4 Foods that are Passed off as Healthy

If you eat in uncontrolled portions, any food can make you fat, however, there are several foods that are making you fat and you don't know it . For this reason I invite you to discover them so that you have better results when losing or maintaining your weight. There are many food products that are marketed as “healthy” but when you look at the label and read the ingredients, your credibility is lost. Below, we've identified several foods that you should cut out or eat in moderation to avoid gaining weight.

1. Juices

There are many of us who believe that games are super healthy because it is the equivalent of eating a piece of fruit; this is completely false . Juices contain large amounts of sugar, some contain highly processed additives such as corn syrup, better known as "high fructose corn syrup." Also, juices are usually suggested to be made of a specific flavor, but usually the flavor is artificial . You can check the percentage of "fruit juice" in the drinks and you will see the great deception of these products; drink water.

2. Agave Nectar
One of the latest trends is to change the sweetener to cut calories. Recently, agave has become popular as an ideal sweetener for diabetics, because it has a low glycemic load level. However, a tablespoon of agave has 20 more calories than a tablespoon of regular sugar. In addition, there is no scientific evidence that this type of sweetener is actually better for you, in any case it will make you gain weight a little faster than regular sugar.

3. Red Meats and Sausages
Everything in excess is harmful then and that does not exclude red and processed meats. This includes pork and beef. Processed, raw, and red meats can be unhealthy. However, there are healthy and delicious alternatives such as lean meats, turkey, chicken and fish.

4. Salad Dressings
It is very likely that you like salad with lots of cheese, dressing and croutons, but let's stop for a moment and create mischief with what we eat. Dressings are necessary to absorb nutrients in salads, however, if you choose the wrong dressing, you are taking away the “healthy” element from your plate . Dressings and vinaigrettes are high in saturated fats, carbohydrates, and sugars. Choose to mix virgin olive oil, white vinegar, salt and pepper. This combination will highlight much healthier and enhances the flavor of food. In addition, they are ingredients that are already present in your home, you save money by opting for this alternative.

Always a treat.
