10 Foods you may want to avoid, at least most of the time
I won’t say never eat these, but they definitely deserve a pause and a rethink. But then again, I’m not much on complete deprivation!
I’m an ice cream fan, but I only indulge in the good stuff (Ben and Jerry’s or Dove mentioned here) rarely. It’s terribly fattening, but too good to give up altogether. Once every few months gets me my “fix” with minimum of guilt.
In my opinion, the chicken pot pie just isn’t worth over 1000 calories. It’s good (I’ve had them), but not nearly good enough to warrant that amount of calories and fat. Homemade is much better, and way less fattening!
Some of the other foods on this list are no doubt good, but I’d have to hesitate before indulging. Others, like the 4 patty cheeseburger, just won’t make it to my plate regardless. Give me a single cheeseburger any day, and I’ll be happy.
I’m still a kid at heart, so giving up on chicken noodle soup just ain’t gonna happen!
This type of article makes me think about how enormous portion sizes have become. Of course, just because you’re served a large portion doesn’t mean you have to EAT all of it. Forget about being a member of the clean plate club. You can have that slice of cheesecake for dessert if you split it with your honey. Or indulge in the pot pie but eat half of it along with a green salad. You get the idea. If there’s something you enjoy but it’s fattening, just try eating less of it. I’ve found that this works remarkably well for me. I still cut calories, and I don’t feel as if I’ve deprived myself.
