Losing weight is a complex process, and everyone chooses their own path to achieving results. Many people, instead of strictly counting calories, refuse certain foods that slow down progress, writes IZ with reference to eatthis. Among these, pastries, sweets, carbonated drinks and even nuts are often mentioned. For example, in the morning, instead of croissants or Danish cookies, you should choose dishes rich in protein. This helps to avoid morning fatigue and provides the body with energy for the whole day.
Some foods, although considered useful, can hinder the achievement of fitness goals. Nuts and seeds are often a source of healthy fats, but their consumption in large quantities provokes an excess of calorie intake. Similarly, popular snacks from vending machines or sugar substitutes often only make things worse. Studies confirm that artificial sweeteners can increase appetite, creating the illusion of a healthy choice.
One of the most harmful habits is the consumption of refined carbohydrates. White bread and pasta contribute to a rapid increase in blood sugar levels, which provokes fatigue and the desire to snack again. This creates a vicious circle in which the body constantly needs energy, but does not receive the necessary nutrients.
An equally important problem are sugary drinks and coffee cocktails with added sugar. They not only add extra calories, but also cause sharp fluctuations in energy levels. Replacing such drinks with herbal teas or plain water with lemon helps maintain water balance and avoid sugar spikes.
Recall that we previously wrote that scientists have found a natural alternative to Ozempic for controlling blood sugar levels.
