Tell me about Mac's famous mac and cheese here we go again bursting your
bubble and ruining all of your favorite foods yeah what are you do every day you
eat foods that are filled with things that you'd never put in your mouth if
you knew what they were don't be shocked if some of these are things you think
you can't live without here are 10 foods you'll avoid after you know how it's
made what goes better with a glass of beer than a handful of pretzels nothing
does you might even be trying to kick your potato chip habit by replacing them
with pretzels eating pretzels instead of chips sounds like a good idea since they
are baked and not fried we've been told over and over to try to avoid fried
foods and to eat as many baked foods as possible it would seem that pretzels
would be the perfect snack since they aren't greasy in the slightest you can
eat a handful of pretzels without having to worry about how you're going to get
the grease off your hands don't pretzel day a lot of my pretzel - the problem
with pretzels is much the same as with refined grains and that they offer
little to nothing in terms of nutrition sure pretzels taste good but that's
about it all that salt on the pretzels isn't good for you at all and the flour
used to make the pretzels is nothing more than glorified sugar yes your body
turns pretzels into sugar since it is essentially a stick of baked
carbohydrates with a little salt sprinkled on it as with everything try
your best to eat pretzels in moderation or all of those carbs will eventually
catch up to you no in fact salad dressings the same
lunch extra Gerson everyone knows that salad is good for them it's a bunch of
fresh vegetables that can make any rabbit your best friend you've been
trying to eat better and that's why you're eating more salad but a salad
isn't worthy of putting up to your lips if there isn't a dressing on it that's
why you start using non-fat salad dressing you don't
want all that fat getting in the way of your healthy vegetables well here's the
deal that salad dressing you've been buying may not contain fat but it is
loaded with sugar good moisture juice how else do you think they get the
dressing to still taste so good the companies that make the dressing
have to replace the fat with something and they choose sugar and chemicals the
flavors that you're tasting are chemicals designed to trick you into
thinking that it tastes good the chemicals are masked with sugar so they
go down nice and easy toss your salad with a little oil and lemon juice to
truly keep it healthy if lemon juice isn't your thing then add some red wine
vinegar for added flavor products made from corn corn on the cob is a great
barbecue treat and no one is saying that you shouldn't devour some fresh corn
we're not talking about the vegetable but all the stuff that's made from corn
that means you should steer clear of corn oil high fructose corn syrup
dextrose and maltodextrin you might as well throw corn starch into that mix too
the main thing you want to stay away from is anything with corn syrup in it
some people think that this stuff is even more dangerous than actual sugar
the jury is still out when it comes to corn syrup being worse than sugar but
remember sugar is terrible for us to begin with sugars so bad huh come Jesus
made it taste so good who cares if corn syrup is better or
worse for us than something that some say is the source of many modern health
problems like with anything else moderation is key you can still enjoy
Fritos and other things made with corn it's almost impossible to not eat any
corn syrup at all try to keep all corn products to a minimum and you'll be okay
sugar-free desserts I prefer sugar-free artificial
sweeteners made by man you're on a diet and you can't seem to satisfy your sweet
tooth you go to the supermarket and try to find the sugar-free options of the
sweets you crave the sugar-free route seems like the best
plan since the sugar substitutes have no calories in them you can also choose
from a wide variety of sugar-free products such as candy pastries and even
soda sugar-free dog no that did sugar donuts anyone who has ever been on a
diet knows how hard it is to give up the sweet bubbly drink they love so much
many turned to diet soda as an alternative but that stuff isn't so good
for you either sugar-free desserts are loaded with chemicals the sugar
substitutes themselves are often of questionable quality the food
manufacturers have to put all kinds of stuff in the products to make it sweet
enough to eat no one knows for sure how safe these sugar-free desserts really
are it also appears that many people who consume sugar replacements end up
gaining weight and not losing it it seems the body goes on an
all-you-can-eat spree after consuming artificial sweeteners it's normal for
you to crave sweets get it out of your system by eating something sweet and
moderation by eating the artificial stuff you trick yourself into thinking
it's okay to eat a ton of it keep the portion size in check and you
should be okay going off the rails on your diet from time to time cheese
flavored snacks cheese makes everything better
doesn't it just think what would macaroni be without the cheese nachos
load them up with cheese there's a reason why everything these days is
either covered in cheese or is cheese flavored how many boxes of those
world-famous cheese crackers do you buy crackers because your cheese needs a
buddy if you're not buying those then you're buying the crackers that have the
cheese filling in between them so what's the problem with cheese flavored snacks
