Drinks And Foods To Avoid When You Want To Lose Weight

By Daniel Clay

We all desire a healthy robust body which would help us to enjoy life and perform our activities satisfactorily. An obese bloated body creates an impression of laziness and incompetence apart from inviting a host of health problems like cardiac conditions, diabetes, overstressed bones and joints and eating disorders. Moreover, it is not easy to shed the flab once it has taken roots.

Motivate yourself to stay committed to achieving a healthy body and not only becoming thin overnight. The weight loss benefits of an Outdoor Fitness program can be greatly enhanced through the inclusion of appropriate food in your daily diet. Know more about healthy and unhealthy foods and which food items to include or avoid. Here is a helpful guide on the most common foods to avoid if you want to shed the flab and stay slim.

Pastries, candies, donuts, chocolate fudge, ice creams, boiled confectionary, dessert and artificial sweeteners should be strictly avoided if you want to lose weight. Full of simple carbohydrates, these foods are quickly assimilated by your body making you hungry for more. They provide you with instant gratification while silently contributing to the flab. Abstain from sinful desserts like puddings and cheesecakes or anything with lots of sugar in it.

Consuming an average of 30 pounds of French fries in one year can leave you heavier by about 14 pounds. So, cutting out all fried food is another important weight loss tip. Frying a food infuses it with calories from the oil thus increasing your overall calorie content. Additionally, lard or shortening increase the quantity of harmful saturated fat in your food. So avoid cakes, cookies and similar baked food which depend heavily on shortening.

Next on this list are foods having a high level of saturated fat. Skip all regular dairy products like cream, cheese, butter and yoghurt (settle instead for the low-fat variety). Don’t buy fattier cuts of meat like ribs, and prime cuts or high-fat ground meat. Apart from the high calorie contents in these foods, the saturated fat clogs your arteries making you prone to cardiac problems.

Junk foods are another group of forbidden food which weight watchers should watch out for. Full of high sugar content, junk food like chips, cheese balls, buttered popcorn, cookies, burgers and fizzy colas load your body with unhealthy fat.

When you are aiming to lose each pound by training regularly at an Outdoor Fitness camp, avoid buying any kind of processed food, including canned fruits and veggies. Processing not only takes out the healthy natural nutrients out of the food, it also infuses the food with extra salt which can contribute to water accumulation in your body; thus raising your body weight.

Avoid multigrain products; these are nothing but processed food products rich in harmful carbohydrates. Reduce your intake of coffee; it only increases your stress levels and cravings inducing you to reach out for calorie-rich comfort foods. Cut the amount of salt in your food. Salt causes your body to gain and store water, imparting you with a puffy look.

Lastly, alcohol should be a strict no-no for effective weight management. Replete with empty calories, alcohol slows down your metabolism thus making it difficult to burn down the fat cells. Alcohol also increases your appetite for comfort foods which are high in both taste and unhealthy calories.
