Well, well. I just came across few days back while reading an online local newspaper about so called 'smart snacking'. Just the type of article I HAVE to voice out, to point out one of the reasons why, perhaps, the rise of obesity in most developed countries.
It always intrigue me whenever I see any article about health, diet or nutrition being published in the newspaper, magazines and any other sources. It's almost the same reoccurring information saying saturated fat is bad, high cholesterol will give you heart attack, eat more grains, soybean is healthy, etc. Ever wonder why the more people who follow all these health and nutrition information, and the more fatter we get and sicker? Are you connecting the dots here? Think for a second and apply some common sense here.
Now, referring to the article I read recently, the below so called 'healthy snacking' recommendation caught my attention. I mean, are you serious? Grains, cereals and low fat yogurt? Does this person even know that gluten(found in grains) is a slow working poison? Grains, is a weight gain food. Cereals is a weight gain food. No? Go back and look at your cereal pack and check out the carbohydrates and sugar content. How about low fat yogurt? Low fat suppose to be good and keep us from being getting fatter right? WRONG! You can't get fat by eating FATS. This is absurd yet silly. If you buy a low fat yogurt, or any low fat products including low fat milk or junk foods, please take a few seconds, read the nutritional information on the package, you will be surprise that the sugar content is increased. Why? Palatability! If you take out the fats in any processed foods, how do you think the food will taste? YES, like a cardboard. So, how can the food industry make the food taste better? They increase the sugar content, and this is something most people doesn't know and the food industry has found a way to trick our taste buds into eating MORE processed foods which is higher in sugar, and making us think that eating fats will make us fat. Table sugar has 50% fructose, and it fools your brain to make you think that you are still hungry, thus, making you keep eating and feeling hungry. So, what happen? We get fatter and sicker.
If you have read my SUGAR and Cholesterol posts, you will understand what causes weight gain, thus increasing risk of obesity and other chronic diseases. You will learn that saturated fat is not the villain and it will not elevate cholesterol levels. Wonder why you eat less foods or reduce calories, yet you still can't lose weight? A calorie is not just a calorie. Period.
"Look for foods that contain complex carbohydrates like whole-grain breads and cereals and combine them with protein-rich snacks such as peanut butter or low-fat yogurt or cheese."
