Tell me about Mac's famous mac and
cheese here we go again bursting your
bubble and ruining all of your favorite
foods yeah what are you do every day you
eat foods that are filled with things
that you'd never put in your mouth if
you knew what they were don't be shocked
if some of these are things you think
you can't live without here are 10 foods
you'll avoid after you know how it's
made what goes better with a glass of
beer than a handful of pretzels nothing
does you might even be trying to kick
your potato chip habit by replacing them
with pretzels eating pretzels instead of
chips sounds like a good idea since they
are baked and not fried we've been told
over and over to try to avoid fried
foods and to eat as many baked foods as
possible it would seem that pretzels
would be the perfect snack since they
aren't greasy in the slightest you can
eat a handful of pretzels without having
to worry about how you're going to get
the grease off your hands don't pretzel
day a lot of my pretzel - the problem
with pretzels is much the same as with
refined grains and that they offer
little to nothing in terms of nutrition
sure pretzels taste good but that's
about it all that salt on the pretzels
isn't good for you at all and the flour
used to make the pretzels is nothing
more than glorified sugar yes your body
turns pretzels into sugar since it is
essentially a stick of baked
carbohydrates with a little salt
sprinkled on it as with everything try
your best to eat pretzels in moderation
or all of those carbs will eventually
catch up to you
no in fact salad dressings the same
lunch extra Gerson everyone knows that
salad is good for them it's a bunch of
fresh vegetables that can make any
rabbit your best friend you've been
trying to eat better and that's why
you're eating more salad but a salad
isn't worthy of putting up to your lips
if there isn't a dressing on it that's
why you start
using non-fat salad dressing you don't
want all that fat getting in the way of
your healthy vegetables well here's the
deal that salad dressing you've been
buying may not contain fat but it is
loaded with sugar good moisture juice
how else do you think they get the
dressing to still taste so good
the companies that make the dressing
have to replace the fat with something
and they choose sugar and chemicals the
flavors that you're tasting are
chemicals designed to trick you into
thinking that it tastes good the
chemicals are masked with sugar so they
go down nice and easy toss your salad
with a little oil and lemon juice to
truly keep it healthy if lemon juice
isn't your thing then add some red wine
vinegar for added flavor products made
from corn corn on the cob is a great
barbecue treat and no one is saying that
you shouldn't devour some fresh corn
we're not talking about the vegetable
but all the stuff that's made from corn
that means you should steer clear of
corn oil high fructose corn syrup
dextrose and maltodextrin you might as
well throw corn starch into that mix too
the main thing you want to stay away
from is anything with corn syrup in it
some people think that this stuff is
even more dangerous than actual sugar
the jury is still out when it comes to
corn syrup being worse than sugar but
remember sugar is terrible for us to
begin with sugars so bad huh come Jesus
made it taste so good
who cares if corn syrup is better or
worse for us than something that some
say is the source of many modern health
problems like with anything else
moderation is key you can still enjoy
Fritos and other things made with corn
it's almost impossible to not eat any
corn syrup at all try to keep all corn
products to a minimum and you'll be okay
sugar-free desserts
I prefer sugar-free artificial
sweeteners made by man you're on a diet
and you can't seem to satisfy your sweet
tooth you go to the supermarket and try
to find the sugar-free options of the
sweets you crave
the sugar-free route seems like the best
plan since the sugar substitutes have no
calories in them you can also choose
from a wide variety of sugar-free
products such as candy pastries and even
soda sugar-free dog no that did sugar
donuts anyone who has ever been on a
diet knows how hard it is to give up the
sweet bubbly drink they love so much
many turned to diet soda as an
alternative but that stuff isn't so good
for you either sugar-free desserts are
loaded with chemicals the sugar
substitutes themselves are often of
questionable quality the food
manufacturers have to put all kinds of
stuff in the products to make it sweet
enough to eat no one knows for sure how
safe these sugar-free desserts really
are it also appears that many people who
consume sugar replacements end up
gaining weight and not losing it
it seems the body goes on an
all-you-can-eat spree after consuming
artificial sweeteners it's normal for
you to crave sweets get it out of your
system by eating something sweet and
moderation by eating the artificial
stuff you trick yourself into thinking
it's okay to eat a ton of it
keep the portion size in check and you
should be okay going off the rails on
your diet from time to time cheese
flavored snacks cheese makes everything
better
doesn't it just think what would
macaroni be without the cheese nachos
load them up with cheese there's a
reason why everything these days is
either covered in cheese or is cheese
flavored how many boxes of those
world-famous cheese crackers do you buy
crackers because your cheese needs a
buddy if you're not buying those then
you're buying the crackers that have the
cheese filling in between them so what's
