]]>Moderation
When it comes to enjoying takeout food, moderation is the key. While there’s no strict rule on how often you should indulge, it’s important to be mindful of your choices and their impact on your overall health. It’s perfectly okay to treat yourself to takeout occasionally as a well-deserved break from cooking or a social gathering with friends.
Special Occasions
However, relying too heavily on takeout can lead to excessive intake of unhealthy ingredients like sodium, unhealthy fats, and added sugars. Therefore, it’s essential to strike a balance by saving takeout for special occasions or when you truly need a break.
Healthier Takeout Options
Instead of ordering less takeout food, another option is to simply order takeout food that’s healthier. To make your takeout experience healthier, opt for lighter options like salads, grilled proteins, and steamed vegetables. Look for restaurants that prioritize fresh ingredients and offer healthier alternatives.

]]>Meal, Not Day
Instead of calling it a “cheat day”, we’d recommend calling it a “cheat meal”. Instead of focusing on the whole day as a day where anything goes, we’d recommend coin-balling it into one meal, and one meal alone. We find that things can get dicey when you call it a day, whereas a meal allows you to consolidate your indulgence and not feel so bad about it.
Enjoy Yourself
We’d like to hammer home this idea about truly enjoying yourself. If you’re on a diet, chances are you’ll feel guilty about eating junk food, but you really shouldn’t. By keeping it consolidated to one meal, you can rest assured knowing that you’re going back to your regular routine once it’s done.

]]>Sugar
Sugar is obviously one of the first things you have to eliminate from your diet if you want to lose belly fat. That means you should avoid eating cakes and cookies, but also sugary drinks, smoothies, and any other food that might contain artificial sugar.
Refined Grains
Processed grains have almost no nutritional value and are high in carbs, which is why it’s best to avoid them and add more whole grains to your diet. The best examples of refined grains that we all eat on a daily basis are white rice, pastries, white bread, white pasta, and more.
Alcohol
Alcohol is also one of the things that could be sabotaging your weight loss plan, because most alcoholic drinks are packed with sugar and calories.
Processed Meat
We all know that deep-fried food and fast food is extremely unhealthy and packed with trans fats, but don’t forget to eliminate processed meat from your diet if you want to lose belly fat.

]]>Alcohol
Drinking a glass of wine every now and then won’t do any harm, but drinking too much alcohol can dehydrate your skin and cause inflammation.
Sugar
It’s a well-known fact that processed sugar has many negative effects on our health and promoting inflammation is only one of them. Consuming too much sugar can dehydrate your skin, cause acne, and aging of the skin.
Fried Foods
Even though we all love eating deep-fried food every once in a while because it’s delicious, don’t make this a habit. Deep-fried foods are loaded with trans fats and can also ruin your skin if eaten too often.
Salty Snacks
Eating snacks that contain too much salt such as chips or popcorn could also be damaging your skin if you eat them often. Too much salt can also cause inflammation and dehydrate your body, so it’s best to avoid eating salty food if you want to improve your skin health.

]]>Hot Dogs
Who doesn’t like a nice hot dog every once in a while? It shouldn’t come as a surprise this fast food is extremely unhealthy—just like any other processed meats—because it’s high in fat and sodium.
Energy Drink
Next time you need an energy boost, go for a quick walk or take a short nap instead of reaching for energy drinks. These drinks can be pretty harmful, because they’re packed with caffeine and sugar.
Microwave Popcorn
Our favorite snack may not be as healthy as we think, at least if you prepare it in a microwave. Microwave popcorn contain lots of artificial flavors that are very unhealthy, so it’s best to prepare your own popcorn on stovetop.
Margarine
Margarine is made from vegetable oils and is packed with trans fats. This means margarine is bad for our heart health and cholesterol, so it’s best to switch to healthier options like butter.

]]>Fruit Juice
Fresh orange juice in the morning is delicious but think of all the sugar it contains. It may help you wake up quicker than a cup of coffee, but you’ll quickly run out of that energy and be hungry again, likely reaching for more sugary things.
Bakery Products
Pastry tastes great and stopping by your favorite bakery in the morning is so convenient, but most of the stuff there is really unhealthy. If you must, choose something made with whole wheat flour and eat it with butter or cream cheese.
Greasy Eggs and Processed Meat
Fried eggs sound like a perfectly reasonable breakfast, but it’s better to boil them instead and get rid of all the unnecessary fat. And if you like to eat a few sausages or a salami sandwich with the eggs, better replace that with something healthier like whole-wheat toast and a cup of tea.

]]>As dermatologist Dr. Melanie Palm told U.K.’s The Independent, “greasy or deep-fried foods do not cause acne.” But what does? Turns out, there are two food groups that you should avoid if you want flawless skin.
High Glycemic Index Foods
Foods that contain a lot of sugar and refined carbohydrates will rapidly raise your blood sugar levels and trigger a series of effects that will make your skin produce oil and make it prone to acne. This isn’t just true for processed candy and white flour bread; some fruits like watermelon can have the same effect.
Dairy
Another category of food that will make your skin break out is dairy, especially skim cow’s milk. The reasons for this include high-sugar content and hormones from the lactating cow. Yogurt and cheese are, however, safe choices.
