Don’t Be Duped! | 3 “Diet Foods” Guaranteed to Sabotage Your Health


Are you putting 100% into your diet program, but feel like you’re getting 0 results? 
Many people find themselves in this pickle. They work hard, hold on to their diet strategy like bulldog, but fail to see the transformation they wanted. Hopes were high, but the scale just isn’t going downward.
What gives?
Often, the problem is not effort or motivation. The issue is that they are incorporating certain foods in their diet plan that are actually not diet foods at all. The diet industry is big business, and unfortunately many companies market their products as healthy, even though they are counter-productive options.
What are these foods? Here are three problem foods you need to cut from your diet immediately.
Fruit Flavored Yogurts
Fruit flavored yogurts are a favorite among many dieters, but many fail to see them for what they are: pint-sized sugar bombs. Individual yogurt packs have gotten unhealthier and unhealthier, while their reputation as a go-to diet food has regrettably survived.
Next time you’re picking out your favorite yogurt, double check the sugar content. You might be surprised to find there are 15+ grams of sugar per serving.
Of course you can purchase the sugar-free varieties, but then you’ll be consuming unwanted artificial sweeteners, which can be just as bad for you.
Instead, opt for plain Greek yogurt. Flavor it yourself by adding a handful of fresh berries.
Fat-Free Products
Beware of any product marketed as ‘fat free’. These products proudly label themselves as fat-free, and that very well may be true.
But ask yourself, if the fat is removed, what has been added? Time and again, the fat content has been substituted with something just as undesirable.
Often that means heaps of sugar.
If you are trying to lose body fat, sugar is just as bad — if not worse — than fat is.
Protein Bars
The last problem food to be wary of is the protein bar, despite its prevalence in many diet programs and meal plans. These may seem like a great option because they contain protein,  but once again you have to look a little closer.
Check that sugar content. Most protein bars have upwards of 15 grams of sugar per bar. Some contain 30 and even 40 grams.
In actuality, these are glorified chocolate bars. While you can buy a few bars with very low sugar content (five grams or less per bar), these will require a little searching.
Sadly, many dieters are blissfully unaware of these three problem foods. Are any of them in your current diet?
If you want to learn the two must-eat foods that will catapult fat loss into high gear, make sure you check out The 2 Week Diet. Highly-readable and conveniently-packaged in PDF form, it has all the best advice you need to correct any lingering misinformation you’ve fallen prey to.

What Are the Biggest Reasons Diets Fail? | The 2 Week Diet

What Are the Biggest Reasons Diets Fail? | The 2 Week Diet  The average American dieter makes 4-6 dieting attempts per year. Clearly that means the first…and second…and third attempt weren’t successful. It’s a vicious circle of demotivation that leaves many feeling like they cannot succeed without superhuman tenacity.  Maybe you are ready to throw in the (oversized) towel on dieting for good. Don’t be. Take a minute to look at the four reasons why most diets fail, and then find a diet plan that bypasses these pitfalls. Soon you will find yourself on track to optimal success. Let’s look at the four key factors. Unrealistic Calorie Intakes The “starvation mode” method only sets you up to fail. By consuming so little food, your body literally starts shutting down to conserve fuel. When this happens, you are on a one-way path to a fat loss plateau. Yes, you should lower calorie intake to see fat loss results, but you need to do it in a way that maintains your “metaboli

Building A Righteous Bod | 5 Commandments Of Smart Dieting To see the best results from any diet plan, you’ve got to know the “Diet Commandments”. These guidelines are essential for superior results. They will take you to the Promised Land, flowing with good health and energy. Sadly, many dieters miss out on one or more of these rules, and it costs them their success. Thou Shall Eat More Protein Of all the foods you might eat while on a fat loss diet, protein is probably the most important.

Aim to consume some in every meal and snack. For some unexpected sources of protein, consider quinoa, bulgur, avocado, and whole wheat bagels. Thou Shall Eat Regularly You may have heard that metabolism increases the more often you eat. That’s somewhat misleading. Actually, the boost you ge
