When it comes to nutrition, most people are vastly undereducated. The amount of people I've dealt with in my life who had no concept about healthy eating is mind boggling. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that eating to much is bad for you, or that eating unhealthy foods is a great way to pack on the pounds. For many people, the more they eat, the more cellulite they get on their hips (among other places). I've put together a list of foods that you should avoid. Some of these foods may surprise you, because they are often touted as being healthy. First up are a couple of common drinks.
That's right. Both orange juice and apple juice contain sugar.
Lots of sugar. So much sugar, in fact, that routinely enjoying a glass of either can and will pack on the pounds. This also includes "no sugar added" variants. The problem with oranges and apples is that they both contain naturally occurring sugars. And natural or not, sugar equals body fat. Replace your glass of orange juice or apple juice with a glass of water instead. The idea is not to necessarily reduce the calories from the orange/apple juice, but to ge them from healthier sources that aren't loaded with sugar. Up next is foods.
This may sound simple, but when you see a product labeled as "low fat", you are being suckered into a false advertising scheme. Low fat doesn't mean anything. Dietary fat levels have no bearing on body fat levels. Just because a product has "low fat" doesn't mean it isn't loaded with other unhealthy carbohydrates or sugars. The "low fat" marketing technique plays into people's idea that fat in food = fat in body. It couldn't be any further from the truth. Much like "eggs make your cholestrol go up", "low fat" is a scam that's been suckering people into staying fat for far to long.
