Someone is so passionate about diets that they can determine the exact number of calories in any dish by eye. But not everyone has pumped their dietary skills so powerfully. Most, to be honest, heard the ringing, but do not know where it is. It happens that you try your best to make your menu exclusively from low-calorie foods, but for some reason the effect is not observed in any way — it does not lose any weight.

Why is this happening? There may be several reasons, but the most common is very simple — in fact, some so-called “low-calorie” foods are not at all as low-calorie as we would like. So, let’s begin.

Avocado
How many praises of the usefulness of avocados have been sung, it cannot be counted. It has saturated fats, and vitamins, and all sorts of super-healthy trace elements. And it also has kilocalories: there are more than 200 of them in 100 g. This means that you can and should eat avocados, but do not get carried away!

Fish, namely salmon
In the vast majority of diets, we read that you can eat it in the morning, afternoon, evening, almost as much as you like, because it is exceptionally suitable for dietary nutrition.
Meanwhile, salmon fillet can be more nutritious than meat: depending on the cooking method, the energy value of 100 g of salmon can vary from 160 to 250 kcal! White varieties of fish — here they are really dietary.

Yogurt
Even if it is fat-free, which the manufacturer usually informs about in large print, carefully look at the small letters where the composition and calorie content are indicated.
At 0% fat, yogurt can have 15 g of carbohydrates per 100 g — and this, by the way, is as much as 4 tablespoons of sugar. They don’t go well with weight loss, do they?

Pineapple
Over the past twenty years, only the laziest scammer has not created his own fat-burning drug based on this supposedly “fat-burning” fruit. But pineapple does not burn fat at all, it contributes to its rapid breakdown, helps to remove fats from the body and prevents the deposition of new ones. But! But the speed with which pineapple carbohydrates are absorbed by the body and increase blood sugar levels is simply prohibitive. And the use of foods with a high glycemic index, firstly, provokes a constant feeling of hunger, and secondly, it helps to convert sugar into fat!

Dried fruits
This, of course, is a great quick snack and a real salvation for those with a sweet tooth who, for the sake of their figure, decided to give up cakes, but it’s impossible to live without sweets. That is, you do not have to give up dried fruits when you are on a diet. You just need to remember that they are just a small snack, not food. Dried fruits are much more nutritious than fresh products, for example, 100 g of grapes is only 70 kcal, and there are 300 of them in raisins!

Black chocolate
It is less high-calorie than milk, and there are also significantly fewer carbohydrates in it, if not at all. But if you don’t get carried away with comparative characteristics, but just carefully study the label, you will find that 100 g of dark chocolate contains 740 kcal!
That is why chocolate is included in the list of emergency food products — it is very high in calories, takes up little space and is stored for a long time. In general, the myth that dark chocolate does not make you fat is just a myth. It is good and useful, but in reasonable quantities.
Actually, the rule “eat whatever your heart desires, but in reasonable quantities” is the healthiest and most effective of all diets in the world!
