This time I’m not just going to tell you ten foods that you have to avoid because you think they are light, lean, made by invisible little hands of the food industries that are good, brave, they put the genuine stuff inside, the real ingredients; this time I’m not just telling you that you must avoid these foods because the body produces them and translates them into fat at the speed of your blink. This time I will list ten foods to avoid giving you healthier and more interesting alternatives. And I also reveal to you that if you chose my alternatives instead of these ten foods, you would lose weight more easily and perhaps, just maybe, you would not have all this need to diet.
Let’s see them together.

TEN FOODS YOU SHOULD AVOID IF YOU WANT TO LOSE AND WHAT TO CHOOSE FOR THEM

1. Gummy candies and candies and chewing gum: don’t tell me you don’t have mints and various candies in your bag. Well: if they don’t have sugar, they have various sweeteners that are bad for your health. Alternatively, vegetable and healthy fats that accelerate metabolism, such as almonds, pistachios, peanuts, or licorice (not for hypertensive people) or even oil seeds (pumpkin seeds).
2. Rice cakes, crackers, rusks, corn tortillas, corn and rice cakes, etc.: no. Never. Never again. They have a high glycemic index, albeit low in calories. Avoid them mercilessly to eat Wasa slices, wholemeal unleavened bread, Essene bread, wholemeal oat bread, wholemeal oat flakes for breakfast, rye bread instead.
3. Ketchup and red tomato sauces (for example the Mexican ones, the ones in beans with red sauce in cans, the ready-made sauces, etc.): I used them too once. Now no longer. Because they put sugar and in some cases starch.
4. White bread: the problem is not the glycemic index, the lack of fiber, the fact that it converts into fat. But in addition to all this, it is not satiated. And wholemeal bread is much tastier, as long as it is true wholemeal.
5. Chocolate : Generic or white milk or dark chocolate is a trap. Sugar, too much sugar, and no health benefits. Only dark, at least 70%.
6. Frozen yogurt . There is this frozen yogurt, no, which everyone seems to be a valid alternative to ice cream, and then you can have lunch. In reality it is full of sugar like ice cream, and in addition they put you in pieces often sweetened fruit, chocolate crispies, melted Nutella, grains… In short, a bomb.
7. Processed meats: cordon bleu, baby spinach, wurstel, cold cuts in trays, ready-made meatballs, chicken nuggets, even kebabs. Avoid all of this like the plague. Alternatively, cook your own burgers and meatballs starting from the chosen minced meat, and even better veal, chicken, and turkey (but also a beef steak every now and then).
8. Ready-made creams, fillings, puddings, canned desserts in the refrigerator department, ready-made cream, toppings for desserts. Sugar, sugar, sugar. Do everything at home, it will always be healthier than this stuff.
9. Frozen foods: frozen foods also have sugar and hydrogenated fats of various types (which I even found in vegetables). Even the minestrone is loaded with potatoes and beans. They are not for you. Cook larger portions and freeze them yourself, but don’t resort to this stuff for convenience.
10. Diet and fizzy drinks, fruit juices: they are terrible, and are responsible for an increase in metabolic syndrome even when they are light. The alternative is water, even in the form of tea and herbal teas.
