What is Windows - BT folder and How to Delete It?

While Windows 10 has not major hard drive requirements, nor high-end hardware, it’s just 16GB for 32bit OS and 20 GB for 64 Bit version, but this whole upgrade process leaves a chunk of temporary windows files which eats up a good value of your free space in hard drive. This folder appeared when Windows 10 up-gradation has started. There will be 2 folders i.e. $Windows.~BT, and $Windows.~WS which shall be used by windows for upgrading to Windows 10. However $Windows.~BT is the folder where Windows backup your previous OS whether it would be Windows 7 or Windows 8. Don’t touch these folders till the time you upgrade to Windows 10.

When you have upgraded to Windows 10, you’ll find that $Windows.~BT is consuming a good chunk of your drive space. Now there arise a need to getting rid of these folder, and you just can’t use Delete option for this folder as Windows won’t allow you to delete this easily for obvious reasons. Also you’ll find a windows.old folder, which is a copy of system files of previous windows

Solution 1

Regarding deletion of $Windows.~BT or even Windows.old folder, procedure is fairly simple:

Press Windows key + R (when being on desktop)
When “Run” command box appears, type:
cleanmgr.exe
Hit Enter.

This shall open a dialog box of Disk Cleanup. Choose C:\ or the drive where you have these folders.

After Disk cleanup is done scanning, Click “Clean Up System files“. Now it’ll again ask to select Drive, choose same drive and click “OK“.

Now, you’ll be presented with choices to clean “Previous Windows Installations“, “Temporary Windows installations files“. Choose the options which shall help you gain back a big chunk of hard drive space back. Click Ok and let it delete those in background.

You’ll find that “Windows.old” folder is no more, but chances are that you’ll still find $Windows.~BT, and $Windows.~WS in your hard drive. Then you need to follow “Solution 2“.

Solution 2

If Solution 1 doesn’t helps you, then you’ll need to take complete ownership of $Windows.~BT folder.

Right click on $Windows.~BT folder and choose Properties.
Go to Security Tab and Choose you current user with which you’re logged in.
Click Edit. Again choose your current user with which you’re logged in your computer

Click Check box of “Full Control” and Click Apply and OK.

Again Click OK to close last dialogue box. Now you’ve full ownership of $Windows.~BT folder.
Now right click on the folder and simply delete it.

Microsoft recommends that you should keep this folder, in case you never know what happens wrong with software’s, and you might need to roll back to previous windows. For same reasons, windows.old folder must not be deleted until you really have a crisis of space in your hard drive.

Thinking about migrating to Windows Home Server (WHS) 2011? Using an HP MediaSmart Server (EX470 or EX475)? Not sure how where to start? – you may just want to read further…

I have had a Windows Home Server for several years and after reading many reviews decided to take the plunge and migrate my original server (an HP MediaSmart EX470) to WHS 2011. Now a simple task you might think. There are a number of things to consider:
- The MediaSmart EX470/475 servers come with an AMD 1.8Ghz Sempron 3400+processor which is 64 bit capable. Which means that the servers are capable (from a CPU stand point) of running Server 2008, which is the base OS for WHS 2011.
- The MediaSmart EX470/475 servers come with 512Mb of RAM which is not enough to run Server 2008. You will need to upgrade your memory to 2Gb at least. There is a good guide on doing so here on HomeServerHacks.com.
- Windows Home Server v1 is based on Server 2003 (x86) and so there is no upgrade path to WHS 2011 (Server 2008 x64). I.e. this is a clean install and unless you use different drives, you will not be able to go to your previous configuration easily.
- The MediaSmart EX470/475 servers do not have a graphics card so upgrading can be a little tricky… if you read on, I will tell you the easy way to do this.
By the way, in case you were not sure, the only difference between the two models is that the EX 470 came with a single 500Gb hard drive and the EX 475 came with two 500Gb hard drives. Other than that they are the same.
All this means to say that you can run WHS 2011 in a MediaSmart EX470/475. The question is then – why? The answer to this was simple for me – because I can and I wanted some of the extra functionality offered by the WHS 2011, including transcoding to DNLA devices built in and connectivity to my Windows Phone 7 device (this is covered in a future blog post).
You do lose one piece of functionality in that WHS 2011 does not come with the Drive Extender technology that came with the original version. Drive Extender allowed you to pool drives so that adding more capacity was a simple as adding the drive to server, and following the wizard in the Windows Home Server Console. Easy and no messing about. There are however alternatives from 3rd parties. I will cover these and my experiences in a follow up post.
So, here goes… having decided it was possible to upgrade and that it was worth while, this is what I did… by the way, I am not connected with the WHS server team and so these are my experiences only. I can also offer no guarantees as to your experiences and you should make up your own mind if migrating to WHS 2011 is something you really want to do…
I got many of my pointers from the following post on the DBA Resources Site, but my experiences were not as straight forward as suggested in the article.
For media, you can use either the DVD that comes in the box, or a Bootable USB key, each has it’s pros and cons:

