Let's take a look at some healthy foods that turn out to be NOT SO Healthy...
1) Instant Oats - You know you need to start your day with breakfast for sustained energy.
And Instant Oats looks like a great choice because your mornings are Madly Busy getting children and pets fed, getting ready for school and work.
BUT Instant Oats is loaded with sugars and sweetners.
All that sugar is going to cause a spike in your insulin levels. This will have your body's cells taking in the sugar to use as energy but if your cells dont need the energy then these sugars will be stored as FAT. And that storage is in your belly area.
SWAP Instant Oats for your own made -
1/3 cup rolled oats with water to cover the oats
2 shakes of cinnamon
1 shake of salt
2 tbsp raisin or cranberries or blueberries
2 tbsp mixed seeds (pumpkin/ sesame/ sunflower)
Microwave at 80% for 2min 40 seconds
Once cooked stir in 1 tsp coconut oil and soy or almond milk
2) Breakfast bars and protein bars - a convenience food that promises you that eating one of them is the same as sitting down to breakfast that you made yourself.
Take a look at the nutritional information and if the kilojoules are less than 550 and the sugar is 8g or less then okay, eat it!
You'll find though that these bars are over 600kj and usually have 12 - 16g of sugar.
That is 3 - 4 teaspoons!
Would you sit down at the sugar bowl and eat 3 - 4 teaspoons straight from the bowl?
SWAP Make these muffins on Sunday and freeze them.
Grab one and a handful of nuts for an on the go breakfast.
2/3 cup wheat flour
2/3 cup coconut/ almond flour
1/3 cup xylitol
2/3 cup raisins
1 1/3 cup grated carrots
2/3 cup cut up apple
2/3 cup dessicated coconut
2/3 cup pecan nuts
2 eggs
2/3 cup coconut oil
Turn the oven to 180*C
Mix all the ingredients together
Spray muffin tins
Divide the mixture into the muffin tin
Bake for 20 - 23 minutes until skewer comes out clean
Let them cool a little before turning them out.
Cool completely before freezing

3) Fat Free Yoghurts - Fat gives food flavour. When it is removed then other ingredients usually sugar are added to improve the taste of the food along with additives.
Choose full cream double fat yoghurt and add stewed apples with cinnamon and cloves or blueberries and raspberries and mixed seeds for a nutrient dense snack or meal.
4) Rice cakes - they may be low in calories but they don't satisfy your hunger because they don't contain fat! You tend to eat 3 - 4 rice cakes so that you feel full.
Rice cakes are made from a starchy carbohydrate which means that when they are digested they break down to glucose which then requires your body to release insulin. Insulin helps to move sugar out of your blood stream and into your cells. If your cells don't require energy then the sugar is stored as FAT.
And a rice cake offers you very little in the way of nutrition.
5) Dried fruit - Just because it's fruit doesn't mean it's healthy!!!
Dried fruit has a much greater concentration of sugar because the water has been removed from the fruit. It is also far less filling which means that you eat more of it to feel satisfied.
And not to sound like a stuck record but sugar in your blood stream has a negative impact on your waistline....
Swap - 5 olives and some feta cheese or vegetable sticks and dip into hummus or cottage cheese or roasted aubergine & tomato dip.
Recipe:
Slice an aubergine into 4 fat slices
Brush with olive oil and garlic
Grind salt
Slice 4 large tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil and salt
Grill for 10 - 12 minutes until softened and then turn and grill for another 5 minutes
Remove from the oven
Whizz aubergine and tomato with additional tomato & onion mix in a food processor or stick blender
Store in a glass jar or sealable container
Use as a dip for vegetable sticks

6) Fat Free Salad Dressings - The point of salad dressing with fat is to aid digestion and help your body to absorb vitamins that are fat soluble like Vitamins A, D, E & K
Eating a fat-free salad dressing means that sugar and other additives have been used to make the dressing taste good.
SWAP Make your own -
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt & Pepper
French mustard
A dash of xylitol
Shake it up and dress your salad
7) Fruit juice - did you know that 250ml of fruit juice can have up to 9tsp of sugar?
Would you sit and eat 9 teaspoons of sugar?
Would you let your 7 year old?
Fruit juice is liquid sugar which light up your brain's reward system brighter than a New Years Eve Fireworks Display!

Choose fruit infused water or herbal teas.
