7. Protein Bars
Here is another acclaimed “health food” that is simply masquerading as such. Although protein bars do contain a lot of protein, the truth is that they contain a lot more than just protein. To give them a great taste that will keep people coming back for more, most protein bars also contain high levels of sugar and fat, which can cause an unhealthy spike in your blood sugar levels and contribute to a number of health problems.
Instead, choose fresh foods as protein sources, such as nuts, seeds, lean animal products, and other foods that contain protein without the added sugars.
