If you want to lose a few kilos, you should stay away from some unhealthy foods.
Find out here which fattening foods can prevent you from losing weight.
1 / 10Ready-mixed breakfast cereals are consistently unhealthy and make you fat in the long run.
This is the result of the large cereal study from 2020. They often contain too many additives and rarely vitamins.
If you want to lose weight, then it's better to avoid it and start the day with a homemade muesli made from, for example, oatmeal, nuts, berries and yoghurt or milk.

2 / 10ACE juices should also be viewed rather critically because they have a very high sugar content.
They can prevent weight loss and should therefore only be consumed in small quantities.
The Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety even classifies them as unnecessary.
If you eat a balanced and healthy diet, such vitamin-enriched drinks are not necessary.

3 / 10Since white flour products contain a lot of carbohydrates and hardly any fiber, they are also considered to be unhealthy foods when consumed regularly.
The starch it contains is quickly broken down into sugar in the small intestine, which then quickly enters the blood and causes blood sugar levels to rise.
The result of this can be cravings, which in turn can prevent you from losing weight.
Instead, it's better to choose whole grain products.
They have a lot of nutrients and fiber and keep you full for much longer.

4 / 10If you want to consciously build muscle, protein bars can help you do so.
Otherwise you can do without them.
They can also be a hindrance, especially when it comes to losing weight, due to their many artificial additives and sweeteners, which have been proven to promote obesity.

5 / 10Popcorn is unhealthier than you might think.
This is especially true of microwave popcorn because it contains the artificial butter flavoring diacetyl.
If the vapors of this chemical substance are inhaled regularly, so-called popcorn lung can occur.
This is scarring of the lung tissue.
If the popcorn also has a high sugar content, it can become fattening.

6 / 10Most vegetarian meat substitute products are highly processed foods that only contain a few healthy ingredients.
Instead, they often contain a lot of sugar and can therefore slow down weight loss.
It is therefore better to rarely eat vegetarian sausage and instead rely on a diverse selection of vegetables.

7 / 10Light, zero and diet products contain few calories, but they are unhealthy.
Since sugar and thus the taste are missing in these drinks, for example, sweeteners are used to help.
They are not harmful to health per se, but they are not beneficial for health either.
These foods also only help to a limited extent when it comes to losing weight.
A balanced and healthy diet and sufficient exercise are more important.

8 / 10Instant vegetable broths usually contain few vegetables and a lot of flavor enhancers such as glutamate.
This is suspected of stimulating appetite and promoting obesity.
If you want to eat healthily and lose weight at the same time, it's best to make your own broth.

9 / 10Starting the day with a chocolate spread is not a good idea for anyone who wants to lose weight or for health-conscious people.
The sweet spread consists mostly of sugar and palm oil.
The former can prevent the pounds from falling off.
The latter is suspected to be carcinogenic.

10 / 10Cured products contain nitrite curing salt.
When you eat cured meat, for example, the nitrite it contains is absorbed by the body and under certain circumstances so-called nitrosamines are formed, which are proven to have a carcinogenic effect.
If you want to eat healthily and lose weight, you should avoid salted products.
