It may come as a surprise to you, but there are countless hidden carbs, dangerous chemical toxins, hormone-disrupting oils, sneaky sugars, and other harmful ingredients lurking in just about every package in the grocery store.

These foods alone could be one of the biggest reasons why you’re having such a hard time losing weight, keeping your energy up, and staying healthy even if you do everything else right. Here’s the list:

  1. Salad Dressings and Condiments (use Primal Kitchen)
  2. Conventional Produce
  3. Conventional Yogurts
  4. Crackers, Chips, Popcorn, and Rice Cakes (use Mary’s or Brads Brand)
  5. Oatmeal (other than Steel Cut Organic Oats) and Granola
  6. A Lot of Protein Bars: Avoid Clif, Luna, RX Bars, and Quest
  7. Acai Bowls and Smoothies: they mix in sweetened fruits and honey with granola (shooting the sugar through the roof)
