Salt and sugar are not compatible for weight loss or for diet . While salt is responsible for fluid retention,  excess sugar consumption increases insulin levels.

At present, many foods with a high glycemic index are consumed, such as carbohydrates from refined grains (for example, industrial bakery) and sugar. These foods cause hyperglycemia to occur and, consequently, we have a peak of energy and then an increase in hunger. Therefore, the consumption of slow-absorbing carbohydrates (for example, brown rice) that keeps us sated for longer is recommended.

There is a lot of marketing behind the light products. However, an investigation by the National Obesity Forum and the Public Health Collaboration (institutions in the United Kingdom) states that frequent consumption of these low-calorie foods can produce as much or as much as they can. Therefore, as far as possible, it is better to avoid them.
