7- Selecting low-fat or “diet” foods

[adinserter block=”2″]

Consuming low-fat foods or manufactured low-fat snacks may appear to be a smart idea, but they can actually make losing weight more difficult. For example, the fat removed from peanut butter is substituted with a lot of sugar. After all, it must still be edible to the consumer. Low-fat yogurt may appear to be a good option as well, but it has added sugar. Furthermore, low-fat foods will simply make you feel hungry, leading to repeated excursions to the fridge and kitchen cupboard for snacks. Choose low-fat but high-nutrient foods like fruits and vegetables, as well as a handful of nuts for a snack and extra virgin olive oil for cooking.