- DVD Rom (though it will have dawned on you that the HP MediaSmart EX470/475 don’t come with a DVD drive and so you will need an external DVD drive if you take this path).
- Bootable USB Key, preferably with an answer (cfg.ini) file. I will describe how to do this shortly as it was my preferred method given that the USB install is much faster and the answer file takes away much of the guess work.

Step 1: Back Up Your Data: I cannot emphasize this enough.. If you do not, or are not in a position to, you should not attempt this. I spent the 2 days prior to doing the migration backing all of my data up on to two separate systems just in case and believe me, I needed it!
Step 2: Creating a USB boot key: I have seen lots of people post this description over the years, but here is the short version:
Open CMD and run diskpart (this may cause UAC to prompt you as it requires elevated privileges)

list disk (this will show you the disks on your system. You will want to make sure you know which is your USB key - I typically look for drive size)
select disk x (Where x is the disk # of your USB key)
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=fat32
assign
exit

Now copy the contents of your WHS 2011 ISO or DVD to your new Bootable USB key. There is a really cool tool (Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool) on the MS Store site, but for some reason it did not work with my WHS 2011 ISO Image. If need be, you can extract your ISO file using a range of tools such as WinRAR or 7-Zip.
Step 3: Creating your answer file (cgf.ini): This step is optional if you are not installing WHS 2011 in a headless environment (see step 4). If you are using a bootable USB key, you can use an answer file to remove all of the prompts you normally get when installing a new operating system, which is especially useful when you don’t have a screen… From the article I mentioned earlier, I used the following cfg.ini configuration:

[WinPE]     
InstallSKU=SERVERHOMEPREMIUM      
WindowsPartitionSize=61440      
CheckReqs=0      
ConfigDisk=1

[InitialConfiguration]     
AcceptEula=true      
ServerName=MyHomeServer      
PlainTextPassword=HomeServer2011      
PasswordHint=What am I installing      
Settings=All

Note that I just used Notepad to create a new text document called ‘cfg.ini’ and saved this to the root of the USB key.
Step 4: Installing Windows Home Server 2011 on my HP MediaSmart EX470: Here is where I spent a few hours trying to follow the instructions from the article I mentioned earlier and gave up. The instructions may work for you, but not me. I found that the install process halted repeatedly and because I didn’t have a monitor on the server, I had no idea why, so here is what I did…

Take a spare machine (could be a spare laptop or desktop as long as you have either a SATA or eSATA connector). Remove the existing hard drive(s) from the spare machine – if you don’t, the WHS installation process will delete all of the data from your desktop or laptop hard drive(s).
Connect the boot drive from the HP MediaSmart server via either SATA or eSATA. Keep in mind that not all external eSATA drive enclosures support large drives, so check that you can access the drive from a working machine if the installer is not correctly recognizing the drive.
Boot from the USB Key, typically by pressing F12 as the computer first starts (POST). The WHS 2011 installer will then load and if you did not do step 3, you will be prompted to select a clean install (default), so press Enter. You will then be prompted to accept that the installer will erase the primary disk (this is why you need to remove or disable your original hard drive from the spare machine). If you used an answer file (cfg.ini), the installer will simply partition the drives and install based on the answers you provided.
IMPORTANT: when the computer boots for the first time, you will need to turn the machine off, disconnect the drive and put the drive back in the HP MediaSmart Server in the bottom drive bay. This is so that the install is customized for the HP server and not the spare machine.
Turn the HP MediaSmart server on and let it boot / sit for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the installation process to complete. You will know it is done when you see on your network a machine with the name you entered in to the cfg.ini file (‘MyHomeServer’) or ‘Server’ if you did not (‘Server’ is the default name).

