Remember the time when someone told you that apples are healthy for you or that nuts are good for your skin and hair? Well, the reality is very different. Most fruits contain a lot of sugar which is unhealthy for teens and adults. From my own experience, I feel like choosing what we eat and when we eat those "healthy foods" makes a big difference in our plan to lose weight.

Let us take a look at granola bars.

Recently, I just did a little bit researching in my Social Psychology class. A far as I can remember, I read somewhere within "The Social Animal" textbook by Elliot Aronson that parents have a hard time in convincing their kids how healthy granola bars really are in the grand scheme of things.

For example, let's just use the example I read about: a mom tells her child to stop eating lucky charm bars and buy granola bars. She figured that granola bars are healthier than sweetened lucky charm bars.

However, the truth is astonishing. Granola bars are actually full of more sugar than Lucky Charm bars. Lucky Charm bars are full of 10 g of sugar, while the Nature Valley granola bar has 11 grams of sugar. Scary, right?

Reality check: an apple a day does not really keep the doctor away.

Apples have a lot of sugar in them. If you take a bite of a mini apple or a big one, you will take in a lot of sugar. I know that many people think fruits are healthy for you, but they forget to mention that they can also be high in sugar. I personally suggest others to eat their fruits in moderation, making sure that they don't indulge in too much food at once.

In my own opinion, everything we eat should be kept in moderation.

Frozen yogurt and veggie burgers are simply not the best "food choice" out there.

Some commercial veggies sold in supermarkets are highly processed from soy wheat instead of actual veggies. To me, that doesn't seem like a healthy option. However, others might disagree.

It's surprising to see how many people forget to read the labels before purchasing their items, thinking it's veggies, which are always "considered to be" healthy. And, last but not least, if you make a trip to the nearest yogurt place, make sure to indulge in your guilty pleasures at least once a month. Most of these "froyos" are full of sugar, even before you add special decorations like Oreos or cheesecake bites into the yogurt.
