We all know that eating healthy is the holy grail for weight loss - but what exactly are the foods that may cause weight gain in the first place? Today we’re looking at what foods cause belly fat and love handles (much to our dismay), and the five foods you should avoid during your weight loss journey.
1. Sugar-sweetened Beverages
First offender on the list of ‘foods’ that cause weight gain are sugar-loaded beverages, also linked to heart disease and diabetes. Fructose is to blame – this simple sugar overwhelms the liver, and the excess becomes fat. Plus, your brain doesn’t register calories from liquids the same way as solids - so consuming a caloric surplus is a likely culprit.
2. Fast Foods
Don’t we all love that weekend takeout? It’s quick and convenient but comes at a cost. Fast food is highly processed, loaded with calories, fat, sodium and added sugar; so are most foods that contribute to fat accumulation and weight gain as well as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
3. Baked goods
Bakery products are delicious, but packed with refined sugars, preservatives, and calories. Just one glazed doughnut is 300 calories!
By choosing nutritionally devoid indulgences over healthy alternatives, you’re depriving your body of the proper fuel it needs to function as well as the key nutrients that can help you reach your weight loss goals.
Speaking of not depriving yourself, to learn how to cut calories without feeling hungry watch our video through the link in the card above or description below!
4. Fried foods
As food fries it loses water, absorbs fat, and calories increase. The high fat content of fried food is slower to digest leading you to pack on the pounds. One Harvard study found those who eat fries regularly gain more than 3lbs every four years on average, so go easy on the fried stuff.
5. Processed meat
If you’re looking for foods that can help reduce weight, meat is good, right? Not if it’s processed! Sausages, hot dogs, and the like contain a ton of saturated fats, calories, sodium, and associated with a higher BMI according to a massive 2011 study of 50,000 people.
These are some of the worst offenders for weight gain, belly fat and love handles, so be sure to avoid them if you’re trying to lose weight yourself.
