5. Breakfast pastries
If the simple thought of doughnuts, toaster pastries and other bakery sweets leaves you drooling, I have some bad news for you. All of these treats are made using highly processed white flour and most of them contain dangerous amounts of sodium, unhealthy carbs, and fat.
Sandy Andrews, R.D., director of education for the William Sansum Diabetes Center in Santa Barbara, California, says that the worst item on the list is cinnamon rolls. A single serving can contain 800 calories and more than 120 grams of carbs, making it an unhealthy bomb for your blood sugar levels.
Pro Tip: If breakfast pastry is part of your morning ritual, you can go for healthier alternatives such as whole-grain English muffins of brown rice cakes with peanut butter. They may not be the healthiest foods in the world, but they are considerably better than traditional treats like doughnuts.
