5 Habits That Could Secretly Be Making You Fat

Low-Fat or Fat-Free Lies

Most of us will opt for a low-fat or fat-free option if it’s readily available – and really there’s no rhyme or reason for our selection because well fat-free or low-fat just sounds like it’s better for you. Well, guess what – it’s not. Yes, these items save you on calories because they replace harmless fats with low-performing carbohydrates that digest through your system quickly. But what they’re not telling you is that because you get a quick sugar rush and the item digests so quickly, then you’re hungry sooner. Check the levels of carbohydrates before jumping to a calorie count. It’s better to eat something that is more filling rather than eating and still being hungry.
