Some foods
are wrongly considered health foods. Conversely, some have wrongly also a bad
name.
In short, do
not get fooled, learn how to avoid the traps at the risk of ruining your
efforts to lose weight or not to take ...
What are the fake food "health" best avoided?
Dressings
and sauces lighter
Even
lighter version and a vinaigrette sauce are oil-based preparations, butter or
cream. And who says lightened, said some of the basic ingredient (here fat) has
been replaced by another ingredient. The question is where, exactly in what
proportion, and it is good for health. And whether it is an additive, a
flavoring agent, a dye, etc.
our
advice
The
best is to make your own light vinaigrette recipe: lemon, yogurt ... and use it
sparingly.
For
the other big trap lightened is that we tend to eat more ...
Cereal bars
They
are made with refined grains so that they lose their nutritional value in terms
of complex carbohydrates and fiber. In addition, extremely rich in simple
sugars, they represent real calorie traps.
our
advice
For
an energy snack, better leverage dried fruits such as apricots, almonds,
walnuts (sugars, fiber and vitamins).
Cereal breakfast
As
with cereal bars, attention to too sweet and very refined grains which ultimately
are an empty calorie intake and consumption of which will result in a
mid-morning munchies.
our
advice
Unless
very well choose (not sweet, rich in fiber), prefer a traditional breakfast:
slices of bread with a little butter and jam, which can be completed with a
dairy and nuts.
rusks
Rusks
are not the equivalent of bread. They contain a lot of salt, a little sugar and
fat.
In
addition, the high-temperature manufacturing process modifies the glycemic
index.
our
advice
Simply
prefer bread and crackers and other book toasts troubleshooting since they have
a long shelf life.
The energy and energy drinks
The
so-called energy drinks rich in stimulants, are supposed to give a boost. As
for energy drinks, energy-rich, they are designed for athletes and they have no
interest outside the substantial physical effort.
our
advice
Avoid
these drinks. You do not need their exciting or their empty calories (unless
you are a sports competition). Only water is essential. Add a simple lemon
juice if you want to change its taste or vary the brands of mineral water, with
or without bubbles. And in case of pump stroke, eat a banana or drink an
espresso.
The sushi rolls
Victims
of their success, sushi or sashimi, now exist in multiple variants.
Result,
sushi pesto, truffle, ricotta, do not add more omega-3 fatty acids such good
provided by fatty fish, but essentially white rice with high glycemic index.
our
advice
Beware
derived revenues and prefer traditional versions with fish.
Aspartame and other sweeteners
They
are everywhere, they replace sugar and do not provide calories. Their disadvantage
is that they maintain demonstrated our taste for sweetness. More eating and
drinking sweet, the more you want.
our
advice
Even
in simpler form, limit your intake of sugary products.
Drink
water instead of soda, finish the meal with a piece of cheese, drink coffee or
tea without sugar, the point is often a matter of habit. Dare to take the
plunge and adopt!
Conversely, what foods deemed "anti-regime not that bad?
Starchy
Starches
(potatoes, pasta, rice ....) are not fattening foods. Satiating, energy sources
over the long term, high in fiber, they help digestion.
These
are healthy foods that have their place in a balanced diet. Even the famous
NNHP (National Nutrition Health Program) recommends eating consistently at every
meal.
Bread
In
reasonable quantities, bread has its place in a diet. The key is to limit
portions and take account of its caloric intake. The ideal is to limit the
benefit of white bread loaves made from less refined flours.
Ketchup
This
is the least caloric sauce! It is a little sweet, certainly, but much less than
mayonnaise or another sauce.
The
burger
To
fast food, this is not the burger is bad, but the accompaniment, mayonnaise,
fries and soda.
Steak,
bread, salad and tomato slices, you can even offer occasional hamburger
homemade, provided you spend fries and soda!
The
pizza
Similarly,
the pizza is not an anti-diet food. Bread dough, tomato sauce, ham and cheese
are a full meal.
What
is needed is limited in quantity (a medium sized pizza topped with moderation)
and accompanied by a green salad and yoghurt.
Sandwiches
It
is the same for sandwiches, provided to select (and ideally make them yourself)
with lots of vegetables and some sauce.
What conclusion to all this?
The
important thing is the variety.
Do
not eat a sandwich every day for lunch and pizza night. However, a homemade
hamburger, sandwich salad or pizza time to time, it is perfectly compatible
with a diet or a healthy diet. Remember, moderation and variety!
