Want to shed pounds? Avoid these top diet busters

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements

So many of us are trying to lose pounds, whether it's a few or a few hundred. But no matter what your goal, it's important to know which items are healthiest and which will de-rail your diet intentions. Courtesy of AOL Body, here are some of the top diet busters that you might be consuming on a regular basis:
  • Fancy coffees: Those lattes, frappuccinos and macchiatos can be deadly to a diet. Stick to black coffee, or if you can't handle it, coffee with light cream and sweetener.
  • Bagels: Bagels are the equivalent of up to 5 pieces of bread -- yikes!
  • Granola bars: They're basically candy bars with a healthy-sounding name
  • Applesauce: Unsweetened is fine, but sweetened apple sauce is full of sugar.
  • Baked chips: They might be healthier than regular chips, but only slightly. They're still chalk full of calories
  • Sports drinks: There's no point in trading in soda for a sports drink -- the latter has just as much sugar!
