I was recently asked a question about rice, weight loss and gain and I decided to shed more light on it to the
entire public. I found out that some of the best-tasting foods are actually
some of the worst in terms of fat and calories. But it can be hard to avoid
them especially at our homes or malls where nutrition information usually isn’t
available. So I decided to list a few meals to educate my lovely readers.
White Rice
I’m sure
eyes must be rolling now, this is by rating the most common and consumed type
of meal. Many of us tend to assume that rice is healthy but the nutritional
value of rice is actually dependent on the type of rice chosen. White rice helps your body to store excess
fat that the body does not require and make it harder to lose weight. Rice
has little nutritional value and it is hence advised to opt for brown rice if
you want to boost your overall health. Brown rice is full of fiber, vitamins
and other nutrients beneficial to the body. The fiber content in brown rice
helps you to feel full and satisfied longer thereby reducing your tendency of
eating much. The plant lignans in brown rice could also help in reducing the
risk of developing heart disease. Brown rice is classified as whole grain meal
which our body requires 50% of it every day.
White Bread
This might
shock you, but it’s a fact. It does not have any nutritional value. It contains
lots of sugar and doesn’t have the ability to keep you satisfied, so within a
few hours your appetite craves for a meal. Research
over a period of time has shown that white bread consumers are likely to gain
unwanted weight over a period of time. Nutritionally people who are willing
to slim down are advised to replace your white bread with whole grain or whole
wheat whenever possible, as whole wheat bread is good for your health. Diabetic
patients are hence are advised to keep off from white bread.
High Fructose Corn Syrup
This is a
common sweetener that is often found in popular sodas, baked goods, pasta
sauces and processed foods (for my friends who love junk meals). High Fructose
corn syrup can quickly cause you to gain extra weight and even stimulate an
increased craving for sugar or sugary foods. There are also justified concerns
that overeating sugary foods and food high in fructose corn may even increase
your risk of suffering from diabetes or developing other health problems. Due
to the fact that high fructose corn syrup may increase triglyceride levels, it could
also be linked to a higher likelihood of heart disease. Try to avoid any
processed sugars and opt for healthier dessert options such as fresh fruits,
water and berries. When it comes to finding alternatives to sodas that contain
high fructose corn syrup, you have a few different options.
Cream-based Salad Dressings
Weight loss
patients resolve to the consumption of salad as it is known to be nutritious
and are low in calories but it is advised not to believe that all salads are
healthy as they could turn the table around when it comes to weight reduction especially
when they are drenched in cream dressing. These types of dressings indeed add a
lot of flavor to salads make your meal enjoyable but it is crucial to remember
that they contain lots of fats and calories which could undermine your attempt
to shed excess weight.
Fried Foods
This is a
common tale among people who are willing to shed weight but people don’t know
the extent of how unhealthy it could be aside from increasing weight. Fried
meals are associated with higher cholesterol and high blood pressure both of
which diminishes your cardiovascular health and make you likely to suffer
chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart attack or failure, heart diseases
or strokes. Fried foods can also upset digestive system, leading to
uncomfortable acid reflux and potentially exacerbating the cramps or gas pains
associated with irritable bowel syndrome. If
you want to improve your health, avoid frying your meals, you could rather bake
or boil. It is often said that one French fry is worse for your health than
one cigarette.
