White Bread
White bread is a staple in most pantries, but the truth is, it doesn’t have any nutritional value.
White bread contains a lot of sugar and doesn’t have the ability to keep you satisfied.
Even breads that claim to be wheat could contain more sugar than grain and should be avoided.
Substitute your white bread for whole grain or whole wheat bread when possible. You can also substitute bread on your sandwiches with lettuce leaves or whole grain tortillas.

Fried Foods
Most people know that fried foods are not healthy and should be avoided as much as possible.
The problem with fried foods is that
many people only associate them with fast food restaurants and do not
realize they also consume them at home.
Avoid frying any meal, consider baking or broiling
instead. Fried foods are not nutritious and can cause your blood
pressure and cholesterol levels to rise. They can also cause you to
pack on the pounds.
Cream-based Salad Dressings
Many people turn to salads when they are
dieting and trying to eat healthy. Salads can be very nutritious and
are often low in calories. Salads can become unhealthy when they are
covered in cream-based dressings.
These types of dressings contain a lot
of fat and calories. In fact, there can be more calories in your salad
dressing than in the rest of your entire salad.
Try oil-based salad dressings instead. Not only do they taste lighter, they have less calories and are better for you.
White Rice
Rice is a common ingredient to many
recipes and is a popular side dish to many meals. Most people assume
that rice is healthy, but the truth is, white rice can cause your body
to store fat when it doesn’t need to. It also has no nutritional value.
Brown rice is the best option when it
comes to rice because it is full of fiber, vitamins and nutrients. It
will also keep you satisfied longer so you are less likely to overeat.
High Fructose Corn Syrup
There is much debate about whether high
fructose corn syrup is good or bad. It can quickly cause you to gain
weight and even make you have cravings for more sugar and sugary foods.
Overeating sugary foods and foods that are high in fructose corn syrup
can even lead to diabetes and other health problems.
Avoid any processed sugars and opt for healthier dessert options such as fresh fruits and berries.
