Summer Slimdown Guide: Five foods that make you feel fat
Not only do nutritious foods -- such as fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains -- help you lose extra pounds or maintain a healthy weight, they also help you feel lighter and healthier. A healthy diet promotes good digestion, which will help you avoid bloating and constipation. And eating foods that are low in fat, sugar, and salt will help you avoid water retention and energy-sucking sugar crashes.
So while you stick to your healthy menu this summer, beware of those foods that will not only add extra calories to your day, but that also could make you feel bloated, heavy, or lethargic. They include:
- sugary sweets
- excessive alcohol
- white or processed grains
- foods that are high in sodium
- anything deep fried

So it's five TYPES of food, not five SPECIFIC foods. I was curious when I saw the headline, but this article isn't anything that someone with common sense doesn't already know.
