4 products that make us look fatter than we are

Although variation in weight with women is normal, sometimes the extra pounds are not responsible for the bloated stomach, but certain products. We present you the five main causes of bloating that make you look fatter than you are.

Milk

We all know that milk in excessive amounts is not healthy for your health. But if it causes problems with constipation and bloating maybe the problem is that your body does not tolerate lactose.

Starch

If the products that are rich in starch cause you bloated stomach you do not have to dispose them of your diet but to select those who do not. Wheat, barley and rye contain large amounts of fructan, a polymer of fructose, which causes bloating. It is better to put potatoes, rice, corn and oats on your plate, which contain much less fructan.

Fruit

Apple and pear can cause bloating. Although the fruit is packed with healthy ingredients like vitamins and minerals and it can be a cause of bloating. The reason lies in the amount of fructose and glucose. Better choose berries, citrus, and grape because they, unlike apple and pear contain much less of the aforementioned ingredients.

Replacement sugar

Sorbitol, xylitol and mannitol are artificial sweeteners found in the so called dietetic drinks and chewing gums. If you experience bloating after consuming the diet food and beverages you should avoid such products. For personal application its better to use natural sweeteners such as stevia and agave syrup.
