We all aim to stay healthy, so the goal is to eat healthy. With this age of people being over conscious of food, we monitor the calorie intakes, the kind of food we eat, the portion of fibre and everything else. But then during the snacking hours, we consume food that we think is healthy for us, but that is not true in reality. Here is the myth buster list of foods that aren’t healthy for you.
Smoothies and Protein Shakes
All fitness addicts consume loads of these drinks thinking that they help to control the diet and keep you full. Well that is far from the truth. Smoothies and protein shakes contain about 400 calories that is good enough to disrupt your diet.
Frozen Yoghurt
Fresh Yoghurt is a delight, but Frozen isn’t. The Frozen Yoghurt doesn’t have any live culture that is good for your colon. Also, the taste of frozen yoghurt is not marketable, so producers or manufacturers often add loads of sugar to it. That in itself is good enough to ruin your diet.
Dried Fruits
Packed with fiber and vitamins, this one is great in essential nutrients. But since they are sweeter than fruits, often they are overeaten, which can disrupt the diet completely.
Packaged Diet Food
Cookies or chips which claim to help you diet often have additives that will make you gain weight.
Diet Soda
Diet soda never helps anyone lose weight, rather it will make you gain weight. It also increases blood sugar levels.
Sweeteners
Replacing your sugar with these chemical compounds isn’t a great idea, because they will lead to gaining weight.
Protein Bars
People take this for instant energy, but often don’t know that they are loaded with calories.
