Honestly, You can eat anything you want & still lose weight as long as you eat the right amount of calories (see why) but the foods below may cause you to gain weight because they increase your hunger & cravings to a point where you'll end up eating too many calories and they may cause you to gain excess water weight so…

- AVOID the grocery store snack aisle. Stop eating potato chips, artificially flavored popcorn, cookies, candy, ice cream, cakes, etc. because the ingredients in these foods may make you want to eat more calories than you need to lose weight. 42 ways to curb your cravings for snacks, salt & sugar
- Make an effort to Cut down on your salt & sugar intake because too much causes you to gain water weight or false fat.
- Don't eat so called 'sugar free' products because although they are low calorie… They contain artificial sweeteners that increase your hunger & cravings making you more likely to eat too many calories.
- Read food labels and avoid anything that has sugar as it's main source of carbs, has corn syrup and/or hydrogenated oils as ingredients.
- Don't be fooled by the term "Multigrain" since it's just a fancy word for processed carbs and choose "Whole Grain" products only.
