These 6 “healthy” foods will make you fat

A diet high in fruits and vegetables is considered a healthy diet. But some foods can can be hidden calorie bombs and make a balanced diet difficult. It is recommended to avoid industrially processed foods as well as sugar. We uncover the weaknesses of so-called nutritious foods.

It is often used instead of sugar or honey in recipes: agave syrup. Hailed as a sweet substitute by the anti-sugar movement, this confection is seen more realistically by the national media registered dietitian and American Marisa Moore, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

«Agave syrup is by no means ‘better’ than sugar. As with sugar, you should use it sparingly, even if it’s “in” to sweeten everything with it. Although agave syrup is obtained from a plant, it actually does not have an important nutritional value for our body. And nutritionists go further and classify agave syrup as a potential health hazard: The syrup’s high fructose content can affect the liver in a way that creates insulin resistance.

Of course, if you want to eat healthier, you first replace the chips with so-called vegetable chips. No harm, you might think it contains more fiber than the unhealthy version with potatoes. But most varieties of veggie chips are fake, according to Marisa: “Vegetable chips actually have higher fiber than traditional chips, but they’re often still fried. It’s best to consume them without water. If you see added fats and sugars in your veggie chips bag, switch brands or replace them instead. Eat something fresh.”

We no longer go hiking without them, and they are always with us on bike tours: our protein bars. Because protein is healthy and makes you feel full, right? True, but you should also make sure you’re getting animal protein, such as eggs, chicken, or lean meat. Because the protein in the bars is produced artificially and can never be as healthy as natural. Meanwhile, a good protein bar consists of less than ten ingredients.

You’ve probably heard at some point: Someone you know now eats gluten-free. This means that wheat, spelt, rye, oats, barley and spelt are not used. Therefore, normal pasta or pizza is taboo. However, just because a food is gluten-free doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Gluten-free foods often contain high levels of sugar. Pay attention to the packaging information.

Here, too, you should pay attention to the sugar content: in smoothies and yogurt creations from the juice bar, as well as when choosing yogurt from the refrigerated section of the supermarket. It’s best to sweeten your yogurt with a bit of honey.

Especially when it comes to mayonnaise or ready-made salad dressings, low-fat varieties are sold with big slogans. But they’re also loaded with artificial preservatives and sugar to make them taste primarily like the full-fat version. It is better to use regular mayonnaise and sauces and eat a little less.
