If you want to lose a few pounds, you should keep your hands off some unhealthy foods. You can find out here which fattening agents can hinder you from your weight loss project.
1 / 10Ready-mixed breakfast cereals are consistently unhealthy and make you fat in the long run. This was the conclusion of the large cereal study of 2020. They often contain too many additives and rarely vitamins. If you want to lose weight, then it is better to do without it and start the day with a homemade muesli made from, for example, oatmeal, nuts, berries and yoghurt or milk. © Ajafoto/IMAGO
2/10ACE juices are also rather critical, as they have a very high sugar content. They can prevent weight loss and should therefore only ever be consumed in small quantities. The Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety even classifies them as superfluous. With a balanced and healthy diet, such vitamin-fortified drinks are not necessary. © BE&W/IMAGO
3 / 10Since white flour products contain a lot of carbohydrates and hardly any fiber, they are also considered to be rather unhealthy foods when consumed regularly. This is because the starch it contains is quickly broken down into sugar in the small intestine, which eventually quickly enters the blood and causes the blood sugar level to rise. The consequence of this can be food cravings, which in turn can prevent weight loss. Instead, it's better to reach for whole grains. They have a lot of nutrients and fiber and make you feel full for much longer. © NayalyH/IMAGO
4 / 10If you want to build muscle consciously, protein bars can help. Otherwise, however, you can do without them. Especially when it comes to losing weight, they can also be a hindrance due to their many artificial additives and sweeteners, which have been proven to promote obesity. © Samo Trebizan/IMAGO
5/10Popcorn is unhealthier than you might think. This is especially true of microwave popcorn because it contains the artificial butter flavor diacetyl. If the fumes of this chemical substance are inhaled regularly, the so-called popcorn lung can occur. These are scarring of the lung tissue. If the popcorn also has a high sugar content, it can become fattening. © Juan Alberto Ruiz/IMAGO
6 / 10Most vegetarian meat substitutes are highly processed foods with only a few healthy ingredients left in them. Instead, they often contain a lot of sugar and can thus slow down weight loss. It is therefore better to consume vegetarian sausage only rarely and instead rely on a diverse selection of vegetables. © Pond5 Images/IMAGO
7/10Light, Zero and Diet products may be low in calories, but they are unhealthy. Since sugar and thus the taste are missing in these drinks, for example, sweeteners are used. They are not harmful to health per se, but they are not beneficial to health either. These foods also help with weight loss only to a limited extent. A balanced and healthy diet as well as sufficient exercise are more important. © MPfoto71/IMAGO
8 / 10Instant vegetable broths usually contain few vegetables and many flavor enhancers such as glutamate. This is suspected of stimulating the appetite and promoting obesity. If you want to eat healthy and lose weight at the same time, it is best to cook your own broth. © Sign/IMAGO

9 / 10Starting the day with a chocolate spread is not a good idea for both those who want to lose weight and those who are health-conscious. For the most part, the sweet spread consists of sugar and palm oil. The former can prevent the pounds from falling off. In the case of the latter, it is suspected that it could be carcinogenic. © YAY Images/IMAGO
10 / 10Cured products contain nitrite curing salt. When eating cured meat, for example, the nitrite it contains is absorbed by the body and so-called nitrosamines may be formed, which have been proven to have a carcinogenic effect. If you want to eat healthy and lose weight, you should therefore avoid cured products. © Edwin Remsberg / VWPics/IMAGO
