5 Foods to AVOID While you are LOSING WEIGHT



  Alcohol 

As alcoholic beverages contain a great deal of sugar, just one or two beers a day can cause an increase of weight. If you must have a drink, stick to lower calorie beers.



Fast food 

Fast food is notorious for stifling weight loss. Although portions are small, fast food burgers and fries have large amounts of fat and processed carbohydrates. If eating fast food is unavoidable, opt for a salad and only use half a packet of low fat dressing.

 Potato Chips

While fine in moderation, eating an excess of potato chips can halt weight loss. Potatoes are starchy carbohydrates that metabolize into sugars, and the chips are often fried in fat and coated in salt. High calorie, high fat foods like chips should be avoided until weight loss goals have been reached.

 Desserts

Passing on high sugar, high fat desserts like cookies and cakes are the best plan for those looking to lose weight.

  Processed Meats

Meats like bologna, hot dogs, sausages and hamburgers have too much residual and natural fat to allow weight loss. White meats like lean pork, chicken and fish should be substituted for fatty meats.

  1. I don't mind quitting any of the above but desserts! I cannot stay a day without sweets! A few extra pounds is OK with me as long as I am not told to say no to desserts ;) ;)

    A nice list here and a great help too! Thanks for sharing.
