The foods you eat can have a major effect on your
weight. Some foods, like full-fat yogurt, coconut oil and eggs, help
with weight loss. Other foods, especially processed and refined
products, can make you gain weight. Here are some foods to avoid when
you’re trying to lose weight.

hand, whole, boiled potatoes are very healthy and help fill you up. |

on the planet.They are strongly associated with weight gain and can have
disastrous health effects when consumed in excess.If weight loss is your
goal, then giving up soda and similar drinks may have a big impact. |

sugar.White bread is made from very fine flour, and can spike your blood
sugar levels and lead to overeating. However, there are many other types
of bread you can eat. |

Most Fruit Juices

with whole fruit. Fruit juices are highly processed and loaded with
sugar.Fruit juice is high in calories and added sugar, but usually
contains no fiber. It is best to stick to whole fruit. |

refined flour and sometimes trans fat. These foods are high in calories
but not very filling.

Ice Cream
Ice cream is incredibly delicious, but very unhealthy. It is high in
calories, and most types are loaded with sugar. A small portion of ice
cream is fine every now and then, but the problem is that it’s very easy
to consume massive amounts in one sitting.

Pizza
Pizza is a very popular fast food. However, commercially made pizzas
also happen to be very unhealthy.They’re extremely high in calories and
often contain unhealthy ingredients like highly refined flour and
processed meat.A homemade pizza with healthier ingredients is a much
better option.

High-Calorie Coffee Drinks
Coffee contains several biologically active substances, most importantly
caffeine. These chemicals can boost your metabolism and increase fat
burning, at least in the short term. However, the negative effects of
adding unhealthy ingredients like artificial cream and sugar outweigh
these positive effects. |
