Weight Loss and Diet Tips

The sugar and salt, two extremes in taste, if both ends are not limited to wreak havoc on the body and in any diet plan that we prepare to perform.

The sugar makes the energy up and down, unfortunately the reduction of the amount of sweets, cakes and desserts we eat is only part of the solution.

Often we are not even aware of the amount of sugar we consume every day, large amounts of sugar can be hidden in breads, soups, canned vegetables, sauces, marganinas, instant mashed potatoes, frozen foods, fast food, soy sauce and tomato sauces.

As the sugar is hidden in food labels:
Read food labels carefully, sugar is often disguised with names like:

* Cane sugar or maple syrup
* Corn sweetener corn syrup
* Honey or molasses
* Brown rice syrup
* Crystallized or evaporated cane juice
* Fruit juices such as apple or pear
* Maltodextrin or dextrin
* Dextrose, fructose, glucose, maltose or sucrose

-Avoid sugary drinks, each glass of juice or 250 cc. contains 10 teaspoons of sugar, replace with water with a splash of lemon juice or any fruit.

-Eat foods naturally sweet to satisfy your sweet tooth: fruit in its natural state.

SALT:
