You may have given up whole fat foods long ago, and avoid sugar-rich foods. Some foods seem healthy from food labels, not to mention healthy food may not be healthy for you. Here are 9 famous healthy foods. Let us help you expose their masks and propose the right way to eat.
1. Baked potato chips: Because you are not full, eat a lot at once
Yes, they are not high in fat, but they are still high in calories and have low nutritional value. Baked potato chips don't contain any fiber. I still don't feel full after eating a lot.
Smart alternative: popcorn
You also gain fiber when you consume salt and calories, and a cup of popcorn contains 65% fewer calories than baked potato chips. You can choose microwave-baked popcorn and fry it in olive oil instead of peanut oil.
Bonus points: Popcorn contains more whole grain grains, more in line with the definition of healthy food.
2. Gummy candy: Fructose syrup causes obesity
This candy contains fruit juice and vitamins added with saccharin. Some people say that eating gum candies can help you slim your face, but it also contains fructose syrup, which often leads to obesity.
Smart alternative: fresh fruit or preserved fruit
They all contain saturated fiber, a nutrient that gum candy lacks.
Bonus points: Fruits are rich in antioxidants, which can make your body younger and improve metabolism. Ice cream: Eating a lot is not enough
Light ice cream contains fewer calories than regular ice cream, but it is not a guarantee of weight loss. Half a cup of Haagen Dazs light ice cream contains 220 calories, which is still more calories than regular ice cream.
3. The taste of light ice cream is light, so you feel dissatisfied if you eat a lot.
Smart alternatives: soy milk and low-fat milk
They minimize calories, and their taste is rich in milk and moisturize, comparable to ice cream.
Bonus points: Rich in fiber, it can eliminate the body's bacterial content and help the body absorb calcium and iron.
4. sugar-free soda: May contain ingredients that cause heart disease
A study suggests that diet soda may be linked to heart disease, but it is unclear which component of diet soda causes heart disease. But I believe that no one will risk heart disease to continue to lose weight.
Smart alternative: distilled water
It contains 0 calories and does not contain artificial sweeteners. Or choose freshly squeezed juice. Adding distilled water to freshly squeezed juice is also a good choice!
Bonus points: Water plays a key role in body functions, and choosing the freshest water can keep the body in a highly hydrated state.
5. Fat-free salad dressing: also sugar and higher calories
Fat-free salad dressings contain sugar and may still contain higher calories. Moreover, if the salad is completely free of fat, it will reduce the body's absorption of vitamins A, D and E.
Smart alternative: unsaturated oils
Choose sauces and ingredients from olive oil, coconut oil, sour vinegar and spice crop salads to promote the body's absorption of vitamins.
Bonus points: It protects vision, and greased salad helps vision.
6. Weight loss cookies: Generally add too much sugar
Diet cookies are very popular nowadays because they contain less fat. However, these cookies are generally added with excessive sugar, which makes the calories of diet cookies actually similar to ordinary cookies.
Smart alternative: oatmeal cookies
When you want to eat cookies, it's best to choose whole-wheat cookies, such as oatmeal cookies. Don't choose oatmeal cookies with syrup added, or cookies made with white flour, choose ones made with whole wheat flour.
Bonus points: It effectively lowers cholesterol, and the fiber contained in oats prevents your body from absorbing too much cholesterol.
7. Spinach rolls: Contains coloring additives
Looks healthy and good for your body, right? But spinach rolls are made of fine flour, and the attractive green surface is mostly caused by coloring additives. Spinach rolls cannot be called a vegetable food because they do not contain vitamin A and vitamin C.
Smart alternative: 100% whole wheat bread
Choose whole wheat bread. You can pay attention to the food label of the bread. Bread that says 100% whole wheat is the best choice.
Bonus points: It can effectively reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes, and make your body stronger.
8. Vitamin water: Long-term drinking will inevitably gain weight
Yes, it contains vitamins, but a bottle of vitamin water has 200 calories. If you drink one bottle a day, you will gain more than ten kilograms in a year.
Smart alternative: mineral water
Although, without flavor or artificial additives, mineral water can meet your taste buds.
Bonus points: The most common water provides exactly the most important substance in the human body: water. Drinking water honestly can effectively expel toxins.
9. Pretzels: Contains a lot of carbohydrates
Pretzels may be labeled "fat-free" on the packaging bag, making them a good alternative to potato chips. But they are made of fine flour and contain a lot of carbohydrates, and 200 grams of pretzels is equal to the carbohydrate content of 10 slices of white bread.
Smart alternative: biscuits containing crushed nuts
Sunflower seeds or other crushed nuts are not only chewy, but also easy to fill. They contain not only fiber but also protein.
Bonus points: Sunflower seeds will flatten your abdomen because the unsaturated fatty acids they contain can effectively burn abdominal fat. (Editor in charge: Yang Miao Intern Editor: Yan Yugeng)
