No matter what diet you’re following, surely you all want to have a toned figure. However, there are still “culprits” in your daily meals that make weight control more difficult. Here are some of them.

Abusing condiments and sauces

Condiments and sauces are one of the reasons why you can’t lose weight because both contain a considerable amount of calories. These calories come from sugar, fat, and other additives. Using a lot of condiments with your meals or sauces for salads can lead to energy excess, resulting in silent weight gain.

Misunderstanding diet oils

Diet oils are usually produced in the form of spray to minimize the amount of oil used for each cooking session. However, diet oils contain very low calories, almost zero, but that’s when you spray once, within about 0.25 seconds. When you spray multiple times or hold the spray nozzle for longer than 1-2 seconds, it means that the calorie count also increases.

Don’t rely too much on these oils or any other “diet” food advertised, because there is no food that you can eat more and lose weight, unless you know how to calculate calories properly.

Eating and drinking at the same time

Drinking water every day helps limit cravings. Taking a small sip of water during meals also helps with digestion. But continuously eating and drinking at the same time is different. At this point, the food is not chewed well and flows down the stomach with water, making it work more, making you feel bloated. Drinking a lot of water during meals also makes you eat quickly and more because water creates a feeling of swallowing. The danger becomes even more serious if you drink carbonated water.

Eating fruits immediately after a meal

If you eat fruits right after a meal, the sugar in the fruits will not have time to be absorbed into the digestive system, ferment in the stomach, causing a feeling of fullness. Eating fruits right after a full meal can also lead to excess calories, making it difficult to control your waistline. If you want to eat fruits, eat them as a snack or 1-2 hours before or after a main meal to avoid excess energy. In addition, choose fruits rich in antioxidants such as orange, strawberry, papaya, apple…
