But that won’t stop you from trying to skirt the system. By introducing some new foods into your diet that you secretly hope will quench your diet hunger pangs and keep you on the straight and narrow diet program.

NUTRITIONISTS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU’RE LIVING A LIE IF YOU EAT ONE OF THESE SEVEN FOODS.

  • Rice cakes (though we will admit, some of them taste pretty darn good)
  • Fat-free salad dressing.  Just go with some basic balsamic you make yourself at home.  Or, since the regular stuff doesn’t really add that significant amount of fat or carbs, just treat yourself.  As always, moderation is key.  A lightly-dressed salad is optimal.
  • Seitan, that fake soy meat thing
  • Shark .  SHARK? Who the hell came up with this list?
  • Refined grains.  Sure, no more Wonder Bread.  We get that.
  • Sugar-based drinks
  • Grits. Nothing good ever came from a dish made of grits
