here are a few food options you might
want to avoid when you’re trying to lose
a few pounds welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top ten unhealthy health foods
now we’re gonna take some whipped cream
we’re gonna put some toppings on our
smoothie I love putting toppings on here
for this list we’re looking at foods you
think are healthy but aren’t these are
foods that are marketed as part of a
nutritious diet but which should be
eaten in moderation however as always
speak to your health care professional
if you’ve got any questions regarding
your diet do you want any food with your
meal well what do you have well we have
things shaped like this in green or
things shaped like that in brown number
ten veggie patties Robin caters to a lot
of different tastes they even have a
garden burger just in case your teenage
daughter is calling from base this meat
alternative is a quick solution for both
seasoned vegetarians and those wanting
to avoid red meat at their next barbecue
but don’t be fooled
meat free doesn’t always mean healthy oh
I see what it is they’re veggie burger
it’s basically a hamburger with nothing
in it it’s just all the toppings so so a
veggie burger is just veggies which is
interesting I was totally expecting a
type of patty or something while veggie
burgers might be lower in calories and
fat than their meat based counterparts
many commercial brands are not actually
all that high in veggie content and
instead are packed with chemicals
preservatives unhealthy oils or fillers
like soy to make them more burger like
if you really want a healthy alternative
avoid the processing by making your own
with beans and grains or just use a big
portobello mushroom instead
they’re so juicy and good you got all
over me
number nine sports drinks
we’ve all seen the advertising that
claims these products will help you
rehydrate after a killer workout
tripower thirst energy drinks for people
who need energy
and thanks to their added electrolytes
like sodium or potassium they might just
do that
however we said a killer workout we did
not say a leisurely stroll around the
block with your dog clinical scientists
say they couldn’t find specific backing
for much of sports drink advertising and
much of what they could find they
characterized as flawed science due to
their often high calorie counts these
beverages are often not worth it for non
athletes I know it tastes like mmm chap
me at you that’s what’s up Plus with
those artificial dyes they add to create
the drinks vibrant appearances and the
usual mounds of added sugar
you’re more often than not just better
off sticking with high quality h2o
number 8 bran muffins what would you
like for breakfast Johnny muffin that’s
right while they seem harmless
they can add inches to your waistline
and pounds to the scale if consumed on
the regular don’t let their plain
appearance fool you depending on how
they’re made bran muffins can pack as
much sugar as a doughnut they’re big
they have a lot of fat and they have a
lot of sugar and that’s because even
though it sounds healthy and has some
fiber they put all that fat and sugar in
there to make that bran muffin taste
really good but the worst part of this
seemingly smart snack portion size
restaurant or store-bought bran muffins
are often far bigger than those your
grandmother made and therefore the
golden rule of moderation falls by the
wayside holy cow that’s a huge muffin
where the heck did you find it
add an extra smear of Jam or butter to
the mix and you’ve got one
healthy-looking snack that is anything
but the smart alternative is to just
make your own oh I got plenty of muffin
Muffit got plenty of me he can’t beat a
good muffin first thing in the morning
number seven smoothies pranking a
smoothie with no vegetable
strawberry Finney in it mixing some
fruits and veggies in a blender seems
like a healthy option for a quick snack
or a vitamin boosting beverage on the go
but be warned depending on how they’re
made these drinks can pack tons of
calories and sugar that might not leave
you feeling satisfied for long yes the
fruits healthy but added sugary fruit
juice scoops of sorbet and frozen yogurt
will all contribute to your waistline
and cheat you out of nutritious vitamins
to carry you through your day you might
even find that some ready-made versions
pack as much of a caloric punch as soda
so making your own with low-fat
ingredients is definitely the way to go
and then we’re gonna add a handful of
greens and you won’t even taste them
because of this beautiful Kiwi number 6
dried fruit now we got dried peaches
dried apricots dried raisins and bad
prunes
you know ministers you gotta keep
regular if you want to be but it’s fruit
how bad can it be
well these bite-sized morsels are
considered a healthy alternative to
chips or candy in reality though they
are deceptive as they can be full of
preservatives and artificial sweeteners
plus since dried food is so easy to eat
you’ll eat more have you ever considered
eating a dozen apricots in one sitting
probably not but you probably wouldn’t
hesitate to eat that many dried banana
chips are the worst offenders however
because they’re often deep-fried like
regular potato chips
you’re better off grabbing fresh fruit
next time you’ve got a craving for
something sweet dried fruit lacks water
