Chips
Let’s be honest: Plowing through a bag of potato chips or a giant bowl of buttered popcorn on a Friday night sounds tempting. But cardiologists say that these snacks are nothing but bite-sized bits of sodium trans-fats and carbs.
Research published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that 99.2% of individuals worldwide devour over 2,000mg of sodium per day. Meanwhile, many health organizations recommend no more than 1,500mg a day.
This explains why there are one in 10 cardiovascular deaths in people who consume more than 2,000mg of sodium per day. Don’t get us wrong. This doesn’t mean that you have to give up eating chips for your future Netflix nights.
We’re just suggesting cutting down on that pesky salt habit. Or better yet, try switching to baked chips or lightly salted popcorn.

What about Fiber One bars? Are they ok to have when you are in the go?
Interestingly enough I agree with most of your list, however red meat and processed meats are not the bogeyman they are portrayed as, I am not an expert, but since February of this year I have lost 60 pounds eating red meat processed meats, mostly bacon, pork sausage, lunchmeat, and lots of butter and eggs. My blood pressure has returned to normal, I was prediabetic, I no longer am.
that sounds like a keto diet which can help you l ose weight however this diet will not sustain you in the long run. Read the literature and studies. Saturated fat from those food items is very harmful and has been strongly linked to cancer and cardio problems.

I would like to suggest a book you can get on Amazon called Ultra Processed People. It is somewhat technical but very informative. I had already cut out processed meats before I read this book, but there are so many other processed foods that are unhealthy. I’m a 67 year old woman who would like to live to see her great grandchildren. I do buy uncured meat occasionally but it’s not part of my normal diet.
