You've probably heard of the detriments of junk food like potato chips, sweetened pastries and chocolate bars, all of which contain trans fat<\/a>, a big taboo to your health and fitness journey. Perhaps you've been trying to lose that belly<\/a> that's been hindering your goal towards a bikini body, or maybe you simply want to work towards a healthier you. You've probably been substituting these terrible snacks for what you deem as healthy ones, such as apples, yoghurt and granola. But, did you know that these 'healthy' alternatives<\/a> have the potential to hurt you too?<\/p>

When trying to live a healthier lifestyle<\/a>, you've got to take note of things like sugar content and glycemic index, even if the foods you're eating may be completely natural or labelled gluten-free. The amount that you end up eating should also be controlled - just because you're eating healthily doesn't mean that you can eat however much you'd like! In our gallery, we tell you all about 'healthy' snacks that in fact reverse the effects of weight loss if not eaten right. Do be sure to scroll through our list to check if you're on the right track!<\/p>
