Why am I not losing weight?

You propose to make a dietary plan that will help you lose weight and see progress week after week. You choose the equivalence tables well but there is something mysterious that does not let you see obvious results, and what is worse, since you started that diet you are gaining more kilos. Remember that all those processed foods that you find in the supermarket and their label says in bright, big letters: “Low in fat”, “Sugar free” are only marketing traps to make you fall into an abyss with no return. You find all kinds of products such as:

• Ice cream
• Cookies
• Lasagna
• Sandwiches stuffed with “Light” cheese
• Treats in general
• Soft drinks.
• Extra butter “Light” popcorn Over the years and through disastrous experiences, I have begun to understand that all this food, instead of helping you meet your goals or maintain your ideal weight, is a trap for the senses. The market is behind it! —“Never trust those shiny labels that say:* low in calories…** if it’s chantilly cream.—Wake up! This is all a hoax.”* Among the foods that we discovered that represent a plot against your goals in terms of size and weight reduction are:

Smoothies

If they are not natural, do not buy them. The reality is that packaged shakes will always contain preservatives to preserve the bright color of their content, in addition to xanthan gum, a polysaccharide that is very difficult to process. Choose smoothies made at home with fresh products, anything with peel will prove to be beneficial.

Dressings

Excellent! You ordered a salad in an organic restaurant, it contains all the vegetables fresh to your whim, and to dress it they bring you a whitish and creamy dressing. Must you be ready to ruin everything? The best thing to dress your salads is extra oil and apple cider vinegar. Don’t get carried away by the presentations on the supermarket shelves.

Yogurt

Be careful to choose those that contain the least amount of sugar, the flavor can be a trap when it comes to choosing a good yogurt. It is best to make your own yogurt with live lactic cultures. Don’t be fooled by marketing and check the ingredients before consuming them, you will notice a big difference when you consume fresh foods, without preservatives and low in calories.
