“Healthy” foods that really aren’t
Doing all the right things and still not losing weight?
The devil may be in your dish.
Check out HuffPost‘s list of common “health foods” that dieticians and nutritionists say aren’t always as healthy as you think:
- Granola bars It’s true that there are granola bars with whole grains, nuts, and dried fruits but some also contain high amounts of sugar, refined grains, hydrogenated oils and artificial flavorings and colors.
- Flavored yogurt Plain yogurt can be a high-protein, low-calorie option but the ones filled with sugar, artificial sweeteners and candy? Not so much.
- Fruit Juice Store-bought fruit juice usually contains extra sugar and other additives…it’s better to just eat a piece of fruit.
- “Organic” snack foods The “organic” stamp on anything makes you think it’s a healthier version but cookies, chips and other snacks labeled “organic” often have just as much sugar, unhealthy fats and calories as non-organic versions.
Who knew? Now YOU do!
