"Fake Health Foods" to Stop Eating If You Want to Lose Weight

Lined Circle

Granola Bars

Often marketed as healthy snacks, many granola bars are loaded with sugars and unhealthy fats. Choose bars with minimal ingredients and no added sugars.

Flavored Yogurt

Flavored yogurts can contain high amounts of added sugars, making them more like desserts. Opt for plain, unsweetened yogurt and add fresh fruit for sweetness.

Fruit Juices

While fruit juices seem healthy, they often lack fiber and are high in sugars. Eat whole fruits instead to get the full nutritional benefits.

Veggie Chips

Veggie chips may sound healthy, but they can be just as high in calories and sodium as regular chips. Stick to fresh vegetables for a truly healthy snack.

Protein Bars

Many protein bars are essentially candy bars in disguise, packed with sugars and artificial ingredients. Choose bars with natural ingredients and low sugar content.

Low-Fat Salad Dressings

Low-fat dressings often compensate with added sugars and chemicals. Make your own dressings with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs for a healthier option.
