Why Low-Fat and Sugar-Free Doesn’t Mean Healthy

Trying to transform your diet is no easy task, there are many pitfalls when it comes to food labels that trick you into thinking you’re buying healthy.

When you’re short on time you might toss some “low-fat” or “fat-free” items into your shopping cart without a second thought, but these processed foods belong nowhere near a nutritious diet.

Why? 

These foods are designed to work on a gimmick that tricks you into thinking they’re healthier alternatives. In reality, they have all kinds of unhealthy additives that are meant to make up for the taste. Not to mention, processed foods are usually made with additives in order to manufacture them at a cheaper price.

Cut these bad guys out of your diet if you’re looking to get in better shape.

Instead, you should be opting for whole foods such as fresh produce, bread, or low-processed animal products. Always check the nutrition facts whenever buying something pre-packed, make sure you’re not picking up something with a laundry list of chemical ingredients.
