Our daily life is full of goodies and temptations, but as we all know, an unhealthy diet can lead to various health problems and will definitely not allow us to lose weight.
Nutritionists have listed for the Mirror 14 of the most harmful foods for those who are losing weight.
Donuts with jam

Donuts with jam combine some very unhealthy ingredients.
They are high in sugar, made from white flour and, of course, deep fried.
According to sports nutritionist Rob Hobson, one jam donut contains about five teaspoons of sugar, is also high in saturated fat, and has about 330 calories.
Sausages

Sausages are a staple for many families, but the processed meat used to make them is high in saturated fat, salt and preservatives.
The World Cancer Research Fund warns that people should eat "little or no" processed meat and says there is strong evidence that eating processed meat causes colorectal cancer.
Choosing better quality sausages can make a big difference, look for brands that are high in meat and low in salt.
Coconut oil

Coconut oil has long been touted as a healthier alternative to olive or vegetable oil because it is high in saturated fat.
Rhiannon Lambert, author of The Science of Nutrition, believes that high consumption of this type of fat is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, so it is important not to exceed the recommended amount of saturated fat for each person, which is 20g for women and 30g for men husband

Obviously, cola is one of the worst things you can drink if you're trying to watch your weight.
The very high level of sugar in the drink means that it is a bad choice for body and dental health.
All this is true for almost all sweet carbonated drinks.
Fried chicken

Fried chicken is high in saturated fat, which can increase your risk of heart disease.
It also contains a lot of salt, which can raise blood pressure if consumed in excess.
Two fried chicken legs contain almost 500 calories, 2.5 g of salt and a lot of saturated fat.
Fruit juices with added sugar
Although fruit juices help to replenish vitamin C stores, some companies add extra sugar to their drinks in addition to what is already in the fruit juice.
Always check the label, and if you see sugar there, choose another brand.
Sweet cereals and flakes with chocolate
Breakfast cereals are packed with nutrients, but some contain loads of sugar and chocolate chips, which aren't the healthiest way to start the day.
Granola
Muesli has a reputation for being a healthy breakfast choice, but in reality it can be high in oil, sugar and in some cases even salt.
It's always a good idea to check the label carefully to see how much sugar is in a particular brand.
The low level of sugar in the product is 5 g per 100 g.
Burger

The combination of processed meat, white flour buns, melted cheese and salty sauce means this is definitely something to avoid for dieters.
White sugar

Many of us add sugar to our tea and coffee, leading to an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.
If you don't like an unsweetened hot drink, try switching to a low-calorie sweetener.
Deep-fried cheese in breading
Things like deep-fried halloumi, mozzarella sticks, and cheese balls should be avoided by a dieter because they are high in salt and saturated fat.
Pancakes
This is another case where a healthy reputation can hide a multitude of sins, as with muesli and sausages.
In this case, we are talking about ready-made fritters, which may contain palm oil, glucose syrup, oil and artificial flavors.
Chocolate bars with a high protein content
Many chocolate brands now make high protein bars, but that doesn't mean they're good for you.
They're also high in sugar and saturated fat, unlike natural lean protein sources like chicken, turkey, eggs, fish, and tofu.

In fact, not all chocolate is good for weight loss, but milk and white chocolate usually contain the most sugar.
