Sandwiches.
Often lunch finds us at work. And this is a real problem. We have to replace the full-food snacks on the go. The first thing that comes to mind is a sandwich with whatever it is. But we are on a diet! And here begins an attempt to turn this product into useful food. We spread a loaf with margarine instead of butter, put a piece of hard cheese on top (it's so useful!) And cover it with a thin circle of sausage. What happens in the end? You will be surprised, but in this your sandwich is not less than 500 calories! How did it happen? After all, only useful products were taken into account!

The first thing you should pay attention to is bread. For you who are dieters, pita bread is best. You can use grain bread, but not wheat, not baking! Do not forget about the salad. They can perfectly complement any sandwich. Cheese is also good, but remember: just not fused! And watch for fat, because there are varieties with a high fat content. Sausage, of course, is not recommended, but something must be meat ?! It is best to take a piece of ham - it is more natural. In general, sandwiches are not the best food for slimming. We must try to do without them.
Nuts and dried fruits.
We were always offered to eat nuts and dried fruits when we watch our weight, but it's easy to overdo it. Although nuts and dried fruits are a better snack than chips or chocolate, there are still a few "buts." Remember - nuts are packed with calories. About 500 calories and 50 grams of fat per 100 grams of nuts! And in dried fruits, a lot of sugar, about 64g. sugar and 240 calories per 100 g. Yes, it's not ordinary sugar, but fructose, but your body will immediately turn it into fat if you do not immediately burn it with physical exertion.

No doubt, nuts are an excellent source of proteins, and they also contain "useful" fats. But they need a small handful a day. The most useful of them are almonds, brazil nut, walnuts and macadamia nut. Actually, the same applies to dried fruits. Eat a little, do not overdo it, watch for calories.
Candy and chocolate.
This is the dream of any woman - chocolate without sugar! And now it already exists! But know: chocolate and sugar-free candies or low-sugar are usually full of artificial sweeteners. New research shows that when they enter your body, there is a signal in the digestive tract to keep all the fat inside! Do not let him burn! Therefore, even if you eat sweets without sugar - your body will become a super-efficient storage for fat.

If you can stay on one small piece of chocolate or one or two sweets - you can occasionally pamper yourself. But if you know that this usually leads to a whole package of empty candy candy wrappers - better stay away from it. If you can not resist your desire, then drink a cup of low-calorie hot chocolate. You can also eat a bit of dark, bitter chocolate.
Coffee.
It's not just a drink - it's a way of life. But few people think that coffee is rich in calories and even fats. For example, in a typical cup of coffee latte contains a dose of 220 calories and 11g. fat!

It sounds unusual, but the best alternative to coffee is skim milk. You can even soy. Do you think this is boring and tasteless? Add whipped cream, syrups and chocolate flakes. All this will not do much harm to the figure, but it will only bring you pleasure.
Dietary drinks.
You will not believe, but diet drinks increase your appetite! Yes, they have less sugar, which is better for your waist and teeth, but sugar substitutes in beverages really provoke hunger. So often after drinking you will want peanuts or chocolates.

It will seem boring, you probably heard it before, but water is the best option. It is useful for your skin, also water helps the body to burn fat. If you are not satisfied with the taste of water, you can add fresh juice to it.
Alcohol.
Do you think that one glass of wine will not damage the diet? Did you know that one glass of wine contains about 80 calories? And how many of us really can only confine ourselves to one glass? ..
Than to replace.
Try low-calorie wine or beer mixed with soda water. Or go to fruit juices.
Yoghurts.
Who would have thought that a serving of yogurt with fruits and nuts is full of fat and sugar? Some of these seductive yogurt can have as much as 240 calories! And even low-fat varieties can be just as bad an option. Even if they have less fat, they can have a double share of sugar.

Yogurt is good for you, it is rich in calcium and has a calming effect for digestion, especially when it comes to bio-yoghurts. Just go for low-calorie yogurt without additives. If desired, add your own fruits and nuts to know exactly how many calories you have.
Breakfast cereals.
There is no doubt that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But choosing the "right", dry breakfast is crucial if you want to lose weight. Some cereals, although they look healthy, contain fats and a lot of calories. And, as much as in sugar, chocolate or a piece of cake!
Than to replace.
If you like breakfast cereals, choose high-fiber foods. It is desirable that there was no glaze, chocolate, nuts. You can use ordinary flakes - they are much less caloric.