Step 5: Completing Installation: Once you can see the server on the network, you can complete the installation / configuration by launching the Setup Wizard through your browser:
On your desktop or laptop, enter the server name or IP address of your MediaSmart Server (for example, this would be http://MyHomeServer/ if you used the answer file (cfg.ini) settings from step 3, or ‘http://Server/ if you did not). You should see a button to ‘Download and run the setup wizard’.

Click on the button to launch the setup wizard and it should open another web page displaying the progress of the final part of the installation. This will take a good while, 30 or 40 minutes and cause the server to reboot a couple of times.
Step 6: Connecting your first computer: You will need to install the WHS 2011 connector software on at least one machine, which will allow you access to the dashboard. This is the configuration tool that includes a number of common tasks etc to get your WHS 2011 fully up and running. You can do this by going to http://MyHomeServer/Connect (assuming you used the answer file) or http://Server/connect if you did not.

Congratulations! Your installation of Windows Home Server 2011 will now be complete. Keep in mind that you will still need to set up user accounts etc. You can do this either through ‘Remote Desktop Connection’, or through the Dashboard.
In the next post, I will discuss the process I went through for data migration.
Enjoy!

How to Grow a Lemon Tree from Seed Easily in Your Own Home

Seeds from the citrus fruits you eat, including orange, kumquat, lemon, lime, tangerine and grapefruit, can turn into some of the most beautiful houseplants around.

The citrus family consists of plants with glossy green, fragrant leaves that under good conditions will produce strongly fragrant flowers and fruits even when grown indoors. Buying large plants can be very expensive, but with patience, you can have the fun of growing your own plants from seed.

Today, I am going to talk about growing a lemon tree from seeds that you can grow in your home. Lemons are so useful for so many different things that they kind of exist in another universe on their own. Whether you’re adding them to water or making use of their peels, the convenience of growing your own lemons is not something that should be ignored.

The first thing is that it is very important to buy an organic lemon to get your seeds from. The non-organic lemons usually contain non-germinating seeds.

Remove the seeds from ripe to overripe lemon, rinse them off and plant them immediately in in small flowerpots filled with moistened, quality potting soil. Plant the seeds about 1/2-inch below the soil surface.

Place the containers in a tray, and add water to the tray whenever the soil dries. To speed germination, slip a plastic bag over the tray to create a humid environment for the seeds.

Group the seed containers with your other houseplants and water them at the same time, even if nothing seems to be happening. Seeds should germinate in two to three weeks inside the plastic bag. If the bag is omitted, germination may take five to six weeks.

Remove the tray from the plastic bag, if used, when germination occurs, and place containers in a sunny window.

Transplant seedlings to larger pots as soon as their first containers are filled with roots. Give citrus plants as much sunlight as you can indoors, and place them outdoors in warm weather.

Given the right conditions, including ample sunlight and water, large enough containers and fertilizer, indoor plants can reach 10 feet in height.

Лимон и сода бикарбонат - 10 000 пъти по-силен ефект от химиотерапията!

Пийте лимонов сок всеки ден, ако му добавите една лъжичка сода бикарбонат е още по-добре.

Лимонът е един вълшебен плод, който има способността да убива раковите клетки. Той е 10 000 пъти по-силен от химиотерапия. Защо не знаем за това? Защото има организации, които нямат интерес да знаем за чудните качества на лимона. За това, от сега нататък можете да помогнете приятел, който има нужда, да разпространите това знание - трябва да се пие сок от лимон с малко сода бикарбонат за предотвратяване заболяването. Без захар или подсладители, вкусът е приятен – натурална лимонада. И разбира се, не предизвиква ужасно ефектите от химиотерапията. И ако можете да го направите, засадете си едно лимоново дръвче. Всички му части са полезни.

Колко хора умират докато тази тайна се пази внимателно, за да не бъдат поставени в рискове печалбите на големите корпорации.

