5 carbohydrates worse than white bread

If you've cut white bread out of your diet, it doesn't mean you're now safe from carbohydrates. Unfortunately, there are some even more problematic foods...

1. Coffee with lots of sugar, cream, and chocolate
Did you know that such a loaded cup of coffee can have up to 400 calories, and as many carbohydrates as 80 grams of pasta? The problem isn't the coffee, it's the additives.

2. Fruit juices
If you make yourself a juice from at least three kinds of fruit in the morning, keep in mind that 2 dcl of juice may contain up to 75 grams of carbohydrates and 65 grams of sugar.

3. Cheese crackers
Crackers might not have carbohydrates, but they also lack other nutrients. In fact, they are very bland, but have lots of additives, chemicals, artificial coloring... Don't be fooled by organic crackers, because the differences are truly minimal, and there are no real health benefits.

4. Muffins, donuts
An average-sized donut or muffin can have up to 64 grams of carbohydrates and more than 30 grams of sugar. Try to stick to the rule of not eating more than 50 grams of muffins or donuts a day.

5. Fruit yogurt
A yogurt cup contains from 12 to 15 grams of carbohydrates and a lot of sugar. Mostly, these are processed carbs that burn quickly in the body and really have no health benefits at all.
