You don’t need to follow a fad diet to lose weight. However, to keep pounds off permanently, you should keep track of what you eat daily because losing weight is all a game of calories.
One pound of fat is equivalent to 3500 calories. Hence by keeping off 500 calories a day through diet modification and exercise, you can lose about one pound in a week.
There are three categories of the worst carbs that you must avoid, whether or not you are on a super low carb diet or not.
Fried foods- Fried foods are a terrible thing to put in your body. Fried animal protein is low-quality protein, such as chicken nuggets. You do not know what kind of chicken is being used. It is wrapped in either cornmeal or wheat of low quality. This adds to the amount of refined carbs, which is finally dipped into low-quality vegetable oils at high heat. Thus fried foods are calorie dense foods and very high in trans fats.
Sugary drinks and juices- Sugary drinks do not keep you satiated as foods do. They spike your blood sugar and insulin levels.
Refined grains- If you are on a weight loss journey, you should avoid processed food such as white bread or white rice because they spike your blood sugar levels and insulin.
