More diet and weight loss tips

If you are attempting to lose weight but are not achieving the desired results, high-calorie foods such as fried meats, French fries, and sugary beverages may be obstructing your progress. Experts suggest avoiding these items.

In a recent interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr. Kiran Soni, Head of the Department of Nutrition and Health at Yatharth Hospital in Greater Noida, identified foods that complicate weight loss and pose other health risks. She emphasizes the importance of ensuring these foods are absent from your diet.

Dr. Soni advises her patients to be ‘mindful of their eating habits and to avoid specific items that can hinder their weight loss efforts.’ She states, “Steer clear of chips, cookies, and fast food. These items are often high in unhealthy fats and added sugars, which ultimately contribute to weight gain.”
