9 low-fat but super harmful foods

It has been several years since low-fat foods became fashionable, however, most believe that they are really products that will help them lose weight, while they ignore the nutritional information and other hidden factors within this type of food. First of all let me clarify some terminology for you and to make it easier to read this article: “Fat-free”: Foods that contain less than 0.5 g of fat per serving. “Low-fat”: Foods that contain 3g of fat or less per serving. “Reduced fat”: Foods that contain at least 25% less fat than regular versions. “Light”: Foods that have 50% less fat than regular versions. That is why in today’s article, I am going to give you a list of 9 low-fat foods that are very harmful to your body and your goal of losing weight. Low-fat foods that you should avoid Salad dressings In general, these types of dressings are usually sold in their original version and in their “light” or “0% fat” version. However, even though this saying that it does not contain any fat is probably true, companies are in trouble and need to replace the properties of fat with other components full of sodium, sugar and preservatives. There is a reason why normal dressings are high in fat, this can help your body absorb soluble fat and various vitamins such as A, D, E and K. However, I also do not recommend the daily use of this type of dressings, since they are still ‘factory’ foods, that is, processed. They have many preservatives among other things that will simply make your dressing last longer but not your body. Eating salads is the best thing you can do to compensate for the 2 ‘secondary’ meals of the day, I mean lunch and snack. In addition to containing several vitamins and minerals, vegetables and of course, also fruits, are full of benefits for your entire body and improve its functioning and even your mood. The natural dressings that I recommend using for your salads include olive oil, which has been highly related to the improvement of heart diseases. Another option could be avocado oil or putting a blended avocado directly on your salad. It is delicious and super nutritious. French fries For some time now, low-fat French fries have become quite fashionable. However, I do not recommend them since this type of food contains 18% more sodium than regular potatoes. Not to mention, it also has 13% more carbohydrates than regular potatoes, certainly high in fat. I cannot limit you from this food, since it is delicious and common in our country. However, sometimes gaining weight or damaging our body is due to abuse. If you are going to eat French fries, dare to eat the original and homemade ones, as well as not eating a large quantity and doing so sporadically. Ice Cream Low-fat ice cream is not what you expect or what you think. Even when you read the nutritional information and see that it has almost no fat, the damage it can cause you can be much more than triple what a normal ice cream would do. What I mean is that if you continue consuming low-fat ice cream, the only thing you are going to do is put your health at risk. And most likely increase in size and weight. If you want to continue enjoying delights similar to ice cream, a healthier option is yogu. rt greek. Which has much less fat and carbohydrates if you know how to choose it well in the supermarket. Another option is, as always, to continue consuming the most natural ice cream possible made with the necessary ingredients so you can enjoy a delicious dessert. Remember that the key is to moderate your consumption. If you are losing weight, a good idea would be to reward yourself with this delicious dessert for every few kilos you lose, for example. You don’t have to limit your food consumption and suffer while taking care of yourself. Having a healthier life is not impossible. I try to find the best options for you and see it as a reward and not as a habit, this can be of great help when you are carrying out an eating plan. Yogurt Ice Cream It seems that it makes a lot of sense to crave ice cream a lot, especially on a typical weekend when you go out with your family to a plaza, for example. And it makes a lot of sense in our minds to choose to go to the frozen yogurt store, instead of going to the regular ice cream store, thinking that you are taking care of your figure, your diet and your health. However, there really isn’t a big difference. And sometimes frozen yogurt, even though it has less fat, has the same amount of sugar. Or even more. The difference is not very big since normal ice cream is also prepared with certain fats, it contains around 21 g per serving. While frozen yogurt contains 24 g of sugar AND probably other harmful components and preservatives. This is because they are foods sold by franchises. Which means it probably contains several processed ingredients. If you are going to want ice cream, just dare to enjoy it and not abuse its consumption. Cookies Cookies are delicious and I really know few people who don’t worship them. However, the majority of people who consume cookies and who honestly do so very often, are surely overweight or obese or at least noted some slight weight gain. Or