so it can make you feel dehydrated
hence you will need to drink great
amounts of water number 5 fat free
products did you lose weight actually I
have been trying this new fat free diet
I invented all I’ve had to eat the past
stays or gummy bears jellybeans and
candy corns I wish I had your discipline
fat is bad right then
fat free must always be a good thing
well neither of those statements is
actually true
there are many healthy sources of fat
like avocados or salmon which are
necessary in a balanced diet but of
course since a low-fat diet is preferred
fat-free foods must be a godsend but
there not many products bearing this
label are highly processed with
chemicals and artificial flavors
inserted to amp up their taste even
worse back free doesn’t mean calorie
free so it’s best to educate yourself
about their ingredients and nutritional
properties to see if they’re really
worth eating I be careful those fat free
chips they cause anal leakage you posit
an elite that says so on the bag
number four energy bars
these packaged treats claimed to be
packed with vitamins and nutrition but
have been referred to as quote glorified
candy bars by many of the world’s
leading voices in the health community
it’s their use of unhealthy add-ons like
white flour saturated fats and added
sugars that make these so-called health
foods unhealthy plus most of them don’t
even boast as much fiber as you might
think one bar might satisfy a craving
but it can add an additional 400
calories to your day even as a
pre-workout snack it seems this health
food is better left on the shelf you
want the rest of my power bar no I got a
nice girl bar how about an energy bar no
I’ll get a muscle triplicator bar okay
number three cereal granola do you have
any idea what breakfast cereals made of
it’s those little curly wooden shavings
you find in pencil sharpener sure we
know those sugary cereals packed with
marshmallows are unhealthy but surely
those brands filled with bran and grains
make for a good start to your day
well our advice is always read the
labels carefully for this go-to
breakfast option in many cases produced
via a process that obliterates many of
the grains nutrients many cereals are
also full of sugar and refined
carbohydrates that will lead you on a
one-way street towards a midday sugar
crash granola on the other hand is
relatively healthy in terms of its fiber
mineral and vitamin contents but it can
pack a huge punch fat wise so moderation
is key a circus of fun to eat so you
crinkle on down to the store for post
sugar rice krinkles the greatest cereal
feed on earth
number two skim or low-fat milk I see
you drinking one percent is that because
you think you’re fat
because you’re not you could be drinking
whole if you wanted to like fat-free
product
skim and low-fat milk purport to be
healthy options for those trying to lose
weight and stay healthy and some health
nuts have vilified full fat milk as an
extravagance that has no place in a
healthy diet you take the fat whip out
of yogurt or dairy what you’re left
sugar yeah plus the fats in dairy
actually tell your fat cells relax it’s
got a cover you guys can let go and
release some of your stores but be
warned regular milk may be healthier for
you on the whole than its lower fat
counterparts to produce many skim or
low-fat milk brands manufacturers add
powdered milk to make it taste more like
what you’re used to but that process
adds cholesterol there’s only one thing
I hate more than lying
skim milk which is water that’s lying
about being milk plus important vitamins
like a D E and K are much more prominent
in the full fat variety so best to
guzzle an ice-cold glass of whole milk
to maximize the nutritional value at age
12 I weighed 319 pounds I had bad skin
low self-esteem and no self-respect now
I eat success for breakfast with skim
milk before we reveal our number one
pick here are some honorable or in this
case dishonorable mentions load of the
pulp that has been carefully screened is
added back into the juice to create the
wholesome authentic OJ with all the good
stuff still in it with the reduced fat
peanut butter they’re taking the healthy
fat out of the peanut butter and
replacing it with sugars starches salt
because they add all those ingredients
back in you’re not even really saving a
lot of calories they both have about 200
calories in a serving and stick them on
top
I really want some Geoghan well not
exactly Joel but but it has a taste of
yogurt and all for gonna look like
yogurt number one diet soda your quasi
even your semi even your the margarine
of evil your the diet coke of me burning
there’s a rule of thumb that suggests
you shouldn’t drink your calories great
advice and diet soda is a great option
to avoid wasting your daily caloric
intake on liquid right wrong while
sugar-free diet soda is an option for
those with diabetes it’s best to be
avoided by those of us without the
disease because it boasts no redeeming
health qualities worse than that these
drinks contain tons of additives
chemicals and dyes that make the regular
sugar filled versions actually look like
the better option with consumption of
diet soda linked to serious ailments
like heart disease strokes and more this
is one so called health food you should
avoid at all costs do you agree with our
