Be aware of fake health foods claiming to be low in fat, for example, such foods as certain cookies, salad dressings, or yogurt. To make up for flavor, these foods are high in sugar or salt.
Also, packaged breads and crackers with labels stating "contains whole grains." This often translates into considerably less fiber than 100% whole grain products.
Be sure to read the labels on the food products you buy.
Choose real foods as much as possible. Buy dried fruits such as apricots or mangos.
