Lose weight, don’t cheat yourself! Many people think: I just take two more bites, and the calories should not be too high and will not affect the progress of weight loss. However, there are some foods that are so high in calories that each bite is equivalent to drinking oil.
After losing 29 pounds on the scale, I discovered that dumplings and steamed buns are nothing among the 5 foods with the strongest meat.
The following kinds of food, are “wolves in sheep’s clothing”, they are heat bombs, and if you accidentally take a few more bites, they will make your fat accumulate.
01 Cream cake
The cream cake has a sweet and soft texture, making it easy to eat more without even realizing it. The cream cake includes a lot of cream, flour and sugar, while the cream is rich in saturated fat and extremely high in calories, about 879 calories per 100 grams of cream, in addition to 400 calories per 100 grams of sugar.
And “the cake made of flour is also a carbohydrate that is digested and absorbed very quickly, which will quickly increase blood sugar”. In short, the excess sugar from the cream cake is in turn converted into fat for storage.
A small piece of cream cake (about 100) has as many as 300 calories, and the feeling of fullness may only last for 2 hours, which is far less than the feeling of fullness of 300 calories of lean meat.
02 Fried foods
Fried foods such as fried chicken, chips, fried dough sticks, etc. are all sugar-oil mixtures with high fat content. 100 grams of fried chicken has about 279 calories, and its fat content can be as high as 15 – 20 grams.
And foods that have been fried at high temperatures, when the nutrients are destroyed, also produce some harmful substances, such as trans fatty acids and acrylamide, which not only are not good for health, but also increase the risk of obesity and cardiovascular diseases.
03 Potato chips and other puffed foods
Many people like to eat puffed foods such as potato chips and shrimp sticks, which are crispy and delicious, which can easily make people have an appetite. Once the package is opened, it is often difficult to control the amount of food consumed, and they will eat a lot without realizing it.
However, these puffed foods are typical heat bombs, they are made by deep-frying or baking, with a lot of added salt and seasonings.
100 grams of potato chips have no less than 490 calories, a fat content of about 30 grams, and a high salt content. It is one of the foods that can easily make people gain weight.
04 Salad sauce
Many people think that vegetable salads are relatively low in calories and are suitable for eating during weight loss. However, they ignored the calories of the salad dressing, which is about 724 kcal for 100 grams and can reach 70 – 80 grams of fat.
If you are making a vegetable salad, in order to increase the taste, add a lot of salad dressing, which will cause the vegetable salad that was originally low in calories to become a high-calorie food.
05 Alcoholic beverages
The calories of alcohol are underestimated by many people, a 500 ml bottle of beer is about 150 – 200 kcal, and a 250 ml glass of wine is about 120 – 150 kcal. How many bottles of wine can you drink in one meal?
When many people drink alcohol, they will pair it with various peanuts, edamame, pork head and other side dishes. The calories in one meal may exceed 800 calories
And excessive alcohol intake will affect the metabolic function of the liver, allowing the body to metabolize alcohol preferentially, thus delaying the burning and metabolism of fat. Not only that, drinking alcohol tends to increase appetite, make it easier to consume other high-calorie foods, make the figure more likely to gain weight, and beer belly will appear faster.
To sum up: If you want to lose weight, you must have a self-disciplined diet, replace various high-calorie and unhealthy processed foods with low-calorie and lightly processed foods, learn to eat lightly, and pursue a healthy eating pattern, so that you can reduce the burden on your body and reduce your caloric intake, allowing you to lose weight healthily.
