When trying to lose weight or be healthier, people often turn to healthier food choices. However, it turns out that some commonly depended on "diet" or "health" foods aren't so healthy.
For example:
- Some reduced fat foods add extra salt or sugar to help "enhance flavor".
- Fruit or yogurt smoothies are often high in calories & sugar (some natural plus some products add in more).
- Ever eaten a whole sleeve of rice cakes (& still felt hungry)? With no fiber, protein, or nutrients, they are essentially empty calories. Some flavors have lots of sugar, too.
- Many reduced-fat pre-made muffins can have 500 calories & double digit grams of fat (eerily similar to some donuts).