even some digestive problems, since the cookies are not made with as many nutritious or good ingredients. Most cookies sold and consumed are prepared with sugar and excessive carbohydrates as well as preservatives and other processed components. There’s nothing wrong with eating a cookie from time to time, don’t worry, you won’t gain weight because of it. However, I must repeat it once again: One of the keys to learning to take care of ourselves to improve our health is to moderate our consumption of junk food and foods with excessive ingredients that our body will not really need during the day. Peanut Butter And who doesn’t love peanut butter? It is very famous because we see it in all kinds of Hollywood movies. And then there is our reach in supermarkets. It has turned out to be a very healthy food which has great benefits for weight control. Appetite control. Regulate blood sugar. Helps maintain a healthy heart. It has high levels of protein. Contains good monosaturated fats. Contains oleic acids. In general, peanuts, peanut butter, and even peanut butter turn out to be very healthy foods. What I recommend is to eat them today instead of eating them in the morning. Since they are great sources of energy, you can also consume them before going to the gym or doing any physical activity or any task that will require physical and/or mental effort and energy. The problem with products e this type but reduced in fat, is that in order to give it a little flavor and imitate that of the original product, they add processed vegetable oils. And remember that any processed food is never good for your body or your organism. I have no greater recommendation for you than to stay away from low-fat products of this nature. Dressings for sandwiches Dressings for sandwiches work more or the same as ice cream, if you are going to consume them, just do it but very sporadically, since in fact they are products High in fat and My recommendation is that you make yours homemade. Products like low-fat mayonnaise, of course, contain less saturated fat and fewer calories, however, the amount of chemicals and sodium it contains is not worth it, it will not help you lose weight and will most likely harm your health. Generally these products are added with trans fats or polyunsaturated fats. It’s not up for discussion, trans fats are bad for your body, it’s that simple. No matter the brand, trans fats are directly associated with low-fat sandwich dressings. So my recommendation is simply that you do not consume them. Cereal and cereal bars Cereal bars and cereals have long been one of the most deceptive foods on the market, since they promise with constant advertising on television, radio, magazines and other media, to be the perfect snack to take care of your figure or even lose weight faster. Rule number 1: never trust ads or publicity. Dare to investigate for yourself, read the nutritional information of foods before buying them. Studies carried out in 2014 confirmed that the majority of cereals consumed for breakfast contain They contain at least 25% sugar equivalent to their weight. Just a quarter of a cup of low-fat gran can contain 14 g of sugar, which means that 29% of the total calories you consume in said bar will be carbohydrates. The reality of these bars is that they are packed with sugar. Low in fat, of course. However, they practically do not provide proteins or nutrients. Just one of the most popular low-fat cereal bars on the market contains just 1g of fiber, 2g of protein, and a whopping 13g of sugar per serving. If you start to think about the size of the bar and what the advertisements and advertising promise, it turns out to be a complete lie. Flavored coffee drinks Nowadays we no longer have any doubt about the benefits that coffee has on our body, however there are 2 important things to mention today: Excessive use or abuse of any food or drink can cause problems. And because coffee is a stimulant, you should take into account the time at which you are going to drink it. They may be “low fat” drinks, but how do you think they are going to compensate for the flavor so that it is still good? The answer is simple. Filling them with an average of 33g of sugar and only 2 grams of fat. However, even though the fat is low, the caloric levels are exaggerated for regular or daily consumption. If you like coffee a lot, drink it black and try to brush your teeth after doing so. My final recommendation is that in general try to stay away from low-fat or 0% fat products or any other type of legend that promises to have less fat. You must remember that all human beings need certain amounts of fat and certain foods. types of this to be able to lead a healthy life and make our body function optimally. In addition to the necessary consumption of other nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Remember that the thing here in order to really lose weight and lead a healthy life, you must change several habits and life routines. A good way to start is by increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes and natural or organic products. Never trust foods that have high levels of processed ingredients.
