1. Prepared cocktails and sweet drinks
Cocktails, i.e. yoghurt or milk mixed with fruit? Yes, if you make them yourself at home, but if you buy them in a restaurant, they often have added sugar to improve the taste. They can also be prepared on the basis of ice cream or heavy cream. Then they are much more caloric, but also tastier, thanks to the high fat content in them. Remember that energy is provided not only by what you eat, but also by what you drink. Therefore, avoid reaching for sweetened liquids and colorful drinks, including those for athletes. This is a large dose of calories, which you often do not pay attention to, and which reduce the daily supply.
1 cocktail (250 ml) of fondant and raspberries is even 540 kcal
2. Coffee drinks
Little black tea without sugar and without milk, basically does not provide energy. It is different if you order a coffee drink in a large mug in your favorite cafe with numerous sauces, cream and sugar. Such a drink can sometimes exceed your dinner in terms of energy. Unfortunately, the calories provided with it do not carry too much nutritional value. They run right into your hips.
1 large (600 ml) Mocha flavored coffee with whipped cream is about 580 kcal
3. Hot dogs and hamburgers
It’s no secret that fast food is not good for your body shape or health. We wrote about it, among others in ‘Fast Foods Kill 40% species of bacteria in the gut? ‘ So why are they so popular and why is their consumption still growing? Unfortunately, the taste seems to be winning in their case, which they owe, for example, to a large amount of fat (fat is the flavor carrier) or salt. Plus, you can get them from every corner and are relatively cheap. Therefore, returning from shopping, ‘feeling’ your stomach rumbling, you will reach for a hot dog from a booth and consume it on the run, instead of sitting at a milk bar and eating soup. However, if you care about your figure and health, you need to slow down and start thinking about what you put in your mouth.
1 hot dog (155 g) is about 440 kcal
4. Breakfast crisps
Chocolate balls, honey circles, cinnamon squares. It would seem that the same health, after all, they are enriched with vitamins and prepared from cereals. Unfortunately, this is not the case. These products contain a lot of sugar and refined carbohydrates. You can also find flavors, dyes, preservatives and hardened fat. Sometimes similar ingredients are, in a seemingly better alternative, ready-made muesli flakes. Therefore, it is best to prepare a mixture of cereals and dried fruit on your own.
1 portion (50 g) of cinnamon flakes is about 220 kcal, including 18 g of sugar (almost 4 teaspoons)
5. Chips and sticks
Crunch, snack, bite. Crunches, sticks or peanuts in flavored shells do not have any other task. Nobody even cares too much about their composition or calories. Unfortunately, these products are rich in fat, often hardened, which is a source of trans fatty acids. There are no pluses here. On top of that, by nibbling on these snacks you don’t control how much you eat. Try to switch to healthy alternatives, which we wrote about in ‘Something to crunch’.
1 packet (90 g) of crisps provides about 482 kcal
6. Prepared meals and sandwiches
While they can save you time in preparation, unfortunately they are high in added sugar, saturated and hydrogenated fats with little nutrients. You could say it’s empty calories. During weight loss, we want to provide as many nutrients as possible while reducing energy. The meals should therefore be of high nutritional density. Therefore, try to set aside some time for cooking. Healthy meals can be made quite quickly. You can find examples in our recipe database.

7. Cookies and buns
Unfortunately, sweets are a large amount of sugar and calories. Eating them is a simple way to gain weight. Therefore, during weight loss, there is no place for ice cream, muffins, cookies, buns, chocolate or candies. Whole grain cookies or muesli bars are also not a good choice. However, this does not mean that you have to give up the sweet taste. You can eat fruit-based dishes or prepare more dietary desserts from time to time. For examples, see ‘Chocolate Diet Recipes’.
1 bun (100 g) is even 340 kcal
8. Makaron carbonara
When losing weight, you do not have to give up bread and pasta, but you should pay attention to what you eat them with. A pasta dish can be dietary and healthy, but also high in fat and calories. Unfortunately, carbonara pasta is a perfect example of this. The sauce consists of fatty cream, bacon, egg yolks and cheese.
A portion (180 g) is approximately 330 kcal and 17 g of fat
9. French fries
In general, it is best to eliminate all fried foods from your diet while you are losing weight. You should not give up fat, but it should come from dairy products, cold cuts, meat, fish, butter, nuts and seeds, and good oils added to salads. Potatoes are a valuable product rich in potassium and vitamin C, but in the form of french fries they become a source of fat and acrolein. It is better to eat them from water for dinner or prepare rice, porridge or wholemeal pasta.
A portion (100 g) of French fries is 270 kcal
10. Sausages, sausages, pork neck
While on a diet you can reach for lean meats, sausages, frankfurters and fatty meats are eliminated. In these products, the amount of fat is large, and thus they are a caloric product. In their place, it is better to reach for poultry, veal, lean beef. If you like to grill pork neck, you can prepare vegetables, chicken fillet or fish on it.
2 thick sausages (120 g) is about 380 kcal and 38 g of fat
