Sugary Cereals
We’re already very aware that breakfast is the most crucial meal of the day. But eating your first meal rich in sugar can result in alterations in blood sugar levels and inflammation, ultimately creating some heart issues.
Try eating a healthier breakfast, like an egg, toast, and some fruit. Besides what we mentioned, eating cereals that are full of sugar for breakfast makes your body crave more of them throughout the day.
Potato Chips
At this point, you probably feel like you’re not allowed to eat ANYTHING, but hear us out! Chips are one of the biggest things leading to gaining weight.
And not only are they packed with saturated fat, but they’re also covered in sodium, which we already learned is linked to increased heart issues. And the problem with the lower-sodium or low-fat chips is that they’ll just leave you hungry again, leading you to eat more.
The most nutritious snacks combine healthy proteins, fats, and carbs, like whole-grain crackers with non-fat cheese or homemade popcorn tossed with some olive oil. Amazon has our favorite popcorn kernels!
