Looking to lose weight or stay in shape? Then think twice about eating “health” food.
Some of the foods most touted as “health-conscious” choices are often laden with unhealthy ingredients – and will reinforce your decision to skip processed foods and eat only all-natural or homemade food.
Here are five:
Smoothies
Smoothies generally begin as a healthy drink, containing fruit and low-fat dairy. But when ice cream and sherbet are added to the mix, the so-called healthy drinks become a “high-calorie treat.”
Some smoothies also contain added sugar and artificial flavoring, according to The Daily Meal.
To keep nutrition in check – and to save some money – try making smoothies at home.

“A smoothie can be a great way to start the day or to refuel after a workout,” Katherine Brooking at CookingLight.com said. “Just remember to account for the calories you drink when considering what you’ve consumed in a day.”
Turkey sandwiches
The popular “healthy” sandwich meat can be an unhealthy protein in disguise.
A turkey sandwich prepared in a deli can contain much more meat than a healthy serving size. In addition, Brooking pointed out that packaged turkey meat is also loaded with sodium, with a two-ounce serving providing up to a third of the recommended daily sodium intake.
