Foods That Will Wreck Your Diet

There are a ton of foods out there that will make you so hungry that you’ll feel hollow inside. These foods can be detrimental to weight loss. They include any food that has been stripped of its fiber, such as white bread; food that turns to sugar quickly in the body, such as white potatoes; and food loaded with sugar, starch, and fat.

Some examples include:

White bread

White pasta

White potatoes

• Pastries

Doughnuts

Cookies

Cakes, pies, and other sugary baked goods

Candy and candy bars

Potato chips and other packaged and fried snacks

The more fiber is removed from your food, the harder and more rapidly it hits your bloodstream. The sugar and refined starch it contains cause your blood sugar to soar sky high.

In response to that sugar surge, your body churns out insulin–so much that it drives your blood sugar below where it was before you ate anything. When blood sugar is that low, you feel tired and hungry, and in need of another quick pickup–often in the form of something sweet.

These ups and downs, coupled with the wrong food choices, can wreak havoc on your attempts to manage your weight loss. When a food contains both fat and sugar, as many of the foods listed above do, it can be downright addictive since many of us crave the taste of fat and sugar.