Както добре знаете лимоновото дърво е ниско. Той заема много пространство, известно е под името на лимон, лима, limoeiro (gal.), llimoner (cat.), limoiaritz (eusk.). Този плод има силен анти – канцерогенен ефект. Освен това има много други свойства. Има много силен ефект върху кисти и тумори. Този плод лекува от рак, тестван е за рак на всички видове, а ако се добави бикарбонат е още по- добре, защото ще се промени стойността на рН на тялото.

Лимонът притежава много силен анти - микробен ефект с много широк спектър на действие против бактериални инфекции и гъбички – те обикновено живеят на места с висока киселинност, добавянето на бикарбонат към вашият Лимонов сок вие ще промените стойността на рН на тялото към алкална, каквато в същност трябва да бъде , за да сте здрави. Лимонът е ефикасен срещу вътрешни паразити и червеи, регулира високо кръвно налягане и е Антидепресант, намалява стреса и нервните разстройства.

Интерес представлява източника на тази информация: идва от един от най – големите производители на лекарства, който казва, че след повече от 20 лабораторни тестове, извършени от 1970 до сега данните сочат че:Лимонът унищожава злокачествените клетки в 12 типа рак, включителноно дебелото черво, гърдите, простатата, бял дроб и панкреас.
Вещества от това дърво забавят растежа на раковите клетки и оказват 10 000 пъти по-добър ефект от продукти като Adriamycin, химиотерапия, и наркотичните продукти, които се използват обикновено в света.

И това, което е още по - изненадващо: този вид лечение, с екстракт от лимон и бикарбонат, унищожава само злокачествените ракови клетки и не засяга здравите клетки.

РАКОВИТЕ КЛЕТКИ СЕ РАЗПАДАТ ЗА 48 ЧАСА, АТАКУВАНИ ОТ ПОПУЛЯРНА НАШЕНСКА БИЛКА

Това растение можем да видим навсякъде около нас. То има много лечебни свойства и всичко, което трябва да направите е да го съберете от двора или околните планини. Чаят от глухарче действа на клетките на рака, влияейки им по такъв начин, че те се разпадат в срок от 48 часа.

Нашите баби са правили сиропи от цветчета от глухарче, знаейки за неговата оздравителна сила, но със сигурност не са подозирали, че коренът на глухарчето може да помогне на болните от рак.

Учените са открили, че коренът на това растение работи „по-добре“ от химиотерапията, защото „убива“ напълно само клетките, които са заразени с рак. В допълнение към това има и диуретични свойства, стимулира секрецията на жлъчката, чисти черния дроб, помага при алергии и намалява холестерола. Той съдържа много важни витамини и минерали, като витамин В6, тиамин, рибофлавин, витамин С, желязо, калций, калий, фолиева киселина и магнезий.

Съдържа до 535% от необходимата доза витамин К и около 110% от препоръчителната дневна доза витамин А. Всичко това са факти, известни от години.

Университетът Уиндзор в Канада извърши първоначално проучване в Катедрата по химия и биохимия, а резултатите дадоха нова надежда за болните от рак. Беше установено, че коренът на глухарче ефективно „убива“ клетките, заразени с рак, без вредни ефекти върху другите клетки в организма, пише сайта Natural News.

Джон Ди Карло, 72 годишен мъж, който лично е бил убеден в лечебните свойства на глухарчето, е бил подложен на интензивна и „агресивна“ химиотерапия в борбата за своето здраве. Процесът на лечение бил три годишен преди лекарите да го изпратят у дома, за да прекара последните дни със своите близки.

Поради факта, че нямало ефект от химиотерапията и лекарите не предложили алтернативи за лечение на рака, Джон започнал да пие чай от корена на глухарче като последен опит за спасение. Само след четири месеца, според сайта Natural News, този човек е преживял ремисия на болестта.

The Most Powerful Anti-Cancer Kernel Known On Planet Earth (It’s NOT microwave popcorn!)

Dr. Ernest Krebs was a biochemist in the early 1950s whose desire to understand what makes cancer cells work led him to discover a possible key to overcoming the disease. Working on a hunch that cancer is ultimately a metabolic reaction to a poor diet, Krebs began studying the lifestyle habits of the Hunzas whose remote country is hidden near Northern Pakistan.

