French fries

Now, you must be thinking that why we included potatoes in the list since they are healthy. Well, for your information, potatoes are healthy, but french fries are not.

Once you start eating french fries, you keep eating them without realizing. Now you have to stop consuming it since you have already stored so many calories inside you. Potato chips consumption deposit the fat in your body. You start getting flabby arms and the love handles begin to appear and the term “lose weight” is out of sight.

Moral of the story: Do not consume french fries or potato chips since they are highly unhealthy. If you are a potato lover, concentrate on consuming boiled potatoes.

White Bread

So tempting! Isn’t it? We know that after eating white bread, you start considering that you will lose all the massive pounds you have gained in a year. White bread is highly unhealthy since it contains layers of sugar. A study has found that if you eat just two slices of fattening white bread, you will start your journey towards becoming obese.

People don’t think of the healthier options that are available in the market that is why they are deprived of it. You need to research a bit and choose the healthier options available to you. A healthier option is of brown bread which is rich in fiber and keeps your bowel movements normal.

Moral of the story: White bread is not a healthy option for you. It can increase your blood sugar level and gives you uninvited stomach discomforts. Go for a more robust alternative of brown bread.

Tempting candies

Oh, it’s so tiny! I won’t get extra pounds after eating this candy. And after saying that sentence, you grab one candy then you put your hands on the second one, oh, your hand doesn’t stop. Do you know the number of calories in that one small candy? Lots and lots of sugar are added to candy bars. What’s the point of consuming something that is rich in calories but doesn’t give you the needed nutrients?

Don’t welcome another typhoon of calories in the form of candies. Avoid considering that if something is smaller in size, it is low in calories. Having a bad craving for candy bars? Choose a healthy option of fruits. Nuts can give you the desired nutrients, glowing skin and make your hair healthier.

Moral of the story: Since candy bars contain lots and lots of calories and don’t fulfill your nutrients needs, say “BYE BYE” to them. Start altering your habits and always opt for the healthier option to lose weight.

Fruit Juices

So-called healthy fruit juices! You can find fruit juices everywhere, be it a local market or a state-of-the-art supermart. But yes, they have one thing in common, all of them stock fruit juices like it is something a person can’t live without. Little you are aware of the fact that all those fruits juices are processed and tons and tons of sugar are into it.

Sorry, but you are in for a good awakening that the processed juices contain more amount of sugar in comparison with soda. Please don’t get fooled by the false advertisement of 90% natural juice because it doesn’t contain it. Instead of consuming processed juices you have a healthier option in your reach. You can opt for a healthy fruit instead of welcoming tons of calories.

Moral of the story: Processed juices are quite rich in sugar and give you nothing but the stubborn fat. Since such liquids don’t have fiber, always consume natural fruits which have been gifted by the Mother Nature.
