Nine diet-busting foods to avoid

If you're currently dieting for the purpose of losing weight, those "cheat days" can sound mighty tempting. You work hard all week and then splurge a bit on Saturday night at a dinner. While this in and of itself it not that bad, the foods you choose to "cheat" with can erase some of that hard work put forth during the week.

So, which foods should you avoid at all costs when dieting, even on "cheat days?" The list below may be hard to read, but it will save you from having the "yo-yo" effect of losing weight (and seeing it!) but then having to put it back on in one fail swoop.

• White bread
• White pasta
• White potatoes
• Pastries
• Doughnuts
• Cookies
• Cakes, pies, and other sugary baked goods
• Candy and candy bars
• Potato chips and other packaged and fried snacks
