Yesterday we brought up enhanced water and granola bars…foods you thought were good and are not!
Part two of some other food myths!
Protein bars. Protein bars don’t fall far from the granola-bar-tree. They are often ultra-high in calories and sugar. Instead opt for a high-density protein like a chicken breast or hard boiled egg.
Low Fat Foods. Think twice before skipping the fat or choosing the “low fat” option. While cutting some fat, like unhealthy trans fats, could help weight loss, we may miss out on some big benefits from healthy fats, like omega-3 fats, which aid in weigh loss, boost cognitive brain function and reduce inflammation. Not to mention when the fat is removed from any food, it is usually replaced with sugar or carbs.
