5 Overrated ‘Healthy’ Foods
You're doing great, right? We've officially made it to the second week of January and you've totally got a handle on this whole healthy eating for the new year thing. Yay you! Or...maybe not.
While you might think you're eating healthy foods, these are some that don’t really deliver a lot of bang for their buck:
- 1
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil has been sold to us as a “healthy” oil, but did you know that it's actually high in saturated fat? Like, really high. Like 90% saturated fat. Ouch!
- 2
Egg Whites
If you don't eat the yolks in your morning omelet then you're missing out on vitamins A, D, E, and K.
- 3
Granola
Granola tastes delicious not so much because it's super healthy, but because it’s filled with calories and fat.
- 4
Veggie Burgers
Do you know what kind of chemicals are in your processed veggie burger? You’re better off reaching for a fish-based burger, or making a veggie burger from scratch yourself.
- 5
Yogurt
As a hardcore yogurt lover, this breaks my heart a little. Sadly, most of the yogurt you find at the grocery store is more of a dessert than a healthy snack.
