I eat little, but I don't lose weight!
Table of Contents
1. Nuts and other edible mushrooms
The belief that if something is healthy, it doesn't contribute to weight gain has been eroded.. whereas nuts, although they provide valuable unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins, are high in calories.. in 100 grams they provide from 579 kcal (almonds) to 659 Kcal (Brazilian nuts).. so a handful of nuts will provide 200 kcal! If the daily deficit is just that, the body weight won't change.2. Fruit and vegetables
The portions set by the person on the diet are often too small and there is hunger. Some people happen to reach for an apple, strawberries, a few mandarins. They are healthy, they have vitamins, and they certainly won't hurt. But it should be emphasized that fruit, despite its richness in vitamins and minerals and antioxidants, still carries a certain supply of energy, which at the end of the day adds up to the calories of the rest of the meals.3. Juice and beverages
Liquids are very often not considered a meal and are therefore overlooked when listing products consumed during the day. This is a trap because juices do not contain pulp or starch, which mostly contain phytocompounds and dietary fiber. They are therefore low in saturated fat and have a lower glycemic index than the fruit from which they are prepared. It is very easy to drink large amounts of them, especially if you consume juices several times a day.4. Measurement of the eye
Many people often don't want to measure every ingredient in their cooking weight. They think that the difference will be small. Meanwhile, for fatty foods, such as butter (both classic and walnut), nuts and peas, oils, olives, avocados, dried fruits, fatty meats (e.g., salmon, pork) or fatty cheeses (ricotta, mozzarella, camembert, gouda, gorgonzola), each will matter.5. Eating meals in a hurry
When you eat a meal, you should concentrate solely on it.. eating with a film or standing up makes us feel unsatisfied.. it's worth spending 10 minutes to eat in peace.. it will prevent you from taking in extra calories.6. Reaching out to households
The child hasn't eaten the whole portion of the meal, so in order not to waste food, the parent often eats the leftovers -- they don't include it in their daily energy intake, because how do you count half a slice of bread with butter or a few tablespoons of soup? Maybe the portions are too big for the child, so next time you should cut them down a little bit.7. Eliminating potatoes and baked goods from the diet
It's often said that on a reduction diet, you should eliminate potatoes and baking soda. But potato is less calorific (in 100 grams) than cassava or rice! Their bad reputation is probably due to the fact that they're often eaten with fatty sauces or meats. If someone excludes bread from the menu and doesn't replace it with anything else, they just take in fewer calories than before. That's why such a diet can be effective. But if instead of baking, we eat something low-fat, which causes a significantly increased risk of eating rice, and thus the diet may not be beneficial.
