3
"Healthy" Foods NOT to Eat
There are three
foods that are labeled "healthy," but for
the reasons I'll outline below, you should stay away
from.
Food #1: Fruit Juices like Orange Juice and Apple Juice
Sure they contain vitamin C and may come from real
fruit, but the fact of the matter is, they are loaded
with sugar! Yes, it's natural sugar, but it's still
sugar- and we all know sugar turns to fat. They now
have fruit juices with half the sugar- give them a try
instead- they actually taste pretty good.
Food #2: Energy/Protein/Meal bars like Balance Bars
Some claim to have the perfect ratio of protein, fat
and carbohydrates- and they do. Some just claim to be
a good meal replacement bar because they contain fat
and protein, and vitamins and minerals- and they do.
But if you take a look at the label of most bars, you'll
see high fructose corn syrup, sugar and in some bars
fractionated oils. It's so self-defeating, it blows
my mind. Go with bars that have healthy ingredients
such as Clif bars, Luna Bars and Odwalla bars.
Food #3: Most Breakfast Cereals
The reason I say most breakfast cereals is because
there are some that you should eat and I'll mention
those in a bit. Most cereals claim to have whole grains,
vitamins and minerals- and they do- but they also contain
tons of sugar and processed, unhealthy ingredients.
Reading the ingredients label will tell you all you
need to know. Kashi cereal is what I recommend.
They have a line of about 10 different cereals and
they are all made of healthy ingredients. And yes, they
taste pretty good.
