Sometimes I like to trick myself. I like to think that certain foods are healthier than they are, and quite frankly it makes me sad sometimes. But that being said, I know better to a certain degree, and it’s my job to correct my own bad habits. Before I dropped soda all together, I was a bit fan of diet sodas. After all, especially with Coke 0, how can you really get better. Alcohol is the same way with Bacardi 0. But anyway, basically what they do is they replace the sugar with all these artificial sugars that actually sabotage your body and make it not work the way it should in response to sugars in general. Likewise, fruit cocktails are horrible. You have to look for pure 100% juice! Fruit juice is high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. But fruit cocktails are not. They are packed with sugar and maybe 10% juice, which is never a good thing keep in mind. Likewise, unless you are getting extremely low fat cottage cheese, cottage cheese is really bad for you. And finally flavored yogurts are not good for you. Plain yogurt is great. You can mix your own fruits in there. But ya, and likewise reduced fat peanut butter not good. The sugar free kind, I forget what the name is actually, is good, but not the low fat.
