"Dietitians Reveal 4 'Healthy' Groceries That Cause Weight Gain"

Dietitians warn against buying certain "healthy" groceries that can actually lead to weight gain. Granola and granola bars are often packed with added sugars and fats