Four Hidden Diet Killers: How You May Be Undermining Your Weight Loss Efforts

Guest post by:  Alexis Bonari 
Diet killers surround us. They come in the form of preprepared foods on our supermarket shelves and from our favorite restaurants. Choosing your food wisely can make or break your diet plans. Here are four of the worst offenders to guard against:
1. High fat extras.
It’s no secret that restaurants add high fat, high calorie ingredients to their food whenever they can. Adding fat is a cheap, easy way to make food taste better than it really is. High fat hamburger makes extra tasty hamburgers without any added seasoning.

Apple & Dijon Glazed Pork

Apple Dijon Pork Apple & Dijon Glazed Pork

Alrighty Paleo-heads, this is a play on roast pork and mash potatoes just for you guys. I made a simple marinade for the pork using paleo-friendly ingredients. My favourite veg as a kid was carrot/parsnip mash. My Mum couldn’t make enough of the stuff! I still love it today and it works great here instead of potatoes.
The sweet and tangy flavour of the pork works brilliantly with the sweetness of the C&P mash.

Enjoy!

About Mara:
