OBESE-FOOD YOU SHOULD STOP EATING IN EXCESS

4 common foods listed above are only a few of the many foods that cause obesity, so it’s wise to carefully consider what you purchase the next time you buy groceries

when people think of the word “obese,” the number one country that comes to mind is the US. Widely reported statistics show that at least 33% of Americans are obese.

Obesity is has a lot of disadvantages which we need to take into cognizance. With the way that common foods are processed and marketed, the world could soon be filled with people suffering from unhealthy weight.

Sugar
Multiple studies cite sugar consumption as the number one cause of unhealthy weight gain. Sugar is a staple ingredient in most processed foods, which means you’re often consuming more than your recommended share but you may not be aware of it. Sugar-rich foods contain many empty calories, and many of the most readily accessible (and cheap) food items in the grocery store have a large serving of sugar. Solution: Avoid items that are heavy on sugar. Most people are getting too much and there’s every reason to stop adding it to foods that you eat every day.

White Bread
White bread is a staple food for many. It can be made cheaply and is filling, but it has a high number of calories in relation to the nutrients it contains.
There are few nutritional benefits from eating white bread, and at 80 calories per slice, it’s a bad deal for maintaining a healthy weight.
Solution: If you can’t resist eating bread, try whole-grain breads with few ingredients. Not only will this bread be devoid of most additives, but you’ll also be getting more nutrients and fiber.

Margarine
Margarine is made with hydrogenated fat, which is highly toxic and is associated with heart disease.
On a 100-gram base, margarine has around 15g of trans-fat, while butter only has about 3g, which effectively makes margarine more dangerous than butter, health-wise. Solution: Stick to butter.
Butter, especially grass-fed butter, has a lot more to give you than margarine, and they are
similar when it comes to calories.

Potato Chips
Potato chips are highly popular for their taste, variety, and their portability as a snack while on the go.
Potato chips are also infamous for causing weight gain. Most people assume that eating potato chips will give them the same nutritional benefits of eating potatoes, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth.
The the only thing potato chips (and other ‘junk foods’) have done to the world is make people aware of the healthier and more natural alternatives around them – a.k.a. real, whole foods.
Control- Cultivate the habit of eating real potatoes instead, or if you really want chips, you can bake your own or cut them in thin slices and fry them. At least then you will know exactly what’s in your food (i.e., no preservatives).
