ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS
A study found that artificial sweeteners also add sugar-insulin as white carbs (pasta, white
bread, white rice, etc.) do. On the other hand, although diet soda does contain less sugar
but it does not mean to be healthy. It also makes you fat; a study has found this result.
According to a study of American Heart Foundation, sugar added in artificial sweeteners
may cause to experience faster weight gain, type-2 diabetes, heart disease and even stroke.
DRIED FRUITS
Studies have found that dried fruits have
8-10 times more calories than fresh fruits
because they are dehydrated and much
denser than fresh fruits. If you take one cup
grapefruit, for example, you are taking 60
calories. But when you consume one cup of
raisins, you are actually taking 460 calories!
You will experience almost the same story
about Dates or other dried fruits.
FATS AND VEGETABLE OIL
Fats and vegetable oils are also packed
up with calories. One tbsp of fats and oil
contain 120 calories. They can be even
more fattening when consumed as deep
fried and baked items.
CHEESE
Cheese, cheesecake, and cheese fries are
considered as the most fattening foods
in the world. Cheese contains serious
amount of fat which is very hard to digest.
Cheese is also suggested to the individuals
who want to gain weight immediately.