well don't hate us for telling you this but they're loaded with chemicals the
one thing that many cheese snacks have in common is msg but that's not the
worst by any means many of these cheese flavors that you
associate with your favorite snacks don't actually come from cheese at all
you'd be surprised how scientists can trick
your taste buds with all kinds of flavors are you craving cheese
get yourself a slice of the real thing and satisfy your cravings the healthy
way blended fruit yogurts you never we all know that yogurt is
good for you one of the reasons you eat yogurt is to get some more dairy in your
diet plus the added fruit is something we all need some people are more afraid
of fruit than a vampire is garlic what's even worse is some people only eat
artificially fruit flavored things you know this could be you if you're the
type who only knows what fake cherry tastes like and not the real thing
so it's understandable why you would think that yogurt with fruit blended in
it is a good thing you have yogurt and then fruit two
things that every person should eat more up then what's so bad about these two
seemingly healthy foods the problem with blended fruit yogurts
is that they are loaded with sugar there is no health benefit from eating yogurt
that is filled to the brim with added sugar the best alternative to blended
fruit yogurts is to buy plain yogurt and add a little fruit to it yourself you
can add any fruit you want and the yogurt will still be considered healthy
you aren't going to add all that sugar like they do in those pre-mixed cups
there's nothing healthy about eating yogurt with a ton of sugar dumped into
it we find grains I'm okay if it's like coconut flour but
anything with actual grains I can't do you're addicted to carbohydrates the
first part of recovery is admitting that you have a problem you can't leave the
house in the morning without a couple of slices of peanut butter toast every day
you probably eat a ton of refined grains it's so hard today to avoid grains that
have been over processed to the point that they lose most of their nutritional
value how do you avoid eating refined grains you start looking for obvious
sources like bread pasta and rice if you can avoid those three things then you're
in good shape the southern for them so I came all the pizza I would try to eat
whole grain foods that haven't had all of their healthy goodness strip
them it's going to take work but you should cut back on all greens you will
feel better by not overindulge gene on carbohydrate Laden foods that weigh you
down no one is saying that you need to forget about pizza or pasta entirely
just try your best to limit anything with refined grains as much as possible
no one expects you to never order a Pizza Hut pizza again the thought of
that alone has to send shivers down your spine fruit canned and syrup why would
anyone can everyone had their favorite canned fruit the cling peaches were
pretty good let's not forget the pears they too were pretty good let's not
forget the fruit cocktail that had those weird little grapes in it if the grapes
didn't freak you out then the small cherry halves did so what's so bad about
canned fruit and syrup it's the syrup the fruit is canned in
the syrup is liquefied sugar and not much else
fruit is naturally full of sugar and that's why it has such a sweet taste
adding more sugar to already sweet fruit makes no sense at all your mom might
have been happy that you were eating what she thought was healthy but all
that sugar was anything but if you're craving something sweet the best option
is to reach for a piece of fresh fruit if you do buy canned fruit buy the
version that isn't packed in syrup read the label before buying any canned fruit
so you don't flood your body full of unnecessary sugar and calories rice
cakes never had one but somebody told me this is a really good way to statute
diet just because you're on a diet doesn't mean that you just stop craving
snacks it's rice cakes are not necessarily as healthy as you think they
are surprisingly rice cakes might be a less healthy than some of the other
snacks you were eating before going on your diet what's so bad about rice cakes
the main problem with these cakes made of puffed rice is that they are nothing
more than carbohydrates you're not getting much bang for your dietary buck
when you're eating a hockey puck shaped rice puffs loaded with carbs a better
alternative is to eat a few carrot or celery stick
if those don't sound so great then chew on a piece of homemade beef jerky don't
sabotage your diet by eating things that appear to be healthy but our empty
calories a rice cake now and then won't hurt you but don't eat them every time
you need to fill the void of leaving chips behind by fiber bars I'm sorry
Terry but I'm on this new high-fiber diet
high-fiber bars make a great go-to snack or something to hold you over until you
can eat your next meal you feel as if you're eating something good for you
since there is all that fiber in there so what's the big deal with these high
fiber bars the main problem is that they are loaded with sugar some high fiber
bars have as much sugar as a candy bar yeah that's bad holy God no they're not
they're terrible for you you are in oh is eating healthy when snacking on a
high-fiber bar one way to be sure is to make your own granola bars at home and
even put a few chocolate chips in them for sweetness or grab an apple on your
way out instead before dumping all of this unneeded sugar in your body stick
