Top 10 Deceiving "Healthy" Foods

From time to time, I like to have guest bloggers share their two cents with my blog followers. Every post will not always address overeating. This post, for instance, written by guest blogger Dr. Tom Potisk, offers sound nutrition advice. For more resources related to overeating, please visit: www.stopovereatingtips.com After you read this post, I'd love to hear your comments. Which of these are a surprise to you? I didn't know about #9. I always buy it and inflammation is something I have trouble with, so I'm glad Dr. Potisk set me straight!

Better eating habits are as important as regular exercise for weight management. Modifying your food choices can be very helpful but there are a few foods that can be deceiving. Here are the top 10 deceiving “healthy” foods that can lead to weight gain and/or other health problems:

1) Margarine, because it lacks the essential oils necessary for a healthy cardiovascular system.
2) Artificial sweeteners, because they contribute to inflammation.
3) Soy, because it mimics the hormone estrogen.
4) Most granola bars, because they contain excess sugar.
5) Most dehydrated fruits, because they have added sugar.
6) Most juices, because they contain excess added sugars.
7) Whole grain products, because many people have hidden gluten allergies.
8) Commercially grown apples, bell peppers, celery, cherries, and imported grapes because they are the top 5 most chemically treated produce.
9) All orange juice, because it is well known to increase inflammation.
10) Commercially raised chicken because it's likely raised indoors, given antibiotics and probably hormones for faster growth. Carefully investigate every food choice you make.