the problem with cheese flavored snacks
well don't hate us for telling you this
but they're loaded with chemicals the
one thing that many cheese snacks have
in common is msg but that's not the
worst by any means
many of these cheese flavors that you
associate with your favorite snacks
don't actually come from cheese at all
you'd be surprised how scientists can
trick
your taste buds with all kinds of
flavors are you craving cheese
get yourself a slice of the real thing
and satisfy your cravings the healthy
way blended fruit yogurts
you never we all know that yogurt is
good for you one of the reasons you eat
yogurt is to get some more dairy in your
diet plus the added fruit is something
we all need some people are more afraid
of fruit than a vampire is garlic what's
even worse is some people only eat
artificially fruit flavored things you
know this could be you if you're the
type who only knows what fake cherry
tastes like and not the real thing
so it's understandable why you would
think that yogurt with fruit blended in
it is a good thing
you have yogurt and then fruit two
things that every person should eat more
up then what's so bad about these two
seemingly healthy foods
the problem with blended fruit yogurts
is that they are loaded with sugar there
is no health benefit from eating yogurt
that is filled to the brim with added
sugar the best alternative to blended
fruit yogurts is to buy plain yogurt and
add a little fruit to it yourself you
can add any fruit you want and the
yogurt will still be considered healthy
you aren't going to add all that sugar
like they do in those pre-mixed cups
there's nothing healthy about eating
yogurt with a ton of sugar dumped into
it we find grains
I'm okay if it's like coconut flour but
anything with actual grains I can't do
you're addicted to carbohydrates the
first part of recovery is admitting that
you have a problem you can't leave the
house in the morning without a couple of
slices of peanut butter toast every day
you probably eat a ton of refined grains
it's so hard today to avoid grains that
have been over processed to the point
that they lose most of their nutritional
value how do you avoid eating refined
grains you start looking for obvious
sources like bread pasta and rice if you
can avoid those three things then you're
in good shape the southern for them so I
came all the pizza I would try to eat
whole grain foods that haven't had all
of their healthy goodness strip
them it's going to take work but you
should cut back on all greens you will
feel better by not overindulge gene on
carbohydrate Laden foods that weigh you
down no one is saying that you need to
forget about pizza or pasta entirely
just try your best to limit anything
with refined grains as much as possible
no one expects you to never order a
Pizza Hut pizza again the thought of
that alone has to send shivers down your
spine fruit canned and syrup why would
anyone can everyone had their favorite
canned fruit the cling peaches were
pretty good let's not forget the pears
they too were pretty good let's not
forget the fruit cocktail that had those
weird little grapes in it if the grapes
didn't freak you out then the small
cherry halves did so what's so bad about
canned fruit and syrup
it's the syrup the fruit is canned in
the syrup is liquefied sugar and not
much else
fruit is naturally full of sugar and
that's why it has such a sweet taste
adding more sugar to already sweet fruit
makes no sense at all your mom might
have been happy that you were eating
what she thought was healthy but all
that sugar was anything but if you're
craving something sweet the best option
is to reach for a piece of fresh fruit
if you do buy canned fruit buy the
version that isn't packed in syrup read
the label before buying any canned fruit
so you don't flood your body full of
unnecessary sugar and calories rice
cakes never had one but somebody told me
this is a really good way to statute
diet just because you're on a diet
doesn't mean that you just stop craving
snacks it's rice cakes are not
necessarily as healthy as you think they
are surprisingly rice cakes might be a
less healthy than some of the other
snacks you were eating before going on
your diet what's so bad about rice cakes
the main problem with these cakes made
of puffed rice is that they are nothing
more than carbohydrates you're not
getting much bang for your dietary buck
when you're eating a hockey puck shaped
rice puffs loaded with carbs a better
alternative is to eat a few carrot or
celery stick
if those don't sound so great then chew
on a piece of homemade beef jerky don't
sabotage your diet by eating things that
appear to be healthy but our empty
calories a rice cake now and then won't
hurt you but don't eat them every time
you need to fill the void of leaving
chips behind by fiber bars I'm sorry
Terry but I'm on this new high-fiber
diet
high-fiber bars make a great go-to snack
or something to hold you over until you
can eat your next meal you feel as if
you're eating something good for you
since there is all that fiber in there
so what's the big deal with these high
fiber bars the main problem is that they
are loaded with sugar some high fiber
bars have as much sugar as a candy bar
yeah that's bad holy God no they're not
they're terrible for you you are in oh
is eating healthy when snacking on a
high-fiber bar one way to be sure is to
make your own granola bars at home and
even put a few chocolate chips in them
for sweetness or grab an apple on your
way out instead before dumping all of
this unneeded sugar in your body stick
