Crazy Foods That Might Ruin Your Health

Low-Calorie Snacks

Similar to fat-free and diet foods and drinks, low-calorie snacks can be incredibly deceiving when it comes to the ingredients used in producing these foods. Numerous chemicals can be packed into a tiny 100-calorie package. While low-calorie snacks do offer portion control, unfortunately, many of these snacks are packed with high-sugar and low-fiber processed foods that leave many craving more sugary foods. Instead of reaching for one of these convenient snacks, try eating wholesome snacks that have either natural sugar or none at all and contain fiber. Examples of snacks include fresh fruit, yogurt, low-fat cheese, and nuts, which will help keep you focused and full. Speaking of yogurt, some ultra-low calorie yogurts may reduce sugar and fat, but are replaced with artificial sweeteners and thickeners. When in doubt, always read the labels of low-calorie snacks, particularly paying attention to the ingredient list and the sugar, fat, and sodium content in each snack.
