Are Restaurants Destroying Your Weight Loss Efforts?
Dining out can singlehandedly make you gain a lot of weight. There are simply too many hidden calories in restaurant foods.
Even worse, many people are under the false assumption that the alleged healthy menu’s are absolutely fine.
So here is what to avoid when eating out:
1. Hot dogs and ribs: These fatty cuts of meat usually have a higher fat percentage in terms of calories. Even worse, the type of fat they have is saturated fat which is not good you. You see, saturated fat stiffens you arteries.
2. Anything that is fried: Frying something can make molecules very unstable. Even worse, the oil exposed to the high heat can become rancid, thus making it worse than trans fats. The bottom line is that you should stay away from anything that is deep fried.
3. Salad toppings: A salad can easily be turned into a caloric bomb if you don’t watch what you put on it. You see, cheeses, dressings and croutons can easily ramp up the caloric content of your salad, thus turning into a weight gain meal.
4. Bread: Eating a bunch of fast digesting carbs right before you start on your main course is a weight loss death sentence. In fact, it’s probably best to ask the waiter to not bring out the bread. This will avoid any temptation to eat it.
5. The whole meal: A single meal at a restaurant can contain an entire day’s worth of calories. Thus, there is no need to eat the whole meal in one sitting. In fact, you are best served asking for half of it to be put in a to go box.
6. Any type of liquid calories: Any time you drink calories, whether it be soda or juice, you are spiking your blood sugar and insulin. So do your best to stay away from any type of liquid calories and have water instead for the best results.