The Hunzas and Apricot Kernels

Major Sir Robert McCarrison wrote about the Hunzas back in the 1930s when he had a post with the Indian Medical Service. According to McCarrison, the Hunzas enjoyed near-perfect physical and mental health and some of them lived to be over 135 years old. There seemed to be no evidence of diabetes, obesity, or heart attacks among them as well. There was also no evidence of cancer.

What made the Hunzas so resilient? Their vitality had a lot to do with what they ate and their overall lifestyle. Their diet was simple. According to McCarrison, it consisted of raw milk, the occasional meat and bone broth, fresh grains and veggies. They ate very little sugar and their lifestyles as nomads and herders meant they got plenty of vigorous exercise. The other characteristic was that the group ate large quantities of apricot seed kernels. Intrigued by this peculiarity, Krebs researched until he found what he thought was the secret weapon for tumor eradication – amygdalin.

What is Amygdalin?

Amygdalin is a compound that is found in over 1200 edible plants in nature (and, not surprisingly, is also missing in large part from the Standard American Diet). It is found in the highest concentrations and with the most effective accompanying enzymes in apricot seed kernels.

The substance laetrile was created by Dr. Krebs as a concentrated form of amygdalin that is obtained by extracting it from apricot kernels. Amygdalin is a nitriloside and its structure most resembles that of a B complex vitamin, so Krebs named it B17.

What Makes Apricot Kernels a Cancer Killer?

Amygdalin found in apricot kernels and laetrile contains four potent substances: two of which are benzaldehyde and cyanide. You heard that right! Cyanide is one of the substances that makes apricot kernels a force to be reckoned with when it comes to beating cancer, including breast cancer.

Many healthy foods, such as bitter almonds, millet, sprouts, lima beans, spinach and bamboo shoots, actually have quantities of cyanide in them, yet they are still safe to eat. This is because the cyanide remains “locked” within the substance and is therefore harmless when bound within other molecular formations. In addition, rhodanese is an enzyme in the body whose job is to “catch” any free cyanide molecules that may have escaped and render them harmless.

Cancer cells are not normal cells, however; they contain beta-glucosidase, which healthy cells do not. Beta-glucosidase is also the “unlocking enzyme” for the cyanide and benzaldehyde in amygdalin molecules. When the beta-glucosidase in a cancer cell unlocks an amygdalin molecule, a toxic synergy is created that specifically targets cancer cells. With the help of rhodanese and other protective enzymes, healthy cells are not jeopardized by this process.

Laetrile: A Potentially Powerful Cancer Therapy

Laetrile was readily obtainable prior to 1971 when the FDA banned it in the US. Although it is not impossible to obtain laetrile, these days apricot kernels are the easiest way to ingest amygdalin. They are easy to obtain at health food stores or online and are also fairly inexpensive.

Clinics exist outside of the US where B17 or laetrile therapy is still administered.Laetrile is often used in addition to other therapies such as sodium bicarbonate.4

If you feel that B17 therapy is the way to go for you, be sure to get the facts about dosage and possible side effects. Talk to your integrated medical practitioner about your particular situation.

While the mystery may remain as to the main cause for the Hunza’s amazing vitality, one thing is for certain: their simple and stress-free way of eating, working, interacting and moving their bodies have made them examples of the health that YOU are capable of having when you take proactive steps to heal your body naturally.

And that’s exactly what happens to your blood sugar levels when you eat one of these nutrition landmines when you’re hungry.

And for more amazing ways to blast fat fast, don’t miss these 40 Best Foods to Melt Love Handles!

1. Cheese

It all goes back to when we were tiny babies. “Humans are programmed to have an opioid (opiate-like) response to a protein found in milk (casein) so that infants will continue their desire to consume adequate amounts of their mother’s milk,” explains Julieanna Hever, MS, RD, CPT, a plant-based dietitian and author of The Vegiterranean Diet andThe Complete Idiot’s Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition. “Cheese, which is a concentrated form of milk, also induces this effect. These protein compounds, called casomorphins, combined with the high amount of fat and salt are what is responsible for the popular obsession with cheese. Thus, the more you have, the more you crave—as devised by nature.” Need more info? Learn more about the health benefits of giving up dairy.

