Skip these 8 products if you want a beautiful waist
To get in shape and go on vacation, it is not enough to increase physical activity. Because there are insidious foods that contribute to excess belly fat. And if you want to show off your flawless waist on the beach, it is better to exclude them from the diet, or at least limit their use.
If you are on a low-carb diet, you may have a completely normal desire to please your body a little with foods rich in proteins. However, you need to choose them very carefully so that it does not turn sideways to you, namely a couple of extra pounds on your stomach. Give preference to proteins found in fish, lean meats such as chicken and turkey. And it’s better not to succumb to temptation and refrain from eating fatty red meat – lamb, pork and beef.
Sugar is not for nothing called one of the main enemies of mankind, because in addition to all different harmful properties, it can become one of the causes of excess weight. Of course, it is very difficult to completely give up the pleasure of treating yourself to sweets. But you need to be sure to monitor how much sugar you consume daily. And be careful, because the “enemy” sometimes lies in wait for you in products that you do not take into account: yoghurts, juices, coffee.
Nutritionists confirm that alcoholic beverages, such as red wine, have some beneficial properties. However, the calories in alcohol can cause excess belly fat to grow. Therefore, you need to use it in moderation.
Surely you are well aware that food that has undergone long processing and packed in airtight bags is harmful to our body due to the high content of sugar and sodium in it. And that’s not all: such foods often contain trans fats, which, on the one hand, prolong the life of the product, and on the other hand, cause heartburn and inevitably lead to excess weight.
To stay in good shape, it is not at all necessary to leave only low-carbohydrate foods in the diet, the main thing is to choose the right carbohydrates. Foods that contain refined carbohydrates are low in nutritional value, low in fiber, and eating them can be detrimental to your figure. Nutritionists advise taking a closer look at whole grains, which are high in fiber: they leave you feeling full and have fat-burning properties.
Love for cheese unites many women! However, we must not forget that the abundance of saturated fats in cheese products can affect where we least want – the beauty of our abs. But, since for some, life without cheese is not life, it can be consumed in moderation or replaced with foods containing healthy fats – salmon, salmon, butter, walnuts.
7. Milk and dairy products
It doesn’t matter if you were lactose intolerant as a child or if you drank milk without restriction, as you get older, many people have difficulty digesting dairy products. This can lead to serious digestive problems, bloating and stomach upset. What’s more, due to its high saturated fat content, excessive consumption of dairy products can also be unpleasant for your waistline.
8. Fruit juices in packaging
If you think that packaged juice can be useful, then you are deeply mistaken. The fact is that this drink is highly processed, and besides, a huge amount of sugar is added to it. Due to the fact that fruit juice does not contain fiber, then from a glass of juice you will not be able to saturate your body, but from one orange completely. Therefore, instead of drinking juices, it is best to eat the whole fruit – this is both healthier and less sugar in it.
