Raisin Hell

You've probably heard that hell is paved with good intentions.

This is what happens when we delude ourselves into thinking that natural foods have fewer calories and less fat than others, or to deceive too particularly healthy food (cheese is a good example) for a healthy choice .

Here is a breakdown of the ten most common food choices that contain hidden sources of fat and sugar (and therefore the weight expansion calories!)

Here are the Top Ten foods that will minimize your diet, but to maximize your waistline!

1. Cheese Pizza - A pizza with no toppings seems that this must be healthy and that is to some extent. But only two slices of cheese pizza plain give you 760 calories and almost a full day limit saturated fat and sodium. It is without sausage, pepperoni and nothing else! Your best choice is a vegetarian pizza as focaccia brushed with olive oil and flavored with sun-dried tomatoes and herbs.

2. chicken noodle soup, canned - Lots of salt, half a can averages about 1100 mg of sodium. It's almost half your daily quota. Opt for brands with low sodium content instead.

3. Low-fat potato chips - the worst are the low-fat chips fried in Olean (olestra). The generic name of indigestible fat substitute is sucrose polyester called Olean do not provide calories, but many causes of gastrointestinal distress, including cramps and diarrhea that they should consult their doctor. Olean also reduces the body's absorption of other foods. Try baked potato with low-fat tortilla chips or raw vegetables like carrots and celery instead.

4. Yogurt Covered Raisins - This is a joint offering in health food stores and it appears to be healthy because the raisins are a source of iron and yogurt is a common health food. In fact, yogurt covered raisins are filled with fat and sugar. They are usually coated with oil palm sugar saturated, hydrogenated coconut oil. You'd better take a snack on a handful of raisins plain.

5. Corn Chips - Most people think that corn chips are healthy because they are not made from potatoes. However, the coconut oil that are fried in is twice as saturated as lard. A cup of corn chips will give you almost half your daily limit of saturated fat. If you search for brand corn chips that are baked or low fat.

6. Fast food sandwich bagel - They may look healthy because they include healthy vegetables like tomatoes and lettuce and low fat meats like turkey or chicken. However, the bagels are themselves full of carbohydrates. Only one of these sandwiches can produce up to 700 calories, 40 grams fat, 300 mg cholesterol and 1,600 mg of sodium. Try a turkey sandwich on rye bread with 1 slice cheese, lettuce and tomatoes instead.

7. Extra large chocolate chip cookies - You can lose weight eating only a single cookie, but it depends how big it is. A single large cookie, like those sold at Starbucks has 300 calories and as much saturated fat as a sirloin steak 12 ounces more than seven teaspoons of sugar. If you can not resist, try to go for the oatmeal cookies.

8. Breakfast Special - Breakfast restaurant stove style eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage and cheese - not exactly the best choices out there, light meal in itself give you 1220 calories 70 grams fat (19 of them saturated) and 1820 mgs of sodium. For a healthy alternative, try a couple of scrambled eggs or egg whites with 2 or 3 pancakes or toast and small side of fruit and cottage cheese.

Nine. "Supersize Me" French Fries - Stop saying yes when asked if you want your order is supersized. Great French fries contain 600 calories, 30 grams fat (16gms which are artery-clogging saturated and trans fats!) A super-waist size is what you get for super-sizing your fries.
