Ahead are 5 foods that make weight loss more difficult: ⦿ Junk food In a recent interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Kiran Soni, Head of the Department of Nutrition and Health, Yatharth Hospital in Greater Noida, said she advises her patients to be ‘mindful of their eating habits and to steer clear of specific items that can derail their weight loss efforts’. She said, "Avoid eating chips, cookies, and fast food.
They're often high in unhealthy fats and added sugars, which ultimately increase weight." ⦿ Sugary drinks Sugary beverages, like soda, are high in calories and added sugar. "These liquid calories add up fast and don't satisfy hunger.
Even fruit juices can be problematic due to their high sugar content," Dr Kiran Soni said. ⦿ Fried foods "French fries, fried chicken, and other greasy favourites are best avoided. They're typically high in calories and unhealthy fats, and contribute to weight gain and other health issues," she added.
⦿ White bread and pasta These are refined and most often have a lot of added sugar. Dr Kiran Soni said, “These refined carbs can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar. Opt for whole grain alternatives instead for weight loss.
” ⦿ High-fat meats "Fatty cuts of red meat and and fried meats are high in saturated fats and calories, making weight loss more difficult," she added.
