Nutritionists vied with each other: cook your own food, do not trust delivery and convenience foods. And takeaway food is generally evil, stuffed with salt, hidden sugars and fats, which do not bring anything good with them, except for the risk of hypertension. In addition, these are completely insidious calories that take in your clothes at night. But it also happens that we dig a hole for ourselves – we make mistakes at dinner that do not allow us to fit into a wonderful new swimsuit.
1. Too much salt
It’s very easy to sort out the amount of salt: just salt a salad that contains canned fish, add lightly salted cucumber to dinner, add shop sauce, eat an extra piece of cheese or sausage. Although no, if you are losing weight, you will not eat sausage.
In any case, salt is more serious than it seems. At a minimum, you can get swelling, which will manifest itself in the form of extra centimeters and kilos. As a maximum, addiction to salt develops, which is as difficult to get rid of as alcohol or drug addiction – this is proved by a study published in Oxford Journal. And this addiction, in turn, makes you eat more fatty foods. In this case, it will be very difficult to say goodbye to excess accumulations in the belly area.
2. Tomato paste from the store
Well, what’s wrong with that? Nothing if the pasta contains only tomatoes and a little salt. And if there is still starch, sugar and other ingredients that are completely unnecessary for real tomato paste, then such a product will simply add extra calories to your dish. And there is no taste, it will not add. Therefore, we read the label, this is important.
