Finding the right blend of what to and what not to eat when
trying to lose weight is like finding a way out of a maze - it doesn't
come with a direct answer.
A host of food manufacturers label their foods as healthy for dieters. But after careful analysis, it has been found that the opposite is often the case.
In your quest to achieve permanent weight loss,it is important to learn ways to differentiate between diet-friendly foods and what not to eat when trying to lose weight as this is the beginning of healthy weight loss in the long run.
In that light, common foods termed as healthy but fall under what not to eat when trying to lose weight are...
1) Energy And Sports Drinks: Sometimes, it is seen as common sense to end each workout with a bottle of sports drink. Sports drinks are portrayed to replace lost electrolytes - sodium and magnesium - after each workout.
Except you're a professional athlete that burns extraordinary calories during each workout (which you are not), sports and energy drinks are under what not to eat when trying to lose weight. They are not only packed with sugar but also have lots of calories.
Instead, rehydrate yourself with plenty of water and get your minerals and vitamins from vegetables and
fruits.
2) Low-Fat Cookies: You've heard a countless times why you need low-fat cookies to lose weight because - just like the name suggests - they are low in fat.
But wait for this: they are loaded with sugar to make up for the low-fat.
Here is the drill: once you consume these low-fat, sugar-laden diets, your blood sugar level rises and initiates the release of insulin. This in turn tells the body to convert the excess sugar to fat.
The implication of this is that your body continues to store fat, even if - to you - you're consuming low-fat cookies. The high sugar content that have makes them what not to eat when trying to lose weight.
Also, because it is termed low-fat, the probability to overindulge is very much high. So, why not try to treat yourself with small portions of the full version once in a while? It won't hurt your weight in the long run.
3) Beer And Alcoholic Beverages: This doesn't need any introduction; you know alcohol lures you into mindless irrepressible indulgence. You know one bottle is not enough, you go for many. This is sad because one bottle of alcohol contains as much as 150 calories.
Beer and alcoholic beverages should be on the list of what not to eat when trying to lose weight, but if you find it difficult to stop, a bottle a week should be enough.
4) Pasta and Bread: White pasta and bread both contains white flour which elevates your blood sugar. You know what elevated blood sugar does to you: it triggers the release of insulin which in turn converts the food into fat.

Instead of white pastas and bread, go for whole-wheat and whole-grain pastas and cereals - they contain high level of fiber which will make you satiated for longer periods of time.
