What Not To Eat While On A Low Calorie Diet Plan.

Diet commercials are always touting "Eat whatever you want and lose weight!" For most, though, that just doesn't happen.

A low calorie diet plan is essential for weight loss. That means you'll have to cut out or way back on some foods that you might have previously enjoyed. Yeah, it's a bummer, but what do you want more: High-fat foods or a great body?

Now is the time to change things up and start a low calorie diet plan. By know you should know to eat lean protein, green veggies and whole grains. But the list of what foods need to go is just as important, and it includes:

1) Margarine: This "food" shouldn't really be considered a food. It's fattening and has 100 calories in just one tablespoon.

In addition, it's high in trans fat, which is the worst substance you can put in your body. This substance doesn't have a place in your low calorie diet plan.

2) French fries: You eat them with every restaurant meal, and they come with an unhealthy serving of saturated fat, trans fats and way too much salt.

Instead of getting fries with your sandwich, ask for a side salad, bowl of fruit - ANYTHING other than French fries. (OK, don't take that as a reason to switch over to onion rings.)

3) Processed cheese: It might look (kind of) like cheese, it might have the word "cheese" on the package, but it's just not cheese. In fact, suppliers can't label it as cheese, and instead have to use a phrase such as "cheese product."

Stick to natural, nonfat cheese on your sandwich and leave this stuff behind.

4) Whole milk: There is actually a huge difference between skim milk (which has 86 calories and .4 grams of fat per glass) and whole milk (which has 160 calories and 9 grams of fat, saturated no less, per glass).

Milk is a good source of protein, but stick to skim. One percent can be consumed only occasionally.

5) Pizza: Everyone loves a good piece of pie.
Most people eat three or four slices, so multiply those numbers and your program is toast.

6) Alcohol: Some people eat well all week, then go out on Friday night and pound six or seven beers. Those beers have up to 1,000 calories when combined. That's just like drinking half a day's calories.

Alcohol has no nutritional value, and it actually causes most people to make poor eating decisions later in the night. Cheese sticks and a soda, anyone? Your low calorie diet plan isn't helped by this.

7) Soda: This is America's Achille's heel. The average American ingests nearly 56 gallons of soda per year.

With a can of Coca-Cola containing 153 calories and 40 grams of carbs from fructose and corn syrup, the overall amount of calories is staggering. It's not a great choice, but make it diet if you have to drink soda.

8) Peanut butter: It's not the actual peanut butter that's a problem. It's what's in commercial peanut butter - high-fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils - that's the problem.

Peanut butter only needs to have one ingredient: peanuts. Peanut butter just doesn't need corn syrup, sugar or any additional salt. Read the labels on all-natural peanut butter and find one with only one ingredient.

That's the best choice for your low calorie diet plan.
