Eating Fattening Foods Is Not Healthy Dieting
Eating fattening foods is poor daily nutrition whether dieting or not.
What foods are you eating? Eating high fattening foods (even only once a day) can destroy any weight loss that may have occurred during your low fat meals. Fast foods, fried foods, foods and sodas high in sugar are detrimental to weight loss- Avoid them!
Even if you only eat high fattening kinds of foods once a day, they can really hinder dieting and weight loss efforts. Try to eat well-balanced meals with protein, carbohydrates and a small amount of fats.
- Protein: a chicken breast or fillet of fish
- Carbohydrates/Fat: a small salad with vinegar and olive oil (the oil will be your fat for the meal)
- Carbohydrates: a small baked potato or a serving of rice (either should be plain- no butter!)
Meal Replacement Powders (MRP) such as Met-Rx, MyoPlex, Atkins Shakes, Balance 40-30-30, Ultramet or Complete Protein Diet are excellent fast meals, or snacks, that are effective when added to your eating plan. MRP’s are an excellent way to get a high protein, low calorie meal into your diet once or twice a day. This will keep you from eating fattening foods that hinder dieting and weight loss.
NOTE: These products yield many healthy nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
I eat low fat foods at the restaurants I visit. Why is this bad? An example of how normal food is bad, bad, bad!
You proceed to your favorite restaurant for: a salad with dressing, no fat pasta with sauce, a cola, and some bread! First, the dressing from the salad is usually 100% fat so there is 15 grams of fat. Second, the pasta is easily stored as fat because it is a starchy carbohydrate. (Starchy carbohydrates are easily stored as fat unless you are on a serious exercise program). Should we mention the sauce that was on the pasta (mostly fat as well- lets store that on the hips!)? The bread well, you guessed it, high-glycemic foods such as this are hard to burn off too! That cola you drank (depending on the size) had anywhere from 40 grams to 100 grams of sugar (which almost always turns to fat if not burned off with exercise). Did you have refills?
CONCLUSION: You can see how what most people view as eating low fat, can be detrimental to healthy dieting!
Are you still eating fattening foods? Whether you are concerned about weight loss or healthy daily dieting, you should try to stop eating fattening foods.
