10 Foods You Should Not Eat!

1. Crust.

Judging  by  the  label,  Pepperidge   Farm Original Flaky Crust
Roasted Chicken Pot Pie has 510 calories and 9 grams of saturated
fat.   But look again.   Those numbers are for half a pie.   Eat the
entire pie, as most people probably  do,  and  you’re  talking  more 
than 1,000 calories and 18 grams of sat fat. Then add the 13 grams of
hidden trans fat (from the partially  hydrogenated  vegetable  shorten-
ing) in each pie and you’re up to 31 grams of artery-clogging fat —
that’s far more than a day’s  allotment.



2. Strip Tease.

McDonald’s   Chicken   Selects   Premium Breast Strips sounds healthy. 
In fact, ounce for ounce, the Selects are no healthier than the chain’s
Chicken McNuggets.  A standard, five- strip order has 630 calories and
11 grams of artery-clogging fat.  That’s about the same as a Big  Mac, 
except  the  burger  has  1,010  mg  of sodium, while the Selects hit
1,550 mg, even without the salty sauce.



3. Factory Reject.

Each slice of The  Cheesecake  Factory’s  6

Carb Cheesecake has 610 calories – that’s the same as you’d get from a
slice of their Original  Cheesecake. Think of it as an 8-ounce prime
rib for dessert – with 29 grams of saturated fat, 11/2 days’ supply.  The next time you step on the bathroom scale, you may never know that the carbs were missing.



4. Everlasting Dove.

Dove squeezes some 300 calories and 8 to 13 grams of saturated fat
(half-a-day’s worth) into a  tennis-ball  size  serving  (half  a 
cup)  of  its Dove  Ice  Cream.   That  puts  it  in  the  same
ballpark  as  Ben  &  Jerry’s  and  Häagen-Dazs. With  names  like 
“Unconditional  Chocolate,” Dove is trying to link chocolate with
romance. A scoop of its ice cream will fill your heart all right … but
not with love.





5. Out in Left  Field.

No  one  expects  a  Mrs.  Fields  cookie  to  be good  for  you,  but 
who  would  guess  that  a single   Mrs.   Fields   Milk   Chocolate  
& Walnuts cookie  has more than 300 calories and as much saturated
fat as a 12-ounce sirloin steak?  It’s also got six teaspoons of
sugar.  If you can’t resist Mrs. Fields, share the smallest bag of
Nibblers (six half-ounce cookies) with a friend.  Or walk a few feet
and look for a piece of fruit at another store instead.





6. Starbucks on Steroids.

The  Starbucks   Venti   (20   oz.)   Caffè   Mocha  with whipped cream
is more than a mere cup of coffee.  Think of it as a Quarter Pounder
with Cheese in a cup.   Few people have room in their diets for the 490
calories and 16 grams of bad fat that this hefty beverage supplies.  
But you can lose all the bad fat and all but 170 calories if you order 
a  tall  (12  oz.)  with  nonfat  milk  and  no  whipped cream.



7. Stack  Attack.

Unless you’re suicidal, why on earth would you

want  to  wolf  down  a  Burger   King   Quad Stacker  –  4  hamburger 
patties,  4  slices  of cheese, 8 strips of bacon, plus sauce and a
bun? That’s  half-a-day’s  calories  (1,000),  one-and-a- half-days’ 
worth  of  saturated  fat  (30  grams),  3

grams of trans fat, and more than a day’s sodium (1,800 mg).  Urp!



8. Salt’s  On!

Campbell's Chunky, Select, and red-and-white-label condensed  soups  are  brimming  with  salt:  Half  a  can averages
more than half of a person’s daily quota of salt. Instead, try brands
like Healthy Choice and Campbell’s Healthy  Request,  which  have 
less  than  half  as  much sodium.



9. Tortilla  Terror.

Interested  in  a  Chipotle  Chicken  Burrito

(tortilla,  rice,  pinto  beans,  cheese,  chicken, sour  cream,  and 
salsa)?    Think  of  its  1,180 calories and 19 grams of saturated fat
as three 6-inch   Subway   Steak   and   Cheese   Subs. Getting  the  burrito 
with  no  cheese  or  sour cream cuts the saturated fat by two-thirds,
but you still end up with 950 calories.  Yikes!



10. Razzle, Dazzle  ‘em.

Mint Chip Dazzler at Häagen-Dazs stores (three scoops  of  ice  cream, 
hot  fudge,  Oreos,  chocolate sprinkles, and whipped cream) has 1,270
calories and 38 grams of saturated fat — that’s two days’ worth. Think  of  it  as  a  portable  T-bone  steak  with  Caesar salad, and  baked potato with sour cream.  But that’s dinner — yet  many people have a Dazzler as a dessert after lunch and dinner!
