8 Foods That Are Deceiving You

Your rule from now on will be burn the fat, feed the muscles. It is incredibly important that a minimum of 90% of your diet comes from whole, healthy foods. Basically, just anything that DOES NOT come out of a box or tin qualifies for this. Mathematically speaking, if you work it out, if you eat 6 healthy meals/day for a week, that allows you to have 4 junk meals/week.

Now a lot of people think they’re eating healthily, but they’re just not. Food is deceiving, and the companies behind the food are even more deceiving. Here’s 8 foods you probably thought were healthy. But just aren’t.

1. Diet Coladiet_coke_by_eurasianrose86

These diet colas seem amazing, what with their 1 calorie per 500ml and what not, but in reality, they contain a mass of artificial sweeteners, which are often the topic of controversy, due to their side effects.

Anything with a side effect worth talking about is definitely not worth drinking.

2. Bread

Bread seems great – light, convenient and tasty. Plus, you used to eat it all the time as a kid. Wrong. Even if it’s wheat or whole-grain, it still means nothing. What’s worse, dark breads can contain nasty things like syrup and trans-fats. To be quite frank, bread will make you FAT.

3.Fruit Juice

You’d think that just because it says it’s 100% pure fruit juice, it’s going to be the equivalent of freshly-squeezed. Untrue. Even those 100% usually have added sugars. And, by now, you must have figured out that:

Sugar = Bad

4. Cerealsp10cereal2eps

So many cereals nowadays are being advertised as ‘healthy’ and ‘the best way to lose fat’. In re ality, they are loaded with salt and sugar, and, the majority of the time, all the minerals and vitamins provided are chemical based. Try something else for breakfast, because cereal is a bad choice.

5. Sport Drinks

They’re meant to ‘boost your energy’ and ‘make you faster’. More lies. What exactly is Red Bull you might ask. Sugared water. What use can you find from sugared water?

6. Granola Bars

Okay, so granola bars do look pretty damn healthy, being mainly made out of nuts and seeds and all that good stuff. However, did you ever think about what’s sticking it all together? That’s right – syrup. And then you get other bars – some even have chocolate chips – which are just as bad as real chocolate bars. Plus, they taste pretty damn bad.

7.

Salads from McDonald’s (Or fast food equivalent)

The actual salads themselves aren’t even particularly unhealthy. They’re pretty much fine. Now, the dressing on the other hand, is not only sugar and fat laden, but also contains multiple colouring and additives, which, in all honesty, just cannot be good for your body. You’re probably better off eating a big mac.