2. Juice

“Although juicing and juice cleanses are highly popular right now, the process used to make juice strips the most filling nutrient - fiber - from the sugary liquid,” explains Janel Funk, MS RD LDN. “This leaves you with a calorie-containing beverage that spikes your blood sugar, leading to a crash that leaves you hungrier. Studies have shown that our bodies aren’t any more satiated with the calories in juice as opposed to those from food, so stick with water for thirst and hydration and eat whole fruits and vegetables with their fiber intact.” If you’re craving something to drink and not a snack, try this idea from Rebecca Lewis, RD for HelloFresh: “Blend the fruits and veggies that you were planning on juicing. If you can’t get past all the pulp, try adding some protein powder or a nut butter. The added protein and fat act in a similar way to fiber in slowing down the absorption of the foods into your bloodstream.” For 100+ filling, creamy and delicious weight-loss smoothie recipes, click here for Zero Belly Smoothies!

3. Low-Fat Yogurts

“While yogurt is constantly promoted as a super healthy food, it truly depends on which one you choose to keep you full,” shares Nutritionist Kayleen St. John, RD at Natural Gourmet Institute, a health-supportive cooking school in New York City. “A typical 6-ounce fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt clocks in at 150 calories, 6 grams protein, 1.5 grams fat and around 25 grams sugar. The higher carbohydrate load and very low-fat content will keep you looking for more to eat, even after your last spoonful.” Instead, opt for a plain Greek-style yogurt that has twice the protein, and add your own fruit, nuts and seeds for additional fiber and antioxidants. Hayim adds: “These foods, which are often touted as healthy snacks, do not satisfy us and do not require mastication. Without mastication, our body often times does not feel satisfied as it would be compared to foods that require chewing. The tiny pre-portioned cups also set us up for disaster, and leave us wanting more solid foods.” Find out if your go-to yogurt makes the cut with the 11 best and worst Greek yogurts for weight loss.

4. Egg Whites

“There’s a reason you may feel hungry soon after your morning egg white omelet. While egg whites are a good source of protein, a great deal of the beneficial fats, vitamins and minerals lie within the egg’s yolk, and a 2010 meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported saturated fat was not associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke or coronary vascular disease,” shares St. John. “The saturated fat in egg yolks not only adds to satiety but is necessary for hormone production and the body’s absorption of some vitamins and minerals. The vitamin A (great for skin and your immune system), B vitamins for energy, and choline, which is supportive of brain and muscle health.” We’ll raise our protein shake to St.John’s healthy pilgrimage to bring egg yolks back in style for dieters.

5. Fat-Free Salad Dressings

“When we grab for the fat-free bottle, we think we are making the good choice,” says Lisa Hayim, registered dietitian and founder of The Well Necessities. Not the case. “These fat-free salads dressings can be loaded with salt and sugar to give them flavor. We end up pouring on more, making sure each piece of lettuce in our salad is doused. After the salad is over, the salt and sugar make you feel unsatisfied and craving more.” Exactly what the salad dressing company is hoping for, but not your flat belly diet.

6. Foods Labeled “Healthy”

“We tend to overeat those foods labeled healthy, according to a recent report published in the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research,” cautions St.John. “This tends to make people order larger portions and feel less full after eating foods touted as healthy. The exact reason behind it is unclear, but likely has to do with subconsciously programming ourselves to relate unhealthy foods to satiety.” Be wary of those label claims, and always check the ingredient list before you buy (Check out 8 ingredients you never want to see on your nutrition labels!).

7. Sugar

Sugar and all of its counterparts (from artificial sweeteners to organic cane sugar and everything in between) are highly addictive because of its associated heightened dopamine release. “Given the fact that we are evolutionarily designed to seek out sweetness in order to survive and that highly concentrated sources of sugar are omnipresent in endless quantities, sugar addiction has become increasingly prevalent and a huge contributor to our current global healthcare crisis,” comments Hever. “Refined and processed sweeteners are unrelenting in their ability to entice you to overeat and yet, don’t provide satiation, satiety, or nourishment.” Don’t swear off fruit, though: “Whole food sources of sugar, such as fruit, is different because fruit maintains its fiber and nutrients. That’s why you can swiftly consume a couple of candy bars or drink a huge cup of juice without feeling full, but eating 10 apples or pears would be challenging,” she adds.

