Fitness coach shares list of 12 foods to avoid for faster weight loss: Peanut butter, fruit juice and more

Aarja Bedi, a fitness coach, underwent a remarkable transformation, shedding 10 kilos.

She regularly shares glimpses of her weight loss journey on Instagram, offering followers a mix of motivation, practical diet advice, and effective workout tips for achieving and maintaining healthy weight loss.

On April 8, Aarja shared a post noting down the food items that we should avoid for faster fat loss. “There are some foods that make staying in a calorie deficit way harder than it needs to be, either because they spike cravings, pack hidden calories, or leave you feeling hungrier.”

Granola
Half cup of granola can easily hit more than 250-300 calories and still barely touch your hunger.

Protein bars
Often loaded with sugar and low fibre, protein bars cause bloating, cravings, no satiety.

Acai bowls
Acai bowls can hit 600-900 calories without much protein or fat.

Nut butters
Nut butters are so easy to overeat. One heaping spoon of nut butter contains more than 300 calories.

Fruit or green juice
Loaded with zero fiber and liquid sugar, these juices can cause insulin spike, crash, and hunger again in an hour.

Low-fat flavored yoghurt
Low-fat flavored yogurt contain added sugar and no real protein. Choose Greek yoghurt instead.

Vegan desserts
Vegan doesn’t mean low-calorie. Most are still full of fats and sugars (just plant-based).
