Are you sure that all vegetables help you lose weight? It turns out that some of them are quietly ruining your efforts, turning your waist into folds!
If you've been eating these foods for years, thinking they're safe, it's time to reconsider your diet - they could be the cause of stubborn belly fat.
Starchy vegetables become the main enemies of slimness.
They contain hidden sugars that dramatically raise blood glucose levels.
This triggers a ravenous appetite just an hour after eating, causing you to overeat and gain weight.
Corn, for example, is disguised as a harmless summer snack, but in reality it is a calorie bomb that slows down metabolism.
Peas and potatoes are not far behind: even when baked, they retain starch, which the body quickly converts into fat reserves.
But not all is lost! Replace traitors with vegetable allies.
Broccoli, tomatoes and carrots are your new friends. They contain almost no calories, but are rich in water and fiber, which gives you a feeling of satiety for a long time.
Beets, contrary to myths, can also be useful if consumed in moderation - their natural sugars are absorbed more slowly than starch from potatoes.
Remember: even healthy foods become enemies if eaten without control.
Combine the right vegetables with a smart diet - for example, eat them in the first half of the day so that the energy has time to be used up.
Your dream of being slim is closer than it seems... if you remove hidden saboteurs from your plate.
