Everyone strives for a healthy and balanced diet, but there are some products that can further whet your appetite and cause you to consume excess calories. Let's take a look at a list of such "cunning" products.

French fries contain a lot of fat and starch, which quickly gives the body energy, but at the same time sharply increases blood sugar levels. After that, the sugar level drops quickly and your body feels hungry again. In addition, the amount of salt in French fries also plays a role - it makes the taste so tempting that you want to eat more without stopping.
Carbohydrates
Due to the high fructose syrup in carbonated drinks, the level of leptin (the satiety hormone) in the body decreases. As a result, instead of eliminating the feeling of hunger, your body craves food again. In addition, the sour and sweet taste of carbonated drinks increases the appetite for sweets even more.
Draje candies

The sweetness on top of these colorful candies contains corn syrup, a product that should have been banned long ago. This is the cheapest and most harmful type of sugar. It also affects the hormone leptin and stimulates appetite. Also, many dragee candies use artificial dyes to give them bright colors.
Refined carbohydrates

These are processed carbohydrates that have been stripped of their fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are often digested quickly, causing a sharp spike in blood sugar levels. These include freshly baked white bread, pasta, and crackers.
Cheese Corn Sticks

These pungent snacks that leave yellow and fiery stains on your clothes may seem harmless because they are light. But the sticks are not only full of salt, sugar, and fat, but also full of chemical flavor enhancers. They whet your appetite.
Ice Cream

The most dangerous ice cream is the one with salted caramel or sea salt. This ice cream, due to its sweet and salty taste, expands the scope of enjoyment of food and encourages the brain to consume more.
Fluffy donuts

Fluffy donuts are soft and airy dough products, filled with jam, chocolate, cream or other sweets. They are often eaten as breakfast or as a sweet snack. Donuts contain a lot of trans fats, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, high sugar content leads to diabetes and dental diseases, and causes sharp fluctuations in insulin levels.
Due to their high calorie content, eating them in large quantities can lead to weight gain and negatively affect the metabolism. In addition, store-bought donuts may contain various artificial additives and preservatives. Therefore, it is recommended to refrain from eating donuts.
