#4 – Rice Cakes
Low calorie and crunchy snack, seems like a great choice.
Unfortunately, these little disks of wonder will most likely send your blood sugar into a tailspin.
A terrible occurrence for weight loss and overall health.
To put this into perspective, rice cakes have an average glycemic index rating between 80 – 92.
Pure glucose has a rating of 100.
Besides, this snack gives your body a whole lot of nothing in terms of nutrition. No fat, no fiber, minimal minerals and 1 – 2 grams of protein if you’re lucky.
