Top 5 #Foods Not to Eat to Lose #Weight: Whole Dairy Products: Whole-fat dairy products are some of the diet busters listed on NutritionMD.org, an online resource compiled by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. A cup of whole milk, for example, contains 5 g of saturated fat. Although whole-fat dairy products do contain nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, you can obtain these benefits without increasing your fat intake by choosing low- or non-fat products. Limit your intake yogurt, sour cream, cheese, ice cream and butter. Simple Carbohydrates: Low-carbohydrate diets are often used to lose weight in the short term. However, keep in mind that you dont have to avoid all carbohydrates when you are on a diet. A variety of healthy, low-calorie foods, like fruit, contain carbs and should not be avoided for weight loss. Sugary Beverages: Beverages are sometimes overlooked as a key to weight-loss success. However, according to Dr. Liwei Chen, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the School of Public Health at the LSU Health Science Center in New Orleans, limiting your sugary beverage intake may be even more important than solid foods in a weight-loss plan Condiments: Condiments are another sneaky source of calories. Mayonnaise, salad dressings, dips and butter are all high-calorie condiments that pack quite a punch when it comes to calories. One tablespoon of mayonnaise, for example, contains 100 calories. Ketchup, which is often lauded for its lycopene content, also has a high sugar content. For optimal weight loss, substitute low-calorie condiments like hummus, mustard, salsa and chutney for products that contain large amounts of fat and calories Fried Foods: Regardless of the type of oil used for frying, avoid fried foods if you want to lose weight. French fries, deep-fried foods, potato chips, onion rings, tempura and donuts are just a few of the common high-calorie, high-fat fried foods to avoid. If you have to eat fast food frequently, order the freshest items possible. As noted by the Weight-control Information Network, fast-food items like salads, grilled foods and tacos with fresh salsa are good substitutions for fried items.
