, but there is absolutely no reason to replace sugar with it if you are losing weight. A teaspoon of honey contains no less calories than the same amount of sugar, and even more because of the thickness and density of the product. So when looking for a non-nutritive sweetener, it's best to look at stevia.
Step 3
Muesli bars
Don't be fooled by the frequent "fitness" label on the product packaging - it usually means nutritional value, not dietary value. As a rule, the calories in muesli bars are no less than in some "Snickers", and whole grains cannot be found on fire during the day, so read the labels carefully.
Step 4
Bananas
These fruits have great nutritional value, they contain potassium, magnesium and vitamin B6, but they also contain a lot of sugar. Bananas are good as a snack, but if you are watching your weight, then try to eat them only in the morning and no more than 1 small banana at a time, preferably not too ripe.
Step 5
Yogurt
It is important to choose the right product here, for example, natural low-fat yogurt is very useful for the figure and its regular consumption leads to weight stabilization and is indicated for those who are on a diet. Another thing is yoghurts with fruit fillings. Even if they contain a minimum of fat, they contain a lot of sugar and various stabilizers. It is better not to buy such yoghurts or do it occasionally.
Step 6
Dried fruits
They are often advised to be used as a snack, but this is the product in the use of which it is important to observe moderation, because dried fruits are quite high in calories. If you are losing weight, eat at a time no more than 5-6 pieces of dried apricots, 3-4 pieces of prunes or a small handful of raisins, after drinking a glass of low-mineral water. In this case, dried fruits will provide a good feeling of satiety without going overboard in calories.
Step 7
Cereal flakes
They can be very beneficial if made from whole grains, but unfortunately it is very difficult to find such a product on sale. But very often there are sweet breakfast cereals on store shelves - it is better to bypass these. Do not buy cereals with a carbohydrate content of 15 g or more per 100 g of product.
