One of the most, if not the most important aspects of losing weight is what you put in your mouth. This is one of the only things you have 100% control over. It is what will make you or break you, literally. These 5 foods are some of the most commonly eaten foods out there, so hopefully I can offer a helping hand.
1. Turkey burgers: Turkey is the leanest meat of them all, so it is also one of the best substitutions you can make. Trade in a turkey patty for your standard hamburger patty and save nearly 50 calories and 5 grams of fat.
2. Whole wheat bread: This one is almost always a no brainer, but is commonly overlooked due to sheer laziness, or a lack of attention. White, refined bread flour turns into sugar as soon as it enters the body. Spare yourself the sugar, and pack in some fiber instead.
3. Dark chocolate: Although dark chocolate does not appeal to everyone's taste buds, it is a simple swap that cuts out tons of refined sugar and fat, and it tastes great!
4. Ketchup: Believe it or not, ketchup is nearly pure, refined sugar. Slap on some old school tomatoes instead, and save your body up to 10 grams of sugar.
5. Soft Drinks: Soft drinks are a huge issue here in America. With many restaurants offering drinks packed with sugar and high fructose corn syrup, obesity is hard to avoid. A large drink at many fast food chains will throw nearly 100 grams of sugar into your daily consumption, which turns into fat.