8. Granola Bars

“Traditional granola bars are often made of just sugar and hydrogenated oils and are void of protein (the stuff that fills you up),” shares Hayim. “They are often lower in calories than a traditional meal and do not serve as a meal replacement. The flavor is just enough to whet your appetite, but leaves you far from satiated.” Wanna fuel up without hunger pangs? Try one of these 7 protein bar recipes for weight loss.

9. Ketchup

Think twice before smothering this naughty condiment on your baked sweet potato fries or mixing with your breakfast egg dish. “Ketchup, or any food made with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), can make your appetite continue to grow stronger. HFCS interrupts the body’s metabolism and slows down the production of leptin (which helps us feel full). As a result, there is no message being sent to body that you’re full and that it’s time to stop eating,” warns Hayim.

10. Muffins

“Ever stuff yourself with a giant blueberry muffin, only to find you were hungry right after?” asks Hayim. Been there, done that. “Although it can be loaded with calories, it is made almost completely of sugar. This sugar is rapidly digested and absorbed, leaving your body starved for more.” Yikes!

11. Sugary Cereals

“Many sugar-sweetened cereals are void of fiber and protein, two nutrients you need first thing in the morning to keep your blood sugar stable and avoid a mid-morning hunger crash,” comments Funk. “Pairing your sugary cereal with fat-free milk means you’re missing out on satiating fat to keep you full as well. Look for cereals with more than five grams of naturally occurring fiber per serving, and don’t skimp on the fat or protein. Watch out for diet-friendly, low-calorie cereals, too. Even if they’re low in sugar and calories, they tend to be low in fiber and protein as well,” she advises. Try one of the 11 best cereals for weight loss!

12. Refined Grains

AKA white bread, crackers, etc. “Fiber plus water equals ‘bulk,’” offers Hever. “In your diet, bulk from fiber-rich whole foods promotes satiation and satiety. Because fiber is stripped away when refined, these foods can easily be eaten in excess. This is why chewing your way through a bread basket is way easier than finishing off a bucket of brown rice.” Love bread? We know, we know, us too. So here are 20 Secrets for Eating Bread Without Getting Fat.

13. Salty Snacks

“It’s true that you can never eat just one. That’s because salty snacks contain excessive amounts of sodium, and are often devoid of fiber or protein,” says St. John. “The high-salt content of these foods is dehydrating, and can trick your body into eating more of the snack instead of reaching for a glass of water. The lack of protein and fiber means that the snack is carbohydrate-heavy and unbalanced, leading to an inevitable blood sugar spike.” Hayim chimes in: “Brain scans show that sodium triggers dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with pleasure. That means the more salt you eat, the more you want it!”

14. Artificial Sweeteners

Now here’s a category of food you should swear off altogether. And remember, just because it’s “sugar-free” doesn’t give you license to dive in. Always check a label to see if artificial sweeteners were slipped in. “Artificial sweeteners trick your brain into thinking it is getting a pleasurable food. When you don’t eat the real thing and your body is expecting it, you’re likely to be left craving that sugary food even more,” comments Funk. Added reason to stay away? Artificial sweeteners can lead to abdominal pain and discomfort.

15. Chinese Food

You’re not imagining things when you think that you’re hungrier than before eating after chowing down on that chow mien. “Chinese food is often loaded with MSG. Monosodium glutamate is used as a flavor enhancer and is found in other types of food such as soups, processed meats, and more. Some research suggests that the chemicals in MSG cause a drastic increase in appetite, which seems appropriate as people who consume the most amounts of MSG are more likely to be overweight compared to those that have no MSG in their diet,” warns Hayim.

16. Store-Bought Soups

True or false: Soups can be a huge win for fast, effective weight loss. True, when you’re making your soup from scratch (Need inspo? Check out the 20 Best-Ever Fat-Burning Soups. When you’re picking it up at the grocery store? Typically not the case. “Soups oftentimes contain more sodium than any other food. The sodium in these [seemingly harmless cans] causes that feeling of addiction and wanting more and more,” states Hayim.

17. Chewing Gum

“Many dieters try chewing gum to take their mind off eating food. Unfortunately, this trick doesn’t usually work,” comments Hayim. Pen chewers ought to listen up: “The chewing action actually tricks your body that food is coming down, which means that gastric juices are prepared in the stomach. When no food comes down, the stomach begins to churn with nothing in it. Not only does it cause pain, but also makes you more conscious of your need to eat.”

