Some of the foods that we savor occasionally have very scary effects on our health. It not only causes weight gain and obesity it also leads way to a multitude of illnesses. Though we are conscious of it, some of us tend to neglect it.

One of those foods are the onion appetizers or onion rings which stand next to French fries. Fried with a coat of batter onion (Bloomin Onion) has nearly 800 calories out of which a good 600 is fat! If Saturated fat is 54%, around 53% is sodium and cholesterol is 26%. Well, let us not mention the fat, calories and sodium present in the dipping sauce then.

Burgers are favorites. The giant burgers that we gorge from our favorite restaurant chains are loaded with fat, calories and health hazards. A thick burger would contain around 1400 calories with 229% of saturated fat and 110% of sodium. A burger with slices of cheese and double patties should remind you of 100 gm of fat, 45gms of saturated fat and 2700 mg of sodium. Hamdogs are not well behind, anyway. These are all against the rule not to have 20 gms of saturated fat a day. Plain burgers and salads are safer for a lunch than those succulent meat giants.

Your weight loss ideas might come out great. But you have to see whether it goes the same for your children too. Many of the foods labeled for children have no natural ingredients but a lot of sugar and fruit favors. Nutrition experts say that some of them are not nutritious too.

Desserts cause considerable danger when a cheesecake gets laden with a lot of cookies, candies, mousse and ganache. You are in for at least 600 calories as you much a cheesecake. In this context, mochas and the family with whipped cream are not far behind offering around 300-600 calories. The low fat milk might help anyway.

If you can avoid having some of these for a long time you can certainly trigger off your weight loss process.
