Prevent Weight Gain: Bad Foods to Avoid

Foods to avoid in summers in order to prevent weight gain

Healthy eating is the most common approach we all should adopt to at all times. But, at the same time there are some foods which are meant for particular time or season only and should be carefully considered while we include them in our daily diets. And there are some food which are always bad and do more harm than good and should always be omitted from our diet. Here in this article we would be looking at certain foods that we should seriously avoid in order to prevent weight gain in summers.

Summers are the months of rising temperatures and outdoor activities. It is also the holiday season and nature also blesses us with its bounty of delicious and fresh produces, but at the same time there are a lot of high-calorie foods available in this season that make us gain considerable amount of weight. Beverages that are refreshing and cold salads are some foods that we enjoy a lot in the hot weather but these foods have surprisingly high amount of calories and fats.

Let’s look at what we should avoid eating during the summer months so that we do not put on the extra weight on to ourselves.

  • Frozen Yoghurt

Don’t get fooled this summer with this summer delight. It is a common misconception that yoghurt is yoghurt, and is meant to be healthy. Yes, it is true, but not the frozen ones. They are loaded with added sugars and calories, even higher than what you generally find in an ice cream. Though yoghurt has some bit of protein in it, the probiotic factors are missing as it is there in natural and active yoghurts. Avoid them strictly.

  • Packaged Fruit Juices

During the summers we tend to pick up everything that is a fluid and with the easy availability, attractive packaging and tastefully enticing packaged fruit juices, we all tend to pick them the first. Almost all packaged fruit juices are loaded with added sugar in the form of sugary sodas – the main culprit to a host of health issues including weight gain. Next time you want to stay hydrated and keep away from thirst, make a wiser choice with whole fruits or freshly squeezed juices out of them.

  • Summer Salads

Salads are great foods for the summers, perhaps for all the year around – low in calories and super healthy. But there are the ones like the creamy pasta salads and the sweetened fruit salads could be equally dangerous and harmful. Refined flour, calorie rich creamy dressings, sugary syrups, whipped cream and what all – you have all the ingredients at one place to make you fat and unhealthy. Dressings in particular are pure fat.

  • Lemonades and flavored sweetened teas

Water doesn’t seem to be appealing always, whereas a chilled glass of lemonade or a flavored cold ice tea seems to be the perfect solution. You are not alone, we all are with you. But these drinks are super high in calories and sweets – a perfect combination to make you fat and fatter.

  • Bar-be-cue meats and burgers

This is one thing that we all wait for the entire year and come summers we love to have evening bar-be-cue parties very often. Research say that meats cooked over open flame and at unregulated temperatures causes the protein of the meat to break down into a compound that is not at all good for health and causes unprecedented fat gain.

Opt for lean meats with thinner cuts and cook over the grill to ensure that the meats stay healthy, yet delicious. Moreover, adding cheese and creamy topping on them add up to the portion of unsaturated fats along with higher levels of sodium and calories. Use herb and olive oil marinades to make them super healthy.

Being cautious about what you eat in any season is in your hands and so is your health. Make smarter choices and watch what you eat. You will be safe form weight gain in summers.

A Special Insight for Fellow Instagrammers & PRs
One thing I’ve noticed lately is a bit of confusion around the term “blogging.” Many people refer to Instagram posts as blogging, but here’s the truth: Posting pictures on Instagram is not the same as blogging.

A blog is typically a website that features regularly updated content, often in the form of blog posts. These posts provide in-depth experiences, insights and stories. Blogs are written pieces that allow for deeper exploration of topics, something that goes beyond the brief nature of social media posts.

Why This Matters:

For those just starting out or looking to collaborate, it’s essential to understand the distinction:

  • Bloggers are individuals who create long-form, detailed content on their own websites.
  • Instagrammers (or social media influencers) share snapshots, stories, and visuals primarily on social platforms.

So, let’s clear this up—don’t call Instagrammers bloggers. They may create great content, but it’s a different medium entirely. And for us bloggers, let’s continue pushing for rich, authentic storytelling that offers value and insight beyond a quick snapshot.

A Big Thank You! 🙏

To all the readers, fellow bloggers and PRs who’ve supported me over the years, Thank you! Here’s to many more years of sharing, exploring and growing together. 🌍🍴

Loft Suite at Ovolo Hotel, Woolloomooloo Sydney | Staycation in Australia

Featured

While conveniently located near Sydney’s Central Business District, the Ovolo Hotel Woolloomooloo provides a tranquil waterfront experience being at the Wharf. Ovolo is a luxury boutique hotel, providing exquisite rooms and exceptional loft suites.

This property is both a heritage and modern luxury, the Woolloomooloo Wharf offers a wealth of historical features that are matched by cutting-edge features and modern design. All while relaxing in your roomy residence with a view of stunning Sydney Harbour.

It is in the ideal location because it is close to Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens and we visited the Sydney Opera House, stunning parklands and The Rocks.

Ovolo Woolloomooloo has incredible 5-star amenities like their own indoor swimming pool with poolside cabanas, meeting rooms and event spaces, bar and dining at Alibi, 24-hour gym and the most important part- it’s a Pet-friendly accommodation! I am surely taking my pet greyhound on my next Staycation with Ovolo 😊

We stayed in Ovolo’s Cityvoo Loft Suite. Their rooms are comfortable and spacious! The suite was loft style: downstairs was the living room with electric blinds accessing to Sydney City skyline views (plus a separate powder room, dining area and mini bar) and upstairs was the king size ensuite bedroom.

This awesome suite included continental breakfast, mini bar, in-room snacks, wifi, daily social hour, national calls, indoor pool, gym, self-laundry and all this was FREE!! They also have unlimited free candy cart at the property. This was my first experience where the suite had a Yoga Mat for guests to takeaway to their homes! They surely know how to pamper their guests.

Since it was my Mother’s Birthday, they surprised us with complementary Champagne and Cake. Could not have chosen a place to celebrate than Ovolo Hotels 😊 Their room service was speedy and spot on! Also devoured the complementary breakfast at Alibi, it is a vegan restaurant and has wide range of options. Also, their Vegan Cheeseburger tastes like the real cheeseburger, Yumm!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my Staycation with Ovolo Hotel and looking forward for more of these in future 😊

A blog is a type of website where the content is often referred to as blog posts mainly with the purpose of sharing information or experiences. Therefore, posting pictures on instagram is not called blogging. Please do not call instagrammers as bloggers 🙏
