Make Better Food Choices

I came across an interesting article in Men's Health recently (a magazine that I used to subscribe to but canceled because it seems like every edition is a repackaged version of the previous one?!). Anyway - this is a pretty good article about 12 foods that most people buy because they think they're eating healthy. The truth, however, is that many products that are labeled as 'light' or 'fat-free' are loaded with additional sugar or other undesirable ingredients. If they were fat-free and didn't have this other stuff, they'd be virtually inedible! Go to Men's Health and read up on what to STOP buying and switch over to the alternatives they propose.

For those of you too lazy to read the article, here's the list of 12 foods that are discussed:

• Yogurt with fruit on the bottom
• Baked Beans
• California Roll
• Granola Bars
• Pasta Salad
• English Muffins
• Croutons
• Fat-Free Salad Dressing
• Fruit Cocktail
• Reduced-fat Peanut Butter
• Pretzels
• Corn Oil
