In this article, learn more about 5 Foods From Which We Fill. Consumption of these foods leads to a slowdown in metabolism and weight gain..

While certain foods can speed up the metabolism and thus help lose weight , there are some that lead to the opposite effect. Therefore, if we find that we are gaining unwanted weight, we should consider whether this is not due to the consumption of some of these foods and beverages ...

1. White flour

While pasta and bread from white flour are more delicious compared to the whole , it is advisable to avoid them. The reason is that this flour does not contain fiber, so there is no need for the body to use energy to absorb this food. This slows down the metabolism .

2. Oil

The oil is rich in omega-6 fatty acids , and their high levels in the body pose a potential risk of insulin resistance - a condition in which the body's cells lose their sensitivity to insulin.

3. Carbonated drinks

The high content of fructose corn syrup in these drinks can lead to an extreme slowdown in metabolism levels . This sweetener does the same harm, regardless of the form in which it is consumed.

4. Candy

Candies cause a sharp rise in blood glucose levels and are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream , which adversely affects metabolism. To satisfy the "thirst" for something sweet, without leading to a jump in blood glucose levels, we can replace the candy with dark chocolate or fruit.

5. Alcohol

Consumption of several drinks can adversely affect the body's ability to burn fat . The reason is that the alcohol we consume is used by the body as "fuel" instead of carbohydrates, and they are stored as fat.
