Dieting? Watch out for these Fake Diet Foods
Trying to diet or just eat better? Be sure to read your labels. A lot of products that are claiming to be lite, lo-cal or diet really aren’t healthy at all. I’ve also noticed that you really have to watch out for whole grain or wheat claims. If the ingredient list starts with “enriched…” it isn’t really whole grain.
Hungry Girl gives a great list of foods to beware of in her article “Little Light Lies. . .”
- Cold Stone Creamery Cake Batter Light Ice Cream (51 carbs!)
- Litehouse Lite Honey Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing (13 grams of fat!)
- Arby’s Market Fresh Santa Fe Salad (41 grams of carbs!)
- Haagen-Dazs Cookie Dough Lite Ice Cream (30 grams of sugar!)
- Ruby Tuesday Smart Eating Chicken Portabella (519 calories!)
- Buitoni Light Alfredo Sauce (6 grams of fat!)
- Smoothie King Slim-N-Trim Strawberry Smoothie (79 grams of carbs!!!!!)
Okay, who wouldn’t diet non-stop if all these foods were really healthy. They just sounds too good to be true and turns out, they are!
