A few days ago we talked about the foods that are thought to be good for us, but only if we are mindful of how it’s prepared.  For example, a lettuce salad is great for you (assuming it’s made with dark greens), but not if it’s loaded with cheese, croutons, bacon, and creamy dressings.  Today I thought we’d take a look at some other foods that are food for us, but only if it’s prepared with health in mind. Here’s Figure Friendly Club’s list of “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.”

So where’s the ugly? Well, we could take each of the foods listed above a little further to make them ugly. Like fried fish slathered with tarter sauce, now that’s ugly! Or white refined grains like white bread slathered with butter, another ugly situation! Or how about a “fruit” drink from Jamba Juice like the Power Size Razzmatazz drink with a whopping 620 calories! Now that’s ugly!
