Do you think you are a healthy eater? Some foods we think are good for us, are far from healthy!
I always say that if the ingredients list is long, put the item down. Eat fresh, pure, unprocessed, local foods and I promise, you will feel great, lose weight and overall be healthier.
Here are five items that you should never put into your shopping cart.
Packaged breakfast cereals - Check for excess sugar and sodium, and a lack of fiber. They are labeled for healthy weight loss; usually their nutrients are laden with chemicals.
Go for Instant Oatmeal (plain) and add fresh fruit.
Whole Grain or Whole Wheat Bread - Their darker color generally means nothing. If the label does not say "whole grain," who knows what you are really getting.
Go for Ezekiel Bread.
Deli meats - Most of these are loaded with sodium.
Go for a chicken breast you make yourself or a can of tuna fish.
Sports drinks - They say they replace electrolytes, generally that just means sugar.
Go for water and have some fruit and a protein after your workout.
Frozen Meals – These are processed meals, and are loaded with sugar and salt. There is absolutely no shame in eating frozen fruits and vegetables; however, these processed prepared meals are the wrong choice.
Go for preparing your own meals, on weekend or the night before then you are stocked for the week.
