Trying to keep a healthy diet (饮食)? Be sure to read our list of the top four fake (虚假的) health foods first!
Smoothies (混合饮料)
They're made with tons of fruit, so they must be healthy, right? What most people don't realise, however, is that these delicious and "healthy" drinks are full of sugar and can have more calories (卡路里) than a large meal! Many smoothies have more than just fruit. Some have ice cream or yogurt. You're really better off making your own smoothies at home with your own fresh fruit and low-fat yogurt!
Salad
So you and your friends have stopped at a fast-food restaurant for a quick bite. Since you're a healthy person, you decide to get a salad. After all, it's better than anything else there, right? Don't be so sure. Salad toppings such as bacon, cheese, and dressing can make your choice of a meal just as unhealthy as eating a double hamburger. Check the facts before you take a bite.
Cereal (谷物) Bars
A cereal bar may appear to be a healthy snack. After all, the box has a photo of healthy people eating them on a hike. But don't let the packaging (包装) fool you! Many cereal bars have as much sugar and fat as any candy bar. Read the ingredient (成分) list and make sure it's healthy before you buy.
Sushi Rolls
Many people watching their weight prefer light sushi lunches and dinners, but be careful—there are some rolls that will influence your diet. Many have mayonnaise (蛋黄酱) and deep-fried shrimp, both high in fat. When with soy sauce, sushi rolls become very high in salt. This doesn't mean you have to cut out this delicious Japanese food together, but you do have to be careful with your choices.
