9. Protein Bars

9. Protein Bars

The popularity of protein bars has been one of the biggest scams in diet food history. Marketed as healthy options for recovering muscles after workouts, plenty of gym goers consumed them on a daily basis. After all, they thought it was helping them tone their bodies. Most protein bars are filled with sugar or high fructose corn syrup, as well as cancer-causing colorings and polysorbate 60, which can cause toxic reactions in the body.

Unfortunately, switching to sugar-free options only exposes you to harmful artificial sweeteners instead. Try to avoid protein bars completely and instead opt for other, more natural sources of protein, such as chicken, turkey, eggs, and raw nuts. Try preparing two hard boiled eggs and eating them as a post-workout snack. It is a far healthier alternative to toxic protein bars and still tastes good.
