The warm weather seems to be here to stay…finally. Tis the season to wear less bulky clothing…skirts, dresses, and shorts. It’s also about the time when people, mostly women, start freaking out because it is almost bathing suit season. In order to keep yourself from gaining any more weight, you have to be extra careful about what you are consuming.
WebMD, one of the most popular go-to websites for health topics, recently listed the top 10 most fattening food of the spring and summertime. Outdoor lounging and barbeques inevitably have food at them, and you must acquire self control for these situations.
Here is the list of the top 10 most fattening foods of the spring.
- Ice cream- Try a healthier alternative, like frozen yogurt.
- Hot dogs- Try to stick with the all beef hot dogs, if you need to have one.
- Chocolates- Hey, I think this is a year round fave-especially at holidays.
- Brunch- It is better to eat three small/medium sized meals than eat one massive mid-day brunch and dinner.
- Topping, dressings and sauces
- Seasonal beverages- Outdoor BBQs may up the ante for sugary drinks and beers.
- Passover desserts
- Salads- I know what you’re thinking…”Hey, those are supposed to be healthy!” Yes, but only if you use low fat, non-creamy dresssing. My personal favorite is low-fat Italian. And cut back on the cheese.
- Grilled foods- Ahh…cheeseburgers.
- Coconut
