Foods That Make You Fat

Calorie density

If you want to know about foods that make you fat you need to know about calorie density.

Calorie density means how many calories in how much food. Do you get a lot of food and little calories (good) or little food and a lot of calories (bad.)

Hidden calories

And you should know something about hidden calories. This is what you are eating, or drinking, that is spoiling all your hard work.

You've heard yourself say "I don't eat all that much." Right? So why are you overweight? You've got to get the hidden calories out of your diet.

What about fats?

Now, you want to drop the pounds. So what about eggs and butter? Full of fat, right? But they taste so good.

Do you substitute margarine and egg beaters for real eggs and butter? How do you choose which fats to include in your diet?

Foods that turn to fat easily

You get calories in all kinds of things. But there are sources of calories that are more likely to promote fat storage. You want to know what these are so you can plan a diet that won't make you gain weight.

Bad food combinations

What's even worse than one type of food that tends to cause weight gain? Well, that would be the deadly combination. These are foods that when eaten together are guaranteed to pack on the pounds.

Alcohol

While you are at it you have to take a look at what you are drinking. If you are drinking alcohol it is going to be hard for you to lose weight.

Diet soda

And then there's Coke, Sprite, Pepsi and all the rest. This is probably the biggest factor in the modern trend to obesity. You know you can't drink regular soda and hope to lose weight.

But what about diet soda? That's good on a diet, right? Maybe not. There is evidence that diet soda may be a major cause of weight gain.

It doesn't seem fair does it?

These are some foods that make you fat that you can add to your "bad food" list. By limiting the amounts you take in--or by getting rid of them entirely--you will have an easier time of getting to the right weight for you!
