A stroll in a super market on a regular basis helps us to spot a lot of “health foods”. A lot of low cal, low fat options are available. But are they really what they promise!!!
Lets have a look at few of them
- Low calorie ice creams- These usually are filled with artificial sweeteners and a long list of preservatives.They differ in very few calories from the real ones. Stay away from them
- Low fat oils- The joke of the century. All oils have the same calories and differ only in the kind of fats.
- Diet coke- Another hoax and no better than the real coke. Just filled with artificial sweeteners and colour.
- Baked potato chips- I have seen people fill their carts with these. They may be lower in calories but are low in fiber and nutrients.
- Low fat cookies- These are filled with starch fillers to compensate for the creamy texture. Do you have the time to compare the calories?
- Low fat yogurt- Yogurt made of 3% fat is 60 calories, while the low fat version contains 54 calories. Why pay more for 6 calories? Better off eating the real version.
Hence all that are low fat and low cal are not healthy.
OK there are a few products which are beneficial such as low fat milk. So get smarter and diet better…
