Taking in sugar makes your body feel that itâ€™s getting energy, hence it starts to store fat and all that is not burnt turns into fat too.

8. Too many calories

Be careful of how many calories youâ€™re taking in. Avoid fried foods. Chicken and fish do contain les fat but when fried they provide more calories than meat and pork. Do not use mayonnaises in your salad dressings; instead use fat free yogurt, barbeque sauce or ketchup.

9. Good fats!
