Low-fat yoghurt

Even though the name suggests low-fat, they may not be very good for you especially when you’re trying to lose weight.

If you are deceived by the name low-fat, and you add it to your healthy diet, it will cause your blood glucose level go up and then crashing down. Instead of this low-fat yoghurt varieties, you can always go for Greek yoghurt, which contains less amount of sugar and high levels of protein. So, you are getting extra protein, which is good for you and your weight loss efforts.

Bran cereal

Instead of that, you can go for oatmeal because it is a far better alternative for your breakfast.

Cereal bars
