SNACKS!!! I bet you didnt even think about it. There’s no question that snacking can be a part of healthy diet plan and can help you achieve optimal energy levels throughout the day while keeping your blood sugar levels more stabilized, but, if you’re not careful with the snack choices you’re choosing, you could be doing far more harm than good. Let’s go over three snack foods that you should do away with immediately. 1. Anything With Processed Cheese Whether it’s string cheese, cheese spread, or some other form of artificial cheese, these in general are not a good idea. They’re often very high in chemicals and can also add some saturated or even trans fats into your diet plan. Plus, they won’t offer nearly the same amount of protein, as a real source of organic cheese would, so won’t provide benefits in that regard either. If you want cheese, choose a smarter variety. Opt for Greek cheese or feta cheese and you’ll provide your body with more vitamins and minerals along with energy for the hours to come. 2. Chips And Crackers Even if they are the ‘low fat’ variety, don’t be fooled. These are still not a healthy addition to your diet. Snacks such as these do typically contain trans fats, which are the worst kinds of fats that you could be adding to your diet plan. Even very small amounts consumed each day can put you in harm’s way. Second, these snacks are full of processed carbs that will send blood glucose levels soaring and then crashing shortly thereafter. 3. Cereal And Energy Bars Not only are these very high in sugar as well (or high-glucose fructose corn syrup as the case may be), but many also contain artificial food dyes or colorings, which can harm your body. Plus, they are devoid of protein content in most cases, so won’t provide you the balanced snack you’re after. -Shawn Phillips
