Avoid These 3 Foods And Lose Weight Naturally

There is a fundamental blueprint for how to lose weight. You have to eat the proper foods, not eat too much, and let your physical actions burn up the food it's been fed. But it's not always that simple when you're trying to lose weight.

It does not matter how hard you exercise if you are replacing burned calories with unhealthy foods, chemicals and extra fats. If you do eat this way it's not very likely that you will reach the weight loss goals that you want.

If you're trying to lose weight by not eating, it is not the way to lose weight successfully. If you try starving yourself, you'll only harm yourself in the long run. You have to eat and make the right food choices. Here are 3 foods types to avoid if you're trying to lose weight.

1. Foods From A Box, Can or Carton.

When you're trying to lose weight, stay away from processed foods that come in a box, can, bag or carton. They are often modified to extend shelf life leading to little or nutritional value and often the level of fats, sodium and sugars in these foods are extremely high. Just take a look at the back of the box. How many of the ingredients can you actually read? Aim to eat foods that are as natural as possible, as they allow your body to get more nutrients.

2. High Calorie Drinks.

Drinking excessive amounts of carbonated drinks is one of the biggest reasons for gaining weight today. The popular colas all contain large amounts of both sugar and calories. Watch out too for high-calorie sports drinks or fruit juices, which are often packed with sugar. 

Beware of drinks from the coffee shop. Drinks like lattes, americanos, cappuccinos and frappuchinos are extremely high calorie drinks. The best drink you can have when you're trying to lose weight is water. It has no preservatives, no sodium, and no calories and helps to fill you up so you won't feel too much of an urge to eat tempting foods.

3. Processed Meats.

Processed meats are another food not to eat every day. Processed meats are often made up of various body parts that couldn't be sold separately and all mixed with large amounts of fat, preservatives, chemicals and sodium. Examples include pastrami, salami, hot dogs and some sausages. Hamburgers and minced meats only count as processed meat if they have been preserved with salt or chemical additives. If you stick to lean, whole meats, you'll consume fewer calories and you'll be eating healthier overall as well.
