Nine food that everyone considered healthy and not-so

As we repeat constantly, nutrition there are no absolute truths and it's all a matter of balance, but it is important to distinguish which foods are harmful to all lights if not consumed in moderation. Nothing bad will happen to you if you get sick eating spinach (but most likely get bored sooner or later), but many ballots have embarrassed if you stick candy binges daily.
More difficult is to distinguish but healthy-looking food that can make you fat if you eat without restraint (which can easily happen if you think they are great for your health). To understand this we must make a fundamental distinction: not all healthy foods are low in calories Brown rice may be healthier than refined variety, because it contains more fiber, but in terms of calories is virtually the same.. If you think you'll look like a sylph just change what you've always eaten for its comprehensive variety or 'Light' you are very wrong. carnival 2016

1. Smoothies

Obviously we can beat by beat anything, but if we dedicate ourselves to mix milk and get a very calorie fruit drink, which is not advisable on a slimming diet, especially if we take it as a beverage accompaniment to other food. Needless to say, of course, most of smoothies and juices sold in chains of 'fast food', also in those of healthy, tend to have much sugar.

2. Sushi

The traditional Japanese dish is seen in the West as a healthy sea food but the fact is that far more fat than we think.

If you're dieting and you go to a Japanese restaurant offers the 'shasimi' raw fish cut into sheets, without rice.

3. skimmed yogurt

The fat yoghurt look perfect for dieting, but their flavor varieties have considerably more sugar than conventional yogurt, with virtually the same calories. In order to label a product as 'light' must contain at least 30% fewer calories than his counterpart no 'light', and that it can be labeled as low fat product must have only 3% fat. These are the guidelines, no matter what kind of nutrients on which the reduction was made. That is why some foods, despite having fewer calories have, for example, more sugar and more fat than ordinary products. Or, despite having less fat, they have more calories, as is the case with some nonfat yogurt, which supply it with sugar.

4. Vegetable Chips

Plantain chips, beetroot or sweet potatoes have become very popular in recent years as a healthy alternative to the usual chips alternative, but the fact is they have virtually the same calories and, like all fried foods are high in saturated fats . They can be a good alternative to conventional potatoes home but if we do, however, should be a fitting testimonial, not the main course (and even less if we are going to spread in sauces).

As with many products 'light' gluten-free foods are less healthy than their counterparts with gluten because, for certain foodstuffs are not dependent on the protein, it needs more sugar and fat content. And in any case, a donut gluten remains a donut.

6. Breads "multigrain"

(IStock)

Whole grains are a healthier type of carbohydrate, but many of the industrial working trying to sell itself are actually made with refined carbohydrates. It is what happens to many "multigrain" bread, which are made ​​with a lot of conventional flour and cereals have only coverage for pretty. Nutritional information does not deceive: Look for products made entirely with whole grain cereals.

7. Homemade desserts

(IStock)

It is common to hear that the bakery is the worst of the worst (quite right, given its high content in sugars and saturated fat), but this seems to relieve the homemade pastries, as if the sea healthy.

Drinks designed for sports such as Gatorade, Powerade or Aquarius, have a healthy aura that does not correspond at all to reality. They have almost the same calories as any conventional soda and just a little less sugar. They are indicated for athletes precisely because it allows them to regain nutrients lost during competitions and trainings, but if you're drinking all day refreshments such sitting in your chair you have a problem.
