Along the same lines, cut out any beverage that contains aspartame (Nutra Sweet),
high fructose corn syrup, or refined sugar. Since you need to drink a lot of water in
order to lose weight, try water with a slice of lemon or lime in it. It can be very
refreshing and very satisfying!
Alcohol is a no-no in any weight loss plan. It’s OK to have a glass of wine with
dinner, just don’t drink the whole bottle. There’s no better way to pack on the
pounds than to drink excessive amounts of alcohol – even the ones that claim they
have fewer calories. Moderation is the key with alcoholic beverages!
Boxed Pre-Packaged Foods
In general, you should stay away from a lot of these products. If the ingredients are
not pronounceable, you should avoid them. In other words, anything with a lot of
chemicals on the ingredient list are not going to be good for your diet.
White rice, while very filling, contains starches that can inhibit your weight loss. Stick
to brown rice instead.
Pasta mixes are usually also not good because of the starches they contain. Stick to
whole grain pasta instead. They taste just as good and are much better for you!
Breads
For the same reasons as pasta and white rice, white breads should also be avoided.
Whole grain breads provide you with the carbohydrates you need and are less
processed than the white breads. Be sure the bread you choose is made with whole
wheat flour instead of just wheat flour. Believe me, it makes a difference.
If you love Mexican food, stick to whole wheat flour tortillas or corn tortillas when
you choose your burritos, enchiladas, or soft tacos.
