11. Fruit Juice:
It’s natural, it’s packed with Vitamin C—what could be wrong? Well, while 100% fruit juice is a better pick than sugary drinks, even the all-natural stuff still packs up to 36 grams of sugar per cup.
This is about the same if you ate four Krispy Kreme glazed donuts.
What’s more, most of the sweetness in juice comes from fructose.
A type of sugar associated with visceral adipose tissue—yep, that’s belly fat.
Instead, your best bet is to stick with plain or water.
But there is a way to add some flavor. You can add fresh sliced fruit like oranges and grapefruit.
The key is to keep the peels on: citrus peels are rich in a powerful compound that helps flush toxins from the body and allows it to release stored belly fat.
Not all fruit juices are unhealthy, one of the healthiest is carrot juice.
12. Canned Soup:
When it comes to canned soups you’re going to want to make sure you’re choosing the right ones.
See, there are plenty that sneaks in a ton of sodium.
This not only causes belly bloat but actually can increase your appetite making it hard to know when you’re full.
13. Margarine:
Choose a small amount of regular butter or soft spread over margarine when topping foods or baking.
Margarine is usually loaded with trans-fat and is found in plenty of pastries, crackers, snack foods, and even microwave popcorn, so limit intake to keep cholesterol levels in check.
