More unhealthy health foods

A few weeks ago I posted a blog about some foods that people think are healthy, but truly they are not. I have received a few messages about that article, and many questions, so I feel I need to add another list of products that are not necessarily as healthy as they seem.

1 - Turkey and/or chicken HotDogs. These items do have less saturated fat than the regular hot dog, but they have very little protein, its is not a complete protein source and they are extremely high in sodium.

2 - Protein bars. If you are not a bodybuilder or train like an athlete, these bars (with some exeptions) are high in saturated fat, sugars and artificial sweeteners and flavours.

3 - Breaded chicken burgers - Again, a better choice perhaps than a regular all beef burger, but these breaded burgers are usually made with processed chicken, are fried for the breading to stick, and are high in sodium and cholesterol.

4 - Yellow or Orange Cheese - basically the same as Kraft singles, these are all processed and full of aditives. If you want cheese, buy the real stuff. You can now even find a wide variety or cheese that comes from an organic source.

I want to emphasize, if you have recently gone from eating horrible foods and take out all the time,to eating the above, it is a step in the right direction, but another step must be taken. What we eat is essential for how we feel and how we age.

If you have any questions whatsoever about your current diet, or are unsure about something you are eating, please feel free to contact me at mytraineroz@gmail.com.

Best wishes!
