To be fed up of the low calorie = healthy thing?

I keep seeing adverts on social media for these low calorie “rice cakes”, you can have 21 pieces for “just 90 calories!”, and they’re marketed as being made with chia seeds and quinoa.

You look at the nutrition information and if the 21g portion they’re 10g sugar, 1g protein and the rest is pretty much just crap.

Am I the only one who’s really tired of this? If you’re hungry for a sweet treat have some fruit, or yogurt and honey, or just have a bloody chocolate bar!

I agree, low fat products are full of additives. I have always been slightly underweight and don’t eat any processed foods Despite that I have high cholesterol. My very overweight GP told me the same.

Honestly, just ignore adverts on social media. Adverts on social media are without exception, rubbish - at best, for poor quality goods, but often completely misleading or downright scams.
