What is JUNK?

Usually, when I write something catches my attention and I'll give you my opinion about it when it comes to diet and exercise but Chris & Kara Mohr from Mohrresults.com posted this info about snacking and I loved it so much I just thought I'd copy and share it with you.

"Enjoying low fat snacks.  Snacking is great…when you choose good options.  But when you don’t, they are, well, junk. 

Zero nutrient rice cakes = Junk. 
Low fat chips = Junk
Low fat ice cream or cookies =  You guessed it, junk. 

The list can go on.  Want a solid snack that will help fill you with nutrients AND boost weight loss?  Grab a handful of nuts — they’re loaded with healthy fat, protein, fiber, and a ton of nutrients.  Good stuff.  Of course, they are calorie dense — so sticking to that handful is the key. 

Just don’t fall for the low fat mantra.  If a good is naturally low fat, like veggies and fruits, fantastic.  But if it’s a food that SHOULD have fat but it’s "magically" disapeared, that means it’s full of added junk to make it taste like what we’re used to.  Stick to real foods, just stick to smaller portions.":
