After every Tet holiday, the scale will "cry out" if you eat too much of the following foods:

Ham, pork roll, cinnamon sausage,... dishes made from pork also make it difficult for you to control your weight.

3. Braised meat

Braised pork is probably an indispensable dish in the Tet meal of Southern people. Nowadays, this dish is also quite popular in Tet of Northern people. With the rich taste of coconut milk mixed with the fatty taste of fatty meat, it is difficult for women to resist its charm.

According to nutritionists, each 150g portion of braised meat will correspond to about 250 calories.

4. Jams, dried fruits

Nowadays, jams such as kumquat jam, carrot jam, tamarind jam, tomato jam, etc. are not as popular as before, but instead, dried fruits such as dried banana, dried jackfruit, dried sweet potato, etc. are becoming more and more popular.

Many people love dried fruit because they believe that this snack is low in sugar and calories. In fact, dried fruit only removes most of the water but the amount of sugar still remains. In particular, this dish does not bring a feeling of fullness, so it is difficult for us to control the amount we put into our bodies.

Dried fruits are very popular.

5. Carbonated water, canned water

Not only carbonated soft drinks or beer, but also canned and boxed drinks are a weight-obsession during Tet. First of all, we have to mention the amount of sugar in these drinks. To increase the attractiveness of the product, manufacturers have added a large amount of sugar, equivalent to about 200 calories in each 300ml can of water.

Besides, other additives such as preservatives, colorants,... also cause many harmful effects to the body, causing dangerous diseases such as obesity, diabetes,...

There are about 200 calories in each 300ml can of carbonated soft drink.

6. Bamboo shoot and pig's feet soup

Bamboo shoot and pig's feet soup is a favorite dish of many people during Tet. The soup is considered the "soul" of Tet but is not good for the body. Pig's feet contain a large amount of fat, causing the body to gain weight quickly. Pig's feet is the type of meat that contains the most calories of all meats. Although it is popular and nutritious, women should limit eating bamboo shoot and pig's feet soup to limit weight gain after the long holiday.

7. Dried nuts

Dried nuts are now quite popular on the Tet candy plate in families such as: cashews, pumpkin seeds, almonds, pine nuts,.... Although these nuts contain many vitamins that are good for the body: vitamin A, vitamin B1, B12, vitamin E,.... but besides that, they contain a lot of oil or saturated fat. These fats enter the body, mix with the blood in the body, accumulate into white fat tissue that is not good for health.
