You have carefully crafted your diet by studying lists of diet foods. You considered everything: complex carbohydrates, minimal fats, vitamins, minerals… But know this: among the healthy and tasty, there are real traps!
Pineapple
Yes, it actually contains substances that help break down fats. And vitamins — right into your bloodstream! But did you consider the sugar? Eating pineapple gives you a sharp insulin spike that instantly turns all that sugar into fat. Just like that!
Salads
"I’m just having a salad!" — are those your words at a café, restaurant, or celebration? Uh-huh. Caesar — with fatty dressing and croutons made from white bread, Greek — with olive oil (THOUSANDS of calories!), sprinkle some cheese here, add a little salt there, and a bit more dressing… In the end, your diet dinner turns out to be a fat bomb.
Yogurt
One cup contains about 3 tablespoons of sugar. Didn’t know? Yes, in natural, unsweetened yogurt — less. But you add pieces of fruit and berries to it, right?
Avocado
It’s all benefits. Antioxidants, vitamins, healthy fats… But 350 calories per hundred grams — that’s more than in pork!!!
Smoothies
Cry, hipsters. Fruits (sugar), syrup (sugar!), ice cream (sugar!!), yogurt (sugar!!!)… In general, if you’re on a diet, your smoothie should consist of blended celery, cucumber, and pure ice. THAT’S IT.
Cottage Cheese
We can’t believe our eyes, but recent studies have shown that regular consumption of cottage cheese can lead to swelling and cellulite! All because of a simple carbohydrate — lactose. So be careful!
Dark Chocolate
You know that milk chocolate is bad, but dark chocolate is almost aristocratic and definitely not harmful. Ha-ha. 546 calories per 100 grams. For comparison, butter has 600. Cool?
Coffee
If you have the willpower to drink only black coffee, without sugar and milk — you’re our hero! However, the average serving of coffee “weighs” 400 calories — like a plate of macaroni and cheese! Syrup, sugar, cream — that’s all you!
Fresh Juices
A glass of orange juice is made from 4-5 oranges. Apple juice — from 6 apples. You wouldn’t want to know how much sugar is in them, trust me.
Omelet
Egg whites are the foundation for building muscle mass, your trainer tells you. He’s right! But when making an omelet, you add ham, cheese… And it turns into a cholesterol bomb. Fatty! Remember: 1 egg a day is the maximum, and if you can’t do without an omelet, make it without “fillers.”
Cheese
The younger brother of cottage cheese, but unlike it, it contains a whopping 40% fat per 100 grams. And low-fat cheese is no less caloric, don’t kid yourself! If you’re a raw foodist and not eating greens, try to limit yourself to 100 grams of cheese per week and choose goat milk products.
Wine
Even dry wine. One glass has over 100 calories! Did you and your friend finish a bottle together? Each of you got about 250 kcal. And if it’s with dessert or cheese, or paired with fruits… And it seems like you didn’t eat anything, but the scales show something terrible...
Sushi and Rolls
Japanese and Chinese women are so slim! It’s all because they eat fish, rice, and seaweed salads. That’s what thousands of articles on East Asian diets say. Forget it. In our sushi and rolls, the fish is not raw, but salted or smoked — that’s the first thing. Salted fish and rice retain water in the body — up to an extra liter! And you probably dip them in soy sauce. That’s the second thing. And what you think is a low-calorie sauce or light cheese can actually turn out to be mayonnaise and a wildly caloric “Philadelphia.”
Dried Fruits
Worse than fruits by 6 times. They are caloric and are eaten like seeds — one at a time, and suddenly you’ve already consumed your daily norm! And it’s only noon...
Tofu
Tofu contains only 60 calories per 100 grams, but it has a secret property: it absorbs ALL the fat from all the foods you’ve eaten. And it digests slowly so that everything is absorbed and distributed to your thighs, belly, and sides.
