My friend is wondering why she’s not losing weight and as I was trying to make her do a food diary, it turned out that she was ‘forgetting’ to write down some of the stuff she eats.

It’s not that these things are unhealthy, it’s just that if you’re going to write a diary for yourself and as an aid to your diet (in order to adjust things depending on what works best etc.), then you need to be thorough.

So what she was forgetting were things like hummus for example. It’s not bad in itself but if you’re dipping things in it all day, be it carrot or cucumber, it’s going to make you fat.  It contains up to 200 calories per 100 grams, and up to 10% of it is fat.

So careful if you’re dipping about everything and anything in hummus. It’s not a bad food in itself, it’s rich in Omega 3 and lots of minerals, but still not worth killing your diet for!
