Weight loss: Fattening food combinations you should avoid at all costs

  1. Rice and potato

Rice is a high source of carbohydrates, and consuming rice in larger quantities may lead to weight gain. Although rice is easily digestible, one needs to be careful about the quantity of it. Rice, along with potato, is not a healthy combination as both of them can be fattening. Potato is starch-based which, mixed with rice, can be responsible for excessive calorie gain. Individually, having them in small quantities is not harmful to the body.

  1. White bread and frozen yogurt

Often, in want of saving time, we grab a sandwich and frozen yogurt as a form of dessert. However, white bread has a high glycemic index which contributes to high blood sugar levels and is also not good if you want to lose weight. Go for multi-grain bread or brown bread, which are more nutritious. Also, frozen yogurts have high sugar content.

  1. Chicken and lentil

Sometimes too much protein can mess up your digestion system, which will lead you to unnecessary weight gain without your fault. So, if you want to consume protein-based foods like chicken and daal or lentil, have them in different meals. Try to avoid having them together, as it can make you feel bloated and lead to indigestion.

  1. Processed snacks with beverages

It is a common habit to have some kind of snack with tea or coffee. This combination can not only lead to acidity, but highly processed snacks like biscuits, cookies, and savories are high in sugar and preservatives, which are damaging to your body weight.

  1. Milk and banana

Milk and banana are two excellent foods that have amazing nutritional benefits. However, consuming them together not only kills their nutritious quotient but also makes you gain weight.
