5 "Healthy" Foods and Habits That Are Sabotaging Your Weight Loss

I'm not in the business of giving free advice or try to convince someone that most of what they think they know is wrong. So I keep nodding and smiling as they say things like, " I never eat fast food, just as sandwich grilled " chicken or tell me about once lost £ 20 bee pollen or the last big pill diet, but began to feel that her hair was falling or because his heart would beat so fast when they stopped taking it. Nod and smile. Nod and smile .

I know most people think they know how to eat healthy " , but simply choose not to " attempt to go on a diet from an average of 6-10 times a year. I know that if I went home and
check your refrigerator and pantry , and you tried to diet, I would find things like butter low fat peanut , bread "light" , Weight Watchers Ice Cream , Kitchen Smart cards and lean , fat-free cheese , rice cakes , gluten free cookies and Special K bars. If I paid , I asked them how many times the purchase of this product has helped them lose weight and keep it off . would I ask if they like food that makes them feel full and satisfied , and if so , why are at it again so quickly? give them this list and encourage them to throw everything they think they know about healthy eating and continue to work with a dietitian to learn how to eat better to feed their bodies, satisfy your appetite and make them feel excited and happy - instead of private and depressed.

A. All gluten free. Cookies, crackers , pasta , flour, hot dog buns . I would not be surprised if soon labeled gluten-free Coke . I want to emphasize that in no way words sound gluten free and equal , more nutritious or less " fattening " . Having a triple cheeseburger, but opt for gluten-free bread makes all the difference zero . For those of you with celiac disease or gluten intolerance tested, yes, of course , go on your way to finding gluten-free products . But for the general population , which has been deceived . You have been deceived into buying products that are twice as expensive and do not offer any additional nutritional benefit . A handful of gluten free crackers based on 35 ingredients (most of which you can not pronounce ) are not good for you. A gluten free chocolate cookie is no better for you than regular old Chips Ahoy - .

Two . Nonfat cheese . It's Tuesday and make tacos. You opt for the fat, as it is on a diet of Mexican cheese. Good good choice? False. You are more likely to use double cheese flavor without fat than usual to try to achieve the same taste or texture , and are still not satisfied . Have you read the ingredients of this cheese ? Depending on the brand , you can find things such as starch, " melted cheese " (? ) , Inulin , cellulose powder , artificial color , yeast , xanthan gum, locust bean gum has ... I have to follow? You know what I want in my cheese ? Cheese . Fermented milk enzymes (which convert milk into cheese ) and maybe some spices . If you read an ingredient and your brain does not register as food, neither will your body.

Three . Reduced -fat peanut butter . Newsflash : GOOD Nuts, healthy fat. Why do you want a product that has good fat and add more sugar? If you're looking for a peanut butter health , go to the bulk section of the store and find stuff that's earth at that very moment, the only ingredient is peanuts. No added oils, sugars, salts , nothing. As nuts as it should be .

April . Fat Free Ranch and fat mayonnaise . Similar to peanut butter way, most of these dressings have been perceived by the sugar and fat . They have to make the product palatable and taste somehow , so they are fat and sieve in more sugar. Your best bet is balsamic vinegar and a little extra virgin olive oil in a salad. As will mayonnaise , most of the first three ingredients in the fat-free versions are water, corn syrup and high fructose sugar . Try adding some healthy fat to your sandwich and use avocado instead spread cream. Add hummus or whole grain mustard , if lawyers are not your thing (but should be) . Fat has been demonized in recent decades , leading us to buy everything and no fat or reduced-fat labeling. The irony is that , as a nation, we only got bigger.

May . Rice cakes . One question: why? Does anyone really enjoy eating rice cakes ? Sure, it is 3 calories per pop, but have you ever had a rice cake and then I thought : "Damn, I'm glad I ate " Stop eating foods "filling " that have no real nutritional value simply because they are low in calories or fat. Instead of going for a natural number , food , full of nutrients untreated will satisfy your stomach and your taste buds. If you're hungry , really hungry , then eat something! Pay attention to your body and listen to your hunger cues . There is a difference between a need and hunger. When you have a craving , you want a particular food , ie , chips , chocolate, lasagna, etc. and so is the food or something similar will do. Hunger is when something is going to do. an apple a ofcereal bowl , steak , nothing. If you are trying to decide if they are hungry or have a craving , ask yourself, would an apple know ? If the answer is yes , then you're probably hungry. If the answer is no, but Snickers bar is then just a wish.

If you are guilty of one or all of these things do not beat yourself for it. In my quest to learn to eat healthier and fuel my body in the best shape possible and do in my career and business , I made many mistakes in recent years . Manufacturers claims are crazy to make us believe that their products are healthy , there is always a new hot topic new feature promoting a new diet or super favorite celebrity endorses Dr. Oz and quick fixes is a new supplement that will help you lose 10 pounds in a week on alternate days. Nutritional ( and misinformation ) Information is everywhere . If there was one piece of advice I can give anyone trying to live a healthier life , would start reading ingredient labels and questioning where their food comes from and what 's in it . The more you can get a cleaner more natural food instead of relying on canned food and drive-through , the better you will be.
