Sometimes it happens that we keep on gaining weight though we are eating healthy (at least according to our thoughts).This is certainly a disturbing thought. It is frustrating when we feel that all our strict diet and work out is good for nothing.

In fact, we have some hidden fat traps in our everyday diet which do not let us shed extra pounds.

In this article, I am going to tell you about such hidden fat rich food items that don’t help you lose weight, but act otherwise. I hope this article will help you in losing fastes than ever before.

• Dried Fruit is on top of this list. Sometimes, they have oil added into the dried fruit in order to preserve it for longer time period. Also, you can eat more dried prunes and apricots than fresh ones. This is where it gets disastrous. Do not eat dried fruit more than you can eat fresh fruit.  Dried fruit is concentrated and full of calories, so beware!

• Coffee might be your favorite beverage in strict diet days, but its time to change your concepts as well as your habits. This adorable drink releases adrenaline and your body begins expecting food. Now, when you won’t eat anything, the blood sugar level will drop and you will feel starved. To avoid this situation, do not have coffee at anytime except with your breakfast snack.

• Nuts are much oved by majority of the people but most of these nuts have high count of calories and fats. Do not go for nuts which have more fats than others and choose almonds and Brazil nuts. Do not take these nuts in high amount.

• Yogurt is another much loved food item that is usually used in diet. It is important to note whether the one you are using is made up of full fat milk. If it is so, stop using it immediately as it has full fats of milk and is highly fattening. Go for fat and sugar free bio yogurt with not more than 3 percent fats. Also, it should contain the pro biotic gut friendly bacteria for better digestion.

Salads are undoubtedly a great option for on-diet (but busy) persons. Kindly, do not go for any pre-prepared salad that comes your way. You must avoid salads with fat filled dressings and starchy ingredients. Select those with juicy vegetables (lettuce, tomato, cucumber) and low fat and high protein toppings (fish, chicken).

Wit these tips, I hope you will be able to better understand your food requirements and will loose mush more pounds. Good luck to all of you!
