3 Foods to Avoid on a Weight Loss Diet

Industrial Beverages

Industrial beverages such as soft drinks, flavored water, tea, beer… or commercially packaged coffee, fruit juices and any other mixtures that contain a lot of refined sugar… are foods you need to skip if you want to maintain optimal weight. Because consuming too many sugary drinks causes sudden weight gain.

Your best bet is to always carry a bottle of clean water. You can also choose home-brewed teas with fruit, cinnamon, or mint if you need flavor.

Processed snacks (high in carbohydrates)

Industrially processed snacks that are rich in carbohydrates and sugar such as cookies, rice cakes, cereals, granola bars, breads… can lead to weight gain if not consumed in moderation.

These foods only keep you full for a short time, so ideally try to satisfy your mid-morning and mid-afternoon cravings with healthy foods like cheese paired with low-calorie fruit, an apple with peanut butter, or yogurt with oats and almonds.

French fries

This is one of the foods to avoid when following a weight loss diet because it is high in saturated fat and carbohydrates. Some studies show that eating fried potatoes can affect overall health and cause weight gain in a very short time.

Instead of frying, you can enjoy boiled, steamed and baked potatoes in moderation, along with chicken, fish and vegetables.
