Avoiding sweets and junk food does not guarantee you quick weight loss.
A healthy diet full of pitfalls, which are easy to get losing weight people. Experts told about what misconceptions interfere with you to achieve the figure of your dreams.
Error 1. Don’t you watch the portion size
Many believe that if a product is useful, then you can eat it in unlimited quantities. This is a big mistake. Even healthy foods like cereals, whole grain pasta or sweet fruit, consumed without restrictions, it can negate all your efforts.
How to fix
Buy a kitchen scale and weigh all the food that is consumed.
Download the app to count calories or keep a diary, not to exceed their daily rate.
Remember that the packages and the tables show the calorie content per 100 grams raw product, and the weight of the dry / raw and finished products may vary significantly. So either weigh the food before cooking, or looking at the tables of caloric content of foods.
Error 2. You do not consider the caloric content of the sauce
Many dieters assume that a small amount of the sauce increases calorie meals. In fact, store-bought sauces usually very high in calories and fat: they contain about 30 grams of fat and over 300 calories per 100 grams. Adding to the dish 30 grams of sauce, you’re consuming 90 calories, most of which are saturated fats.
How to fix
Replace store-bought sauces with all-natural spices. So you’ll reduce the calorie content of their meals not at the expense of their taste.
If you can’t give up sauces, adhere to the principle of the lesser evil: instead of ketchup buy natural tomato paste, and mayonnaise replace with the sauce of plain yogurt and mustard.
Error 3. Do you prefer low-fat products
Low-fat milk and milk products not only help to lose weight, but are forced to consume more calories. Recent studies have shown that the sign “0% fat” on the package leads consumers to eat more of the product and get an average of 84 more calories than the consumption of foods with normal fat content.
In addition, fat free foods do not give the feeling of satiety and vitamins and minerals are digested much worse. As a result, you receive no benefits and after a short time again want to eat.
How to fix
Buy dairy products with average fat content.
Consider not only calories, but protein, fats and carbohydrates.
Carefully read the labels: some fat free foods to improve taste add sugar, which could increase their caloric content.
Error 4. You prefer fried dishes
Vegetable oil used in the frying process, greatly increases the caloric value of the dish.
How to fix
Use other ways of cooking: bake foods in the oven, cook for a couple.
Buy the pan with non-stick coating that enables frying without adding oil.
If you use oil during frying, do not pour it into the pan from the bottle and lubricate the surface with a brush.
Error 5. You eat too much healthy sweets
Often advised to replace candy and cookies for healthier snacks: nuts and dried fruits. Yes, they are much more nutrients but many calories. For example, a small handful of walnuts, weighing 30 grams contains 196 calories and the same amount of dates — 80 calories.
How to fix
Get a plate of dried fruit and nuts from a visible place.
Before you eat a healthier snack, measure out a portion, weigh it and count calories.
Go on a healthy diet and don’t let the mistakes and illusions to nullify all your efforts.
