2. Not all granola is unhealthy, but many brands add
unnecessary sugars and oils to their products
during the cooking process, giving them a higher
fat content.
If you are craving granola, opt to make it at home
instead. There are plenty of savory recipes that
are healthier — and more satisfying — than the
usual store bought brands.

3. Flavored yogurt is not a healthy breakfast option.
Instead, these small cups are often loaded with
sugar, leaving you feeling hungry shortly after
tossing the plastic cup into the recycling bin.
Make it a point to incorporate plain Greek yogurt
into your diet. You can add fruit or spices to give it
more flavor.

4. Margarine
Margarine is bad for your body due to its
many synthetic ingredients.
As a matter of fact, margarine is not even
naturally yellow like butter is — it is more of
a grey color, but it is bleached to emulate
butter and steamed to remove any chemical
odors.
5. Flavored oatmeal has been proven to contain too
much added sugar, which will only leave you
rummaging around for more food within an hour or
so.
Instead, opt for the classic instant oats and add in
fruit, spices, and other items to add flavor and
texture to your morning bowl of oatmeal.

6. Gluten-free foods
Gluten-free foods contain various rice flours,
additional sugar, and starches that are not as
nutritionally beneficial in comparison to whole
grains.
If you do not have a legitimate gluten allergy, it
would be best to avoid gluten-free foods as much
as possible.
