Hi.
These are foods that disgust me. Enjoy ; )…!
1.} Splenda/Equal: so sorry to spoil the fun!! I know there’s many dedicated Splenda & Equal lovers out there, but pleaseeeee substitute Stevia instead. Splendy-Wendy contains sucralose & Equal has aspartame in it; this makes the brain think you’re hungry ( when you’re not ) & adds bloat.
2.} Chicken Nuggets: we’re not talking grilled chicken, peeps. The real deal: they’re actually leftover carcass pieces + sawdust-type bits. Fun!
3.} Soda ( duh ): ew (!!!). I don’t care if it’s diet, sugar-free, blah, blah. Soda is disgusting. It’s bloating & increases sugar cravings. Read more on why I hate the fizzy drink here.
4.} Certain canned soups: most of these bad boys contain so much sodium you might as well pour salt down your throat!
5.} Maraschino cherries: sick. They’re covered in red dye & artificial coloring. I’d rather eat poo.
6.} A sick-o Frappuccino: remember circa 2001 when Britney Spears would drink these, like, every second? Well, one Frappy will cost you a cool 500 cals, 16 grams of fat, 68 carbs (<<!!), & oh, ya know, just 68 grams of sugar. Not hot, Brit.
7.} Processed meat: think of a packaged hot dog or slices of boloney ( remember Spam? ). Yuck. Tons of salt, tons of fat, & tons of unknown shit. Plus processed meat is known to increase the risk of cancer & contains tons of preservatives.
8.} Lay’s ‘WOW’ Potato Chips: these are horrendous- they’re dripping in the chemical, Olestra. Side effects? Abdominal cramps, diarrhea, & loose stools ( << this fun condition is also known as anal leakage- too much? ; ) ).
Thanks, but no thanks.
Love.L
Do you any type of packaged meat? I know that some brands of sliced turkey have low sodium or no sodium and very few other preservatives. I live in a dorm so meat is a hard thing for me to cook. Do you have any suggestions that would be better than package/processed meat? Thanks!
LMAO – Cracking up, Lauryn! Love the honesty 🙂 espec. #8 haha
I don’t think Olestra is in all/any chips in the US anymore (not that it justifies eating them anyway, just a clarification)…
I was thinking the same thing! It’s gross, for sure, but Olestra was only in Lay’s WOW chips.
Also – I absolutely agree about using Stevia instead of Splenda, but another point of clarification that Splenda is made from sucralose, not aspartame (which is Equal – also gross).
I agree to all of these! Especially soda, yuck.. I hate seeing everyone with their daily Diet Coke’s, I just want to rip them out of their hands and say, “The word diet doesn’t make it healthy!” Also, energy bars and granola. Paaacked with processed junk & sugar. Mine as well grab a Snickers.
PS I hate to be a grammar nazi but it’s bologna, not boloney. 🙂
YES! I never ever consume Splenda or Soda. Gross. Glad someone agrees!
omg, the last one had me cracking up lol!!! defiantly not too much, honestly can never be too much!
I have recently given up diet soda and with that I have stopped craving candy and most sweets. i used to drink it all day and eat Swedish fish for a treat. Couldn’t stop. So gross.
I decided to give up diet soda today!! I hope this won’t be too difficult for me. =/ Great blog! New follower! =]
Good one, L!
Btw do people still drink soda?! None of your hot readers I’m sure! Barf!
When I saw this title pop up on my reader, I thought I was going to disagree with a few, but I have to say, you hit the nail on the head! I am 100% on board with this list…Splenda really pisses me off.
Now that I read this I´m really glad that I gave up my Lay´s chips or any other chips .
xx
Totally agree with you!! 🙂
Hi.
Love your blog and love this blog post <3
I have a quite large request: Would you consider making a post about tasty, healthy (of course) lunch options without eggs and gluten?
love,
Kaia L
Agree with every word!
I love when you do posts like this!!! I had never heard of olestra!!!! Sick!

xxoo
I’m glad to see I don’t touch much of anything on this list minus the occasional canned soup when my fridge is bare (low sodium/healthy variety for the win!).
Really great, informative and funny post…Thanks:)
couldn’t agree more! This post cracked me up!! 🙂
I’m happy to announce that I agree with all of these! And while I indulge in the occasional soda and bag o’ chips, it’s not aaaaanywhere close to where I was! A year ago I probably would have thrown my shoe at the computer while reading this, but now I can tell when I “treat” myself because I feel terrible afterwards! I’m lovin’ this healthy stuff 🙂
TOTES AGREE
5 personal ones I wouldn’t touch in addition to yours
1) Baked goods at starbs (they all look identical in every store… so creepy… they were clearly all frozen) + heard the cake pops have 200+ ingredients in em.. YUCK
2) Zevia (sketchy fake soda made with stevia that uses a FAKE name for aspartame.. huge scam) lots of youtubers plug em but they’re no good
3) White bread / wonder bread (self explanatory)
4) Hamburger helper / KD (my roomie eats it all the time.. FOUL)
5) Shwarma (popular drunk food at my college… shaving meat of that giant skewer thing? UM I will be nomming on celery as I pass out thanks very much)
Great post! xx
Agreed!!! Your list is spot on. X.
I wholeheartedly agree with #1.
; )
I agree w/you that artifical sweetners aren’t exactly the best thing for you. But I’m pretty sure that Spelnda doesn’t actually have Aspartame in it. Nutrasweet does, but not Splenda.
You’re right! All fixed ; ). I was thinking of sucralose.
For natural zero cal sweeteners like stevia and truvia, do you really think they’re better than Splenda? Do they still show to cause sugar cravings?
I’d been encouraged this website by means of my nephew. Practical goal favourable if it organize is usually published by him or her since nobody else understand this sort of particular in relation to my own trouble. You might be superb! Thanks!
