10 High-Fat Foods to Remove from Your Diet Immediately

9. Popcorn with Butter

Popcorn is one of those snack foods that doesn't have to be as unhealthy as it often is. Consider movie popcorn, utterly drowning in butter (or fake butter) and salt. Add in the extra-large serving and, likely, the jumbo-sized soda pop, and the nutritional info is enough to have you packing carrot sticks for your next action flick, but it's the additions, not the base product, that's causing the problem in this case.

Popcorn itself, unseasoned, is quite innocuous, and making it the traditional way with a couple tablespoons of oil or using a spritzer rather than drizzling butter over it, can cut the fat content tremendously. Seasonings like chili powder and nutritional yeast can deliver intense flavor without the sodium, and keeping servings to 4 cups or so helps, too. You might even find you're a fan of plain popcorn, which makes a great midday snack.
