6. You’re Adding Extra Calories to Healthy Foods
You can eat the healthiest, lowest calorie foods in the world and still fail to lose weight of you are preparing them improperly. If you decide to fry up some low calorie greens in bacon fat or even a healthy oil you are going to turn those healthy greens into a fatty, calorie-laden dish. A teaspoonful of oil or fat is a serving. Avoid deep frying completely, and limit other types of frying significantly. Use a spray oil or prepare foods without added oil. Bake, broil, steam, grill, or roast cooked foods.
Many people who are dieting fill up on salads, yet load them with greasy dressings and other calorie-laden toppings. Choose your salad ingredients carefully. Pay attention to information on the back of product labels, as many condiments and processed foods contain large amounts of oils or sugars.
