Weight Loss Depends on Eating Less or Burning More. So Called "Healtlhy" Foods Can Bring with them Hundreds of Extra Calories. See How

Almost everyone realizes that you gain tens of pounds eating fast foods, pizza, highcalorehealthyfoodspart1and a bag of chips.  However, a common problem occurs when weight loss slows down,  and you become bored and careless and begin choosing what appears to be  "healthy" and  low calorie  foods when they are not. Here is a chance to see  if you are making  this mistake.

Here is a group of foods that might make good choices until you see the calories and the fat. Each of the foods on the right are arranged by when you might eat them from breakfast thru dinner. Click over for a view of the calories.

The low fat muffin or 1/2 group of granola for breakfast might look like a good choice, but does low fat or "healthy" really mean low calories?

For lunch you will see a tuna fish sandwich which is a good choice except for the mayo, which can add hundreds of calories. Compare it to a ham and cheese sandwich which may be without the mayo 300 calories.

The pretzel is a real fool-er, lots of calories, all carbs and no nutrient value at all.

The little piece of white bread at an Italian restaurant is not so bad, until you smoother it in olive oil.

Almost all of us assumes Japanese food is low in calories and healthy. However, on you right is a fried, shrimp-tempura roll. What started out healthy was changed by the frying process.


The lesson for everyone, don't assume something is low in calories and fat until you have looked at it carefully. Often the extras or how it is prepared can add hundreds of calories.
