Is it okay to eat low-calorie foods? Be careful, these 6 common weight loss foods make you hungrier the more you eat them

Lettuce salad, sugar-free green tea, agar-agar, sugar-free diet... Are you still eating these things to prevent weight gain? Put them all down? It turns out that many foods that are generally considered "good for weight loss" actually stimulate appetite, or it is not uncommon for people to overeat and gain more weight because they are too hungry. Now let’s take a look at the terrible traps hidden behind these “holy weight loss products”…

[Type 1: Skim yogurt]

The sweetness of skim yogurt is often artificial, which will stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, and if there is not enough food to digest, you will feel hungry.

Better choice: You can choose low-fat plain yogurt and mix it with fruits to increase satiety.

【Type 2／Large vegetable salad without dressing】

A typical lunch for dieters is often a salad with no dressing, but such a lunch is extremely effective in inducing appetite, and the low protein and low fat content can easily cause hunger.

Better choice: Add 80 to 160 grams of protein to your salad, such as lean beef, chicken or beans. In fact, if you choose foods with less fat, you may eat more.

[Type 3 / Chewing Gum]

People who advocate losing weight by chewing gum believe that chewing gum can prevent people from eating snacks. In fact, the sweet taste of chewing gum can make gastric juice move, and chewing can speed up the functioning of the digestive system and stimulate appetite.

Better choice: If you're just craving something and want to keep your mouth busy, unprocessed fresh vegetables are a safe choice.

[Type 4: Black coffee and sparkling water]

Caffeine and carbonated drinks may suppress your hunger for a short time, but after a while, hunger will return and make you want to eat.

Better choice: Hot drinks can slow down your appetite, so sometimes you can have a cup of decaffeinated herbal tea instead of coffee!

[Type 5 / Apple]

Apples are rich in many vitamins and dietary fiber, but eating an apple alone is not a nutritionally balanced snack. If you eat an apple alone in the afternoon, you will be particularly hungry before dinner.

A better choice: When eating an apple, you might as well eat 5 to 10 almonds or cheese sticks, so that you won’t wolf down the main meal.

[Type 6 / Fat-free cookies or other baked goods]

People who are concerned about their weight often unconsciously choose foods that are labeled "0 fat" because they naturally believe that such foods are more beneficial for dieting than ordinary foods. However, when manufacturers create zero-fat foods, they often add more sugar. If you don't believe it, check the nutrition facts on the back of the package and you'll find that light foods often contain more calories.

Better choice: It is recommended to take whole-wheat crackers or high-quality chocolate so as not to worry about stepping into the minefield of exceeding the calorie limit.
