In this era when everyone knows a little about health care, we are beginning to be picky about food. Everyone hopes to reduce fat and weight through a healthy diet. However, due to some reasons, many people have confused the concept of low-calorie food. After a meal, I thought I was eating healthy, but in fact I picked "pseudo-healthy" food.

Today, I will take stock of six high-calorie foods with health-related words in their names, so as to "avoid lightning" for everyone, so as to avoid getting fatter.

fancy oatmeal

　　Legend has it that it has a particularly high nutritional value, adding various nutrients, rich in vitamins, minerals and rich dietary fiber, and I heard that it has low calories and is suitable for weight loss...

　　The truth: The sugar-raising rate is as high as 80 or more, which is actually comparable to the value of rice, and this oat is also rich in sugar and oil.

A proper weight gain "strength school".

As for the so-called rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber?

In the process of turning into dried fruit, most of the vitamins are also lost along with the water, so it is really not rich.

　　Pit-avoidance guide: This oatmeal is not that oatmeal!

What we mean by healthy oatmeal is whole oatmeal, not processed, sweetened oatmeal with added sugar and oil.

　fresh juice

　　Legend has it that it is rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, healthy and delicious!

　　The truth: After the juice is made, almost all of the dietary fiber that is insoluble in water is filtered out with the "pomace".

The pitiful sediment at the bottom can't compare with the dietary fiber contained in the fruit itself.

　　"Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology" magazine, once published an article "Juice, but another form of sugar-sweetened beverages."

Fruits generally contain glucose, sucrose or fructose, and the amount of sugar in fruits accounts for about 10%.

We usually eat less than 3-5 oranges, but if we squeeze orange juice, we can kill 3-5 oranges at a time.

Let's calculate according to the amount of 3 oranges, 3 oranges of 200g have about 60g of sugar!

It is conceivable that a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice can exceed the sugar limit for a day.

　　The juice is in a liquid state and does not need to be chewed. It is quickly emptied in the stomach and absorbed quickly in the intestines. At the same time, blood sugar will also rise rapidly. This is for people who want to control blood sugar and weight. very unfavorable.

　　Pit Avoidance Guide: Don't squeeze the juice if you have nothing to do, just pick it up and chew it and you're done!

salad dressing

　　Although many people don't like to eat grass, how can people not bow their heads when they are walking on the road of gaining weight!

　　The truth: I wanted to eat more and lose weight, but salad dressing makes you fatter.

Salad dressings are super high in oil. When we nibble on the grass, when are we not mixing a bunch of salad dressings?

The calories are super high, and a porcelain spoon contains more than 100 kcal. Before you know it, you eat a lot of fat.

　　In addition, almost all salad dressings of average quality contain trans fatty acids, which are very unhealthy. There are also some 0-fat salad dressings on the market, which seem to be fat-free, but actually add extra sugar and sodium to taste!

　　Guidance for avoiding pits: It is recommended to use olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, basil, rosemary, etc. for seasoning, which is healthy and delicious; when eating out, reduce the amount and eat it with dipping instead of pouring it all at once In salads, a small reduction is a healthy addition.

Whole Grain Biscuits

　　I heard that it has a strong sense of satiety, can lose weight, eat not fat, and is low in calories?

　　Truth: Actually, this is another pit.

I specifically went to see the top ten best-selling whole grain biscuits on the market and found that not only are they high in calories, but they are also high in fat and carbohydrates.

　　In the best-selling coarse grain biscuits of an online shopping software, the first ingredient list is wheat flour, and oatmeal, which is a coarse grain, is at the bottom, and the added amount is extremely low.

To be honest, it’s almost as good as a fine grain cookie!

　　Let's take a look at the nutrient list again, high oil, high carbohydrates, I really don't know the meaning of this biscuit, is it to gain weight?

　　Guide to avoiding pits: Do not eat or eat less.

dried fruits and vegetables

　　Legend has it that it is nutritionally complete, healthy and low-fat, and can also supplement vitamins.

　　The truth: Fruits and vegetables are "dehydrated to dryness", mainly by frying at low temperature to dry the moisture in fresh vegetables and fruits, allowing the oil to penetrate into the fruits and vegetables.

　　This will add to the crispy texture.

However, the way of frying will undoubtedly greatly increase the fat content of fruits and vegetables.

　　Moreover, most of the dried fruits and vegetables may lose sugar during the dehydration process. In order to enhance the taste, merchants will add additional white sugar.

Where is the good health?

　　Guide to avoiding pits: Make your own with no added dried fruits and vegetables or eat less.

Black sesame paste

　　Legend has it that it not only nourishes hair, but is also rich in minerals and very healthy.

　　The truth: I took a screenshot of a brand of black sesame paste with the highest sales in an online shopping software, and found that white granulated sugar and edible glucose ranked in the top three.

And rice ranks first. The sugar-rising speed of rice itself is high. After being turned into powder, the sugar-rising speed is even faster (because the absorption is fast). With the blessing of white sugar and glucose, the sugar-rising speed is directly "flying"!

　　Some brands say that there is no added sucrose, and the added crystalline fructose is a free sugar like sucrose, and there is no difference at all.

　　Guidance for avoiding pits: Buying the first few ingredients in the ingredient list are beneficial ingredients, such as black sesame and black beans, which are not added or have a small amount of sugar added. Sugar is at the back of the ingredient list, and there is no other A mess of additives.
