In our times a lot of people have problems with overweight. Nutritionists say that there are no good and bad foods, any foods can be good for our healthy diet. Center for Science in the Public Interest proclaims the opposite opinion. There are bad foods, which nutritionists say no, because they don’t want to oppose the marketing gimmick. The best expression of how we can use to describe bad foods from the supermarket is: evil. Bad foods look very good and give us a pleasure in return for obesity and disease.
Bad foods contain chemicals that damage the nutrients and we eat empty calories, which can wreak havoc on our body. The attitude of our diet should be plants, which reduce the destructive impact of bad fat. Supermarkets offer us products high-calorie, a very big problem are the instant products that we can prepare quickly and everywhere.
This is a list of products, which we should avoid:
1.      cola drinks,
2.      sour cream and onion potato chips
3.      store – bought chocolate chip cookies
4.      full-fat cheeses
5.      chocolate doughnuts
6.      regular bacon
7.      beef hot dogs
8.      chocolate truffles
Each of these products is unhealthy, contains a lot of fat and/or sugar. We don’t have denied everything, because we can change these products on a good alternative.
