20 Unhealthy Foods That You Think Are Healthy But Are Actually Killing You Slowly
There are many terms that are misleading in the food advertising industry today. Think of how many times you see the following phrases plastered all over food containers:
◦Fat Free
◦Reduced Fat
◦Low Fat
◦Sugar Free
◦No Added
Sugar
◦Diet
We are supposed to believe that each of these categories makes a food
healthier. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Here is what
these phrases actually translate to:
◦Fat free, but full of sugar and chemicals.
◦Reduced fat, but
increased carbohydrates.
◦Low fat, but high glycemic index.
◦Sugar free,
but artificial everything else.
◦No added sugar… because the all natural
version has enough sugar to give you type II diabetes anyway.
◦“Diet” food,
but it causes cancer in lab rats so don’t drink/eat too much of it.
The less processed the food the better it is for you to eat. so shop the main areas of the store produce, meats, bread, dairy etc. buy less items that are premade and full of salt corn syrup and words you cannot pronounce .
Buy frozen veggies if the fresh veggies are to expensive. use brown rice not white rice
and whole grain cereals that are low in sugar. Fiber rich foods will keep you fuller while you diet, foods like beans apples and whole grain bread ,they even have healthier spaghetti available for just a little more money.
wake up america
let’s get angry and fight back
i have been out of the country for about 3 ½ years now and i am ashamed to say i dread coming back to usa, my home land, for fear what driving past fast food places do to me.
i am angry now, and so should all of you be.
it’s ashame what our country has done to us.
i know people from this part of the world think americans are too fat. and sad to say there is a lot of truth to that. americans are overweight and even morbidly obese.
we as americans have a free will and choice but admittingly there is a lot of temptations out there making us weak and make it so hard to avoid.
in the uk. people have to travel for about ½ hour to a fast food place.and even then it is only open till 8 to 9 o’clock.
donuts,pancakes, for breakfast? omg!!! says the europeans.
even the selection of what americans have is way too much. what happened to pure and simple?
well it’s time for americans to fight back.
1. drive past fast food places . even resturants…go only once or twice a year.
btw do you know who is really preparing your food….hmmmmm
2. if you don’t stop at any fast food places maybe…somehow they will get the hint people arent eating there anymore and shut.
well if everyone tries to work hard at fighting the temptations we could start at having a healthier country…
this is the only way to go, to show these fast food places we have control and not them.
those out there saying they only stop on ocasions then great for you …you have started the ball rolling….keep it going…and those that say they have control not to stop, great to you also…but there are the ones out there that don’t have the will power as powerful as your’s , so let’s work together please.
i know there is no excuses, but you on the other side of the world havnt had it happen to you yet…
look out when they start putting a fast food place on every corner…and staying open till all hours in the morning…
and your countries are not without some overweight people. even mobidly obese. you do have some there...

Some of the main concepts that I believe truly work and are backed up with scientific information are
1. NOT all carbs are bad for you! Carbs are a necessity, in fact! but it is the carbs you choose that count. Brown rice, whole grains, 100% whole wheat, fruits and veggies are all considered complex carbs, and are all extremely healthy and give you energy. (Steer clear of white bread, white pasta and processed cookies and crackers). The reason they are bad is because they spike glucose levels and once they drop you crave more food. This is the vicious cycle that makes some people gain weight. So stick to whole grains!
2. Skipping meals will not help you lose weight. Eventually, after skipping meals and letting yourself purposefully go hungry, your body goes into starvation mode and begins to store fat. It has been proven that just by making sure you eat breakfast every morning, you will speed up your metabolism and in turn burn calories and eventually lose weight. If fact, one of the best diet regimens is simply to eat more (and i mean nutritious food). By eating about 5 smaller meals a day, as opposed to 3 large meals, you speed up your metabolism. Once your metabolism is up to par, you can have the occasional splurge without gaining any weight. This way on the weekend when you family comes over with homemade chocolate chip cookies, you can have a a couple and not have to worry about off-setting your diet.
3. and the last key component, and it is definitely not the least important, is a combination of cardio and STRENGTH TRAINING!.. Something most people do not realize is when you diet without including some form of workout, you are losing more than just fat, you are losing muscle mass. Your body begins to eat away at the muscle tissue. Muscle is extremely important because it burns calories and maintains and efficient metabolism. So late at night, hours after your workout when you laying in bed watching a movie, your body is still burning calories! *After all, there are so many health benefits from working out, you would be silly and naive not to do so.
strength training=muscle mass=increased metabolism = burn more calories=store less fat
* "A diet consists of a beginning and an end, whereas adopting healthy eating habits can be maintained for a lifetime!" - Me
