Beware sneaky "diet" foods that really aren't

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements

Beware of the sneaky diet foods that are looking to sabotage your diet! You'll be left clueless and frustrated why the pounds are creeping on, and that's never any fun. Some items that are often advertised as healthy and good weight loss choices aren't always -- ground turkey for example. Although turkey breast is a super lean choice, that's not what you're likely to get in a turkey burger. Instead dark turkey, and even turkey skin, is likely to shoot the fat and calorie content of that meat patty up so high you may have been better off with a steak.

Other common culprits included enhanced water, juice, and breakfast cereals. Does any of this surprise you? It really comes down to reading labels in the grocery store, and asking questions in restaurants before you order.
