When we switch to a diet aimed at unloading the body and losing weight , it often happens that we include in the menu seemingly healthy foods, which, however, can thwart the achievement of the desired goal. Here's what to look out for ...
Caesar salad
Since it is a salad, by default we decide that it is a useful and low-calorie dish. The truth is that in a small bowl of this salad can be found about 300 - 400 calories and 30 g of fat . This is due to the high content of dressing.
It is recommended when preparing this salad to use no more than one tablespoon of dressing and two with Parmesan.
Freshly embarrassed
This is especially true for non-home-made smoothies, as they may contain about 80 grams of sugar , 350 or more calories, little protein , and very often no front fruit. In the end, the smoothie may be no different from a milkshake.
Energy desserts
Many of them are enriched with ordinary desserts, which contain many calories (up to 500) and have a higher price. Their small amount usually leaves a feeling of hunger .
It is advisable to choose such energy desserts that contain no more than 200 calories or less, along with fiber and at least 5 g of protein . They provide energy even after sugar.
Low fat yogurt
This product is rich in protein and calcium . The problem is that many brands of yogurt have added sugar - 30 or more grams of fructose , sucrose or other sweeteners. We must follow the labels of the individual products.
