Those who follow the figure, it is useful to know a list of ten foods that increase hunger and therefore, can prevent the attainment of ideal weight.
1. Fresh juice
“Juice diets are popular for a few years, but they are hardly useful, says dietitian Janel Funk. The process of squeezing the juice deprives it of the fiber, and without it he becomes just a sweet drink.” It turns out that with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice we only calories and the blood sugar level immediately increases. Then produced by the body insulin lowers abnormally high levels of sugar. And all what we have left is tired and even more hungry. Replace a juicer to blender, and to the resulting mixture add a teaspoon of protein.
2. Low-fat yogurt
“Advertising often presents this yoghurt as a healthy and diet, however, try to be careful about the choice of snack,” warns nutritionist Kahlan Saint John. – A jar with a volume of 170 ml low-fat regular yogurt with fresh berries provides 150 calories, 6 g protein, 1.5 g fat and 25 g of sugar! High levels of carbohydrates and low fat levels will encourage you to look for food even after you ate the last spoonful of nonfat yogurt.”
Instead, choose regular Greek yogurt and add berries and nuts. In a standard serving of this delicacy twice the protein, and the supplements provide the desired level of fiber and antioxidants. But even this dish is not worth it to replace a full meal. “Yogurt doesn’t require chewing,” explains nutritionist Lisa Haim, and without it simple actions our body does not feel saturation”.
3. Egg white
Omelet of egg whites only extremely popular amongst dieters, however, nutritionists advise not to throw out the yolks. After protein omelet you very soon again feel hungry, ” says Cailin Saint John. And while egg protein is a wonderful source of protein actually, the main supply of minerals, healthy fats and vitamins is in the yolk. In this case, you can not worry: scrambled eggs with yolks will not spoil your figure.”
4. Low-fat salad dressing
When we ship to cart a bottle of sauce that says “0% fat”, it seems to us that we make correct and healthy choices. Nutritionists do not agree. “All these supposedly low-calorie dressings really are rife with sugar and salt, warns Lisa Haim. Is that after lunch you will continue to hurt the feeling of hunger.”
5. Products marked “helpful”
Today we know that foods that we think healthy, we eat in excess. The portions become bigger and filled more slowly. Not the best option for those who are trying to follow a diet.
6. Sugar
Sugar in all forms is addictive because it increases dopamine levels. “Given that we have historically needed the sugar for survival, and foods with a high amount of sugar is now always available, sugar addiction is becoming more common and dangerous,” says Julianna Hever, a registered dietitian and author of “Vegetarian diet”. Products with high sugar content provoke overeating and not bring neither good nor saturation.
Salvation in this situation – fresh fruit. “When we want a sweet, it’s easier to eat a candy bar or cookies, says dietitian. – Replace it with Apple or pear, in which in addition to sugar, there is fiber and vitamins.”
7. Muesli or granola bars
Classic candy bars that are sold in regular stores, often composed solely of sugar and carbohydrates, and the proteins they lack. So they only kindle the appetite without satisfying.
8. Ketchup
“This sauce as any product made with added high fructose corn syrup, the brain gives the command to continue to eat. It violates the metabolism and reduces the production of leptin, which is responsible for the feeling of satiety. As a result, the brain receives the signal that the body is satiated,” explains Lisa Haim.
9. Corn flakes
Almost all sugary cereals contain no fiber, no protein – those two components which normalize blood sugar levels and satisfy hunger in the morning. But if you add skim milk, then in the end do not even get necessary to saturate the fat. For the those cereals that contain at least 5 grams of fiber per serving. As for special dietary options, although they contain almost no sugar and calories, fiber and proteins are also virtually non-existent.
10. Fruit smoothies
Forget about them. “When in a smoothie no protein, no veg, just fructose,” explains Lisa Haim, and so the sugar level will rise and fall, after that you will fatigue and depression”. Low in calories this drink does not guarantee saturation.
