Four Foods That Destroy Your Weight Loss Efforts
 

If you’ve taken the time to set up an effective weight loss program and are all set to put in the effort necessary to see the results you’re going for.
If you’re not careful, you could end up consuming foods that are only going to harm your progress rather than help it. Which foods are we referring to? Lets’ go over four of the top foods that you might be eating that could be doing nothing but harming your weight loss efforts.

Low Fat Yogurt:

The very first food to reconsider with your diet plan is low fat yogurt. The problem with this is that often these varieties contain far too much sugar to be part of a healthy diet and will only cause your blood glucose levels to spike and then come crashing down. You’d be far better off selecting Greek yogurt, which is lower in sugar and far higher in protein to keep you satisfied until your next meal.

Cereal Bars:

The second food that might deserve to go on your ‘hit-list’ is the cereal bar. Cereal bars are highly refined in nature and won’t provide you with much protein at all. These will not satisfy your hunger, nor will they supply your muscles with the nutrients they need to build and repair themselves. Creating your own granola bars from home-made ingredients would be far preferable.

Bran Cereal:



Speaking of cereal, if you typically start your day with a bowl of bran cereal, this too needs to be looked at. The big issue with bran cereal is the fact that most cereals contain a great deal of added sugar, which most people would never suspect from a ‘bran’ based food. Read the label carefully so that you don’t fall for this trap. A far better alternative to start your day off with would be oatmeal instead.

Frozen Dinners:

Finally, the last food that you may need to reconsider adding to your weight loss plan is frozen dinners. Many people like these because of the portion control they’ll offer and while it’s true that they are typically lower in calories, they’re also typically low in protein, low in fiber, and not full of the nutrients that your body needs. If you are going to add a frozen dinner to your menu, you might want to consider tossing in a grilled chicken breast for added protein and a handful of frozen veggies for extra fiber as well. This will help to make the meal more well-balanced and able to sustain you through your evening.

So have a quick look at your current weight loss plan and see if these foods could potentially be causing you to struggle to see the results you’re going for.

As important as it is to count calories, it’s also vital to make sure the calories you’re consuming are coming from sound sources.
