My best article….ever…
Legendary brummie music man Mike Skinner (a title some of you might disagree with)…
Once wrote a song called ‘fit but don’t you know it’
Remember it?
For the sake of today’s post I’m renaming his title to s**t but you don’t know it
(Forgive my bullish use of expletives but it really was just too good a title not to use!)
Purely because there’s a barrage of things out there you think are healthy, but are’nt at all
- Health snack bars
They maybe organic…
They might be gluten free
They might have a picture of a tractor and cow on, but its still likely to be loaded with a big serving of sugar, and with no protein, won’t fill you up
- Ready to go protein shake bottles
If you’ve just finished an intense bout of fitness/conditioning or sport, then ok cool
This will aid recovery in terms of energy, muscle soreness and training effect
But as a casual post weights, or snack watch out…
Take ‘For Goodness Shakes’
It claims its gluten free, suitable for vegetarian, protein, AMAZING!
But it also packs 25g of sugar which is easily 50% of your daily intake
- Evil not friendly bacteria
These bullet sized ‘healthy’ pots are a killer…
In one shot, you’ve had 11g of sugar (about ¼ of your daily intake!)
They have 1g of protein so 20 times less than you need to fill you up…
And when do you ever had 1 yakult!?
I was going to write this in a Mike Skinner’esk rap, but decided against it
Don’t mug yourself
Speak shortly
