We must be really mindful of what we put into our bodies, especially if you want to loose weight. Most of us are on the go and we look for quick meals and snacks. But, beware. Quick and easy foods are not always healthy. Below, you will find 4 foods that many believe to be healthy, but are not.
1. Whole Wheat Crackers - Whole wheat crackers are heavily processed and are generally composed of a long list of artificial ingredients. They also contain loads of inflammation-promoting gluten, and many popular brands are also loaded with partially hydrogenated oils (aka trans fats). This even applies to 100% Whole Wheat crackers, so don't be fooled by all the "heart healthy" health claims. Make no mistake, whole wheat crackers are a bad choice for your health and your fat loss goals.
2. Most Protein Bars - Most protein bars are nothing more than glorified candy bars. Full of artificial, damaging ingredients, cheap protein, and loads of sugar, the vast array of protein bars on the market fail to make the cut for a healthy snack.
3. Fruit Smoothies - We're not talking about homemade fruit smoothies, but rather the sugar-laden, syrup-derived, so-called fruit smoothies that you'll find at your local smoothie shop. Some of them have upwards of 75 grams of sugar in a small smoothie - yikes!
4. Granola Bars - Somewhere along the line we were all taught that granola bars are healthy. Why or how, I'm not sure. They're high carb, high sugar, low protein, and fail to provide any truly "healthy" ingredients whatsoever.
