When we're on a mission to lose weight, we try to choose healthier, lower calorie versions of the things we love. But what if our 'healthy' choices aren't all that healthy? Here's a list of supposedly diet-friendly foods that really aren't as good as you thought:
-Soup (Full of sodium)
-Fat-free cookies (Not calorie-free, that's for sure!)
-Pork (It is only good for you if you get lean cuts like tenderloin. No bacon!)
-Coffee (Sure, it's calorie-free, but the cream and sugar sure ain't!)
-Salad dressing (Salad is good. The dressing? Not so much.)
-Breakfast bars (Like cereal, are most likely loaded with sugar.)
-Nuts (Healthy but also extremely high in fat. Eat sparingly.)
-Dried fruit (Very calorie-dense.)
-Granola (High fat and usually has lots of sugar.)
-Juice (Not much better than soda.)
What other 'healthy foods' do you know of that really aren't that healthy at all?
