Step 1
Muesli
Ready-made muesli contains more than 400 kcal per 100 g. Especially dangerous are baked muesli, muesli with additives (honey, chocolate) - they have a lot of sugar. If you want to consume a truly healthy product, then make them yourself: a pack of oatmeal, dried fruits, sunflower seeds.
Step 2
Energy Bars
Sold in pharmacies and health food stores. However, they are not dietary at all. One bar can contain up to 300 kcal. The main purpose of such bars is to replenish energy reserves and are needed by athletes over long distances.
Step 3
Low fat yogurt
It is believed that it is necessary to consume low-fat foods when dieting. However, fat-free foods are inferior in taste to conventional foods. Therefore, manufacturers add sugar, for example, or starch to them. Which increases the total calories and fast carbohydrate content.
Step 4
Juices
Freshly squeezed juices are high in carbohydrates. So, to make a glass of orange juice, you need about 6 oranges. That is, one glass of juice contains as many calories as 6 oranges. It is healthier to eat fruit than juice from it. Since the juice is absorbed faster.
Step 5
Synthetic sugary drinks
It seems that the sweetness is provided by sweeteners, in which there are no calories. However, such drinks can be harmful to health. In addition, they do not give a feeling of fullness, but on the contrary, they only increase the desire to use them more and more.
Step 6
Dried fruits
You have to be careful with dried fruits, eat in small doses. To improve the taste, sucrose is added to dried fruits, and sulfur is added for a beautiful appearance. These supplements will not help you lose weight.
