(and what you should eat instead!)
Healthy eating - sounds simple, doesn't it?
But if you browse the supermarket shelves, you quickly realise that not all healthy products are the same. Many products appear to be "clean", "fit" or "light" - but are in fact packed with hidden sugar, artificial additives and dubious promises.
Let's clear up together - the three biggest nutrition myths and how you can really do better.
Lie 1: "Fat makes you fat."
This statement persists - and has misled us for years. Sure, at first glance it sounds kind of logical: if you eat fat, you get fat. Full stop. But it's not as simple as that. In fact, the opposite is true.
Good fats are real all-rounders for your body.
They are not only an important source of energy, but also play a crucial role in your health:
- They support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K)
- They promote hormone production
- They strengthen your brain and your cell membranes
- And they fill you up - without sending your blood sugar on a rollercoaster
The real problem? Not the fat itself, but what we often eat instead. In low-fat or "light" products, the taste is often replaced by sugar, flavourings or stabilisers. What sounds like a diet is in fact often a chemical artificial product - and really messes up your metabolism.
What you need instead:
Genuine, natural fats made from high-quality ingredients.
For example from Nut puree, Nutsseeds or mild vegetable oils - as you will find in our bleibwacker snacks. We don't put anything artificially degreased or processed in the bag. Only honest, wholesome ingredients that your body knows and needs.
Our motto: Fat does not make you fat - artificial substitutes do.
🧪 Lie 2: "Calories are all that matters."
"Only 99 calories per bar!" - sounds tempting, doesn't it? But what exactly is it in those 99 calories? Spoiler: Often nothing that's really good for your body.
Many so-called "calorie-conscious" products are real cheat packs.
They may save on calories, but there is a big increase in ingredients - with things like emulsifiers, sweeteners, flavourings, thickeners and colourings. What sounds like a diet is actually a chemical building block system.
The bitter truth: Calories are a number - not a quality feature.
They say nothing about it, whence the energy comes from, like your body utilises it or whether it makes you full and satisfied at all.
What you should really look out for:
Not on the calorie field in XXL font, but on the list of ingredients in mini print.
Because that's where you'll find the truth - or the tricks.
With bleibwacker you don't need a magnifying glass or a chemistry atlas.
Our ingredients are:
- natural
- Fully-fledged
- and 100 % transparent
No colourings, no artificial flavourings, no preservatives. Instead, you get real ingredients that your body knows - and loves.
🧁 Lie 3: "Eating healthy means doing without."
Who actually says that?
That eating healthily automatically means giving up pleasure, flavour or sweets? This thinking comes from a time when diet products still tasted like cardboard and "healthy" was synonymous with "boring".
Fortunately, there is another way - and a better one.
Because healthy eating doesn't mean forbidding yourself everything. Rather, it's about making conscious decisions. Decisions for real Ingredients instead of industrial cheat packs. For natural taste instead of artificial flavours. For enjoyment with a clear conscience.
What you don't need:
- Sugar bombs with a "fitness look"
- Ultra-processed snacks with flavourings, colourings & co.
- Flavour that comes from the laboratory
That's the right way:
- Naturally sweet - e.g. with dates or dried fruit instead of refined sugar
- Creamy consistency thanks to nuts, coconut butter & co. - not thickeners
- Full of flavour, because real ingredients are simply delicious on their own
Conclusion: Healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated.
Healthy eating doesn't mean counting calories, cutting out fat or eating everything that looks "fit", "light" or "clean". It means: consciously choose what is really good for your body.
And that starts with a look at what's in your food. Not on the packaging, not on the advertising promises - but on the ingredients. When you choose foods that are made from real, unprocessed ingredients, you are doing your body a favour. You are giving it what it knows, can utilise and needs.
The nice thing is: You don't have to do without it. On the contrary: you often discover completely new flavours, textures and aromas - without any artificial frills. Food becomes what it should be again: enjoyable, nourishing and honest.
And yes - this is exactly where we come in. Because at bleibwacker we make exactly that possible: honest products without additives, with real ingredients and full flavour. For everyone who values their body. For all those who not only want to be full, but also want to feel good. right want to feel good.
💚 Our invitation to you:
Take the first step out of the nutritional jungle.
Away from diet myths and abstinence - towards real enjoyment, clarity and a new body feeling.
Choose food that is honest. For you. For your body. For your good feeling.
