Avoiding these snacks which seem harmless is necessary to reach your fitness goals and stay away from lifestyle diseases! Once you get in the habit of eating only 100% whole foods that are locally available and cooked in a tasty yet healthy way, you will automatically lose all craving for such junk food.
We list the common foods which most people snack on without thinking of the chemicals or processed unnatural ingredients which are added and the ill effects that these can have on your health and fitness.
Biscuits / Rusk: Munching on this seemingly light snack or having it with tea is common. However, biscuits are full of added sugar, maida (refined flour) & refined / hydrogenated oils with no nutritive value.
Bhujia / namkeen (salted snacks): Guess what! Your favorite small bhujia packet has atleast 580 calories per 100 gm. Even the best brands use cheap oil to fry this bhujia. You can finish a full packet in no time and still stay hungry
Diet chips / soy chips: Viewed as a ‘healthy’ alternative to normal chips, diet chips will not actually help you lose fat! These chips are processed heavily leaving them with no nutritive value and with preservatives, sugar or artificial sweeteners
Toffee / Chocolates / Candy: We love popping eclairs, mango bite, coffy bite thinking its too little to harm us. But again that small piece has terrible amount of sugar, good enough to make you sick quickly!
