Fast food:
Fast food combines fats, sugars, and chemical additives in large quantities. Fats take a long time to digest, causing bloating, while sugar goes directly to the intestines. Furthermore, the additives negatively impact the good bacteria in your gut, contributing to obesity. Opt for alternative snacks like fresh fruits or vegetables.
Mayonnaise:
Mayonnaise is 80% fat, and a tablespoon of this sauce contains approximately 100 calories. Replace it with vegetable purees or hummus for a healthier, lower-calorie alternative.
Fried foods:
Fried foods absorb a lot of unhealthy fats, which affects brain function by reducing mental clarity and making it difficult to be aware of how much food you’ve eaten. In addition, these foods take a long time to digest, thus slowing down your metabolism.
Ice cream: Ice cream is very sugary and often leads to addiction similar to that of drugs, according to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The more ice cream you eat, the more you crave, resulting in excessive calorie intake. If you can’t resist it, try making homemade ice cream from frozen bananas, which contains fewer than 100 calories per serving.
