Top 10 Healthy Food That Will Make You Fat
1. Diet Soda
No soda of any kind is good for you, diet or not. Diet sodas create
more insulin in your body which means more sugar. Diet soda also
inhibits the hormone leptin which regulates your metabolism and
appetite so you want to make sure you order your meals with water!
That also helps you drink the correct amount of water per day.
2- Pretzels
Yes, pretzels. I know most people think that these are so much better
for you than potato chips but they are made with enriched white flour
which as I have warned you in the past is a big NO NO on the Belly
Flat diet.
Pretzels are also loaded with carbohydrates which as we all know we
need to avoid as much as possible. One of my office workers would
bring an entire bag for her afternoon snack. When I told her that she
was eating the equivalent to 24 slices of white bread, she was
devastated.
3- Fruit Juices
Having a refreshing glass of orange juice in the morning is a great
start to the day right? Actually you are probably starting your day out
horribly. Fruit juices have so much sugar in them and most of them
are not actually fruit juices. Some only contain 5% natural fruit juice.
Eat your fruits rather than drink the juice. In our Belly Flat Diet we
recommend at least two servings of citrus fruit a day. (Citrus fruits
contain a substance called D-Limonene which has been shown to
promote the detoxification of estrogen.)
4- Complete Salad Kits
Most of these kits seem great for those who are too busy to cut up all
the vegetables we like in a salad, however, most of the dressings can
add on hundreds of calories and more fat than you want in a day.
The light varieties are better.
5- Reduced-Fat Peanut Butter
Like a lot of the girls in the office, I also love my peanut butter. The
reduced-fat variety seems like a great idea but the fact that what they
remove is replaced with fillers and there is no calorie reduction with
the fillers. Also the fat that is removed is the kind that is actually good
for you. Yes, there is some good fat! If you just use a little less of the
regular kind you’ll be a lot better off.
6- Poultry Hot Dogs
You would think hot dogs made with turkey or chicken would be so
much better than the beef or pork dogs… WRONG! All hot dogs
include skin and fat so you are not receiving any benefit from eating
poultry dogs. If you are really looking for the better dog go for the low-
fat or fat-free dogs, these may be a better alternative for your
cookouts.
7- Cereal Bars
You can find a lot of cereal bars that are healthy, low-fat and are not
loaded with calories, but you have to look. Most of the cereal bars at
the grocery store are high in sugar and saturated fat. Make sure to
read the labels for low fat, sugar and calorie content before you start
your morning with an addition to your belly!
8- Frozen Yogurt
Most people hear the word yogurt and ask for seconds thinking that
since it is yogurt it has to be good for you… WRONG! Most frozen
yogurts have a lot of added sugar which means you're licking up
extra calories. If you look for the low-fat frozen yogurt and go
sparingly you can treat yourself every now and again.
9- Rice Cakes
So many people in my office say what a great filler-upper rice cakes
are. Since they are low in fat you would think this would be a great
thing to have. However, rice cakes can cause your blood sugar to
spike and that can end up having your body store unwanted fat by
slowing down the ability to burn it. Not only that but most people
choose the flavored rice cakes which are loaded with sodium.
10- Granola
All those wonderful healthy things added together have to be good
for you right? Well actually granola contains about 350 calories and
12 grams of fat per 3/4 cup. With all the sugar in it you can see how
fattening it really is. Nowadays you can get the new low-fat or low-
sugar granola that is not quite as bad to snack on.
No soda of any kind is good for you, diet or not. Diet sodas create
more insulin in your body which means more sugar. Diet soda also
inhibits the hormone leptin which regulates your metabolism and
appetite so you want to make sure you order your meals with water!