18. Low-Fiber Foods

“Many of the foods that cause us to be hungry right after we’ve eaten them are overly processed, refined, and stripped of the benefits of fiber,” says Lewis. “And why is fiber so important? Because fiber is what slows the absorption of the foods we eat from the stomach into the bloodstream. When foods are low in or fiber-less, they travel quickly through the stomach and into our blood causing that crazy blood insulin spike. Insulin is released in order to start the digestive process and remove the sugars from the blood (where if they remain becomes dangerous). So eating foods that speed up the insulin response are the ones that end up making us hungrier in the long-term.” Make sure your kitchen is stocked with the 11 Best High-Fiber Foods for Weight Loss, pronto!

19. Bagels and Croissants

“Although both of these options appear to be nice in size and satisfying, they are made up of white sugar and flour. They have no fiber or nutrients,” says Hayim. “As a result, your blood sugar leaps high and then comes crashing down, causing you to feel hungrier than before you started these treats.” Need another reason to give up bagels? Did we mention they can contain human hair in the form of L. Cysteine?

20. Fruit Smoothies

If you like pina coladas and getting lost in a calorie-bombed blender vortex, go right ahead. Everyone else? Skip ‘em. “When smoothies have no protein or vegetables, they are just fructose. The result is a rapid rise in blood sugar, followed by a crash. In addition, they are usually too low in calories to actually fill you up, compelling you to want more food after,” suggests Hayim. Instead, opt for one of these 56 slimming smoothies we can’t get enough of ASAP.

21. Alcohol

Okay, we know, we know. It’s not a food. But it’s worth a reminder that it will seriously spike your hunger: “Our bodies have no capacity to store alcohol (unlike our unlimited capacity to store fat). The process of removing alcohol from our body causes us to quickly run through our storage of glycogen (which comes mostly from carbs). So when we drink in excess (more than 2 drinks for women and more than 3 drinks for men), we crave carbs to replace the stores of glycogen lost to alcohol,” explains Lewis. “Sadly, with the impaired judgment alcohol also causes – those cravings are often for the wrong type of carbs; simple, processed, and fried.” Drink in moderation, and if cravings strike after one too many, “Reach for healthy, complex carbs (like nuts and seeds) available for that late night snack attack.”

22. Drive-Thru Fast Foods

Keep on driving right along if you want to hold on to that flat belly bodyyou’ve worked so hard for. “These highly processed foods are filled with things like preservatives, trans fats, HFCS, and salt. The reason you should care about this is because preservatives and trans fats interrupt our stomach’s ability to communicate with our brain,” explains Lewis. “Satiety related hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain aren’t produced, and therefore, the brain loses its ability to recognize that we are full, so we just keep eating more. And all that added salt in fast food causes our bodies to retain water – making us feel dehydrated and bloated.Often when we think we are hungry, it is really just our bodies reminding us to rehydrate!”

23. Foods You Can Easily Overeat

“Overeating leads to more overeating. Excessive consumption of calorie-dense foods stimulates a response in your brain similar to opiates, promoting addictive behavior, says Hever. Try one of the best foods to combat overeating, or seek professional help if you think you may suffer from an overeating issue.

24. Doughnuts

If we had a dollar for every gorgeously-styled doughnut we saw on Instagram, we’d probably have ten free Crossfit classes. Don’t be lured in, even by healthier-sounding ones (a vegan doughnut can still be deep-fried and filled with sugar). “It’s no surprise doughnuts are made completely out of sugar. Doughnuts break down into sugars, causing the boy to release more insulin. When there is a lot of insulin, too much of the sugar enters your cells, leaving none for your blood. The result is actually a low blood sugar that makes you feel hungry shortly after consumption.” C’mon, that’s why they have all the dozen deals, anyways. Steer clear.

25. Your Craving’s Wannabe Twin

Ever wonder how a simple craving that’s super specific can sometimes spiral out of control when you reach for something else? “If you are craving something and then try to quell that craving with something else, you are likely going to continue searching for the original food you desired,” says Hever. “Thus, it is usually better in the long run to have a small serving of whatever it is you want so you can move on with your day. In other words, if you really want chocolate, have a square of dark chocolate instead of eating low-fat chocolate ice cream.”
