2. Most brands chicken frankfurters: Again, the name chicken frank seems to suggest less fat, however the average chicken frank has 11 grams of fat, check your supermarket or local health food store for franks made of pork, beef, turkey or soy that contain 0-1 grams of fat if you must eat franks, there are many out there. 3. Entenmann's Rich Frosted Donuts: One of these donuts has as much artery-clogging saturated and trans fats (10 grams) as a McDonalds Big Mac. That's what happens when you completely cover a donut with chocolate; if you've got to eat a donut try a lighter 50% fat version with 6-9 grams of fat, they're definately not low fat, but alot better than the regular version. 4. Nissin Cup Noodles: You would be better off eating a 14 oz. bag of potato chips than what seems to be a "hot & healthy" cup of soup. This is because with soups such as these, the noodles are pre-fried and salted. Nissin compounds the problem by frying in artery-clogging palm oil and dumping 6X as much sodium as the chips contain --- a whopping 1070 mg. of sodium. Make homemade soup when possible. 5. WOW! Chips by Frito Lay: These are fried in olestra, an indigestible fat substitute. Many people have suffered servere gastrointestinal problems and taken to emergency rooms with reactions. Try organic baked tortillas instead. 6. Oscar Mayer Lunchables: It is hard to think of a worse food sold than these combos of heavily processed meat, artery-clogging cheese and mostly white-flour crackers. The average lunchable 5 teaspoons of fat and 1,340 mg. sodium! 7. Haagen Dazs Ice Cream: As if regular ice cream wasn't fatty enough, Haagen Dazs has managed to fit more than twice as much fat than in regular ice creams such as Breyers. One cup of Haagen Dazs butter pecan has 46 grams of fat and a cupof chocolate chocolate chip as much artery-clogging saturated fat (24 grams) as 3 McDonalds quarter pounders! That's more than a whole days requirement -- try fat free yogurt instead. 8. Campbells red and white canned soups: Loaded with salt over 2,200 mg. per can. Again make homeade soup when possible or look for an alternative. 9. Rice a Roni Chicken & Vegetables: One "side" serving contains 1,320 mg. sodium almost your whole day's limit, almost no vegetables either. 10. Alfredo Sauce: You might as well eat a stick of butter. Muir Glen makes some teriffic tasting organic pasta sauces. |

2. Ezekiel Bread (Ezekiel 4:9): High in fiber, has over a dozen vitamins and minerals, unlike refined white bread. 3. Broccoli: Lots of vitamin C, cartenoids and folic acid. 4. Strawberries: Excellent source of vitamic C & fiber, try organic to avoid pesticides. 5. Beans: Inexpensive, low in fat, rich in protien, iron, folic acid and fiber. 6. Cantaloupe: 1/4 of a delicious cantalope supplies more vitamins A & C than most people need in a day. 7. Fresh Spinach: Loaded with Vitamin C, cartenoids, calcium, iron and fiber. 8. Oranges: Rich in vitamin-C; folic acid & fiber. 9. Oatmeal: Plain, old-fashioned whole-grain oatmeal is inexpensive and has no added sugar or fat. 10.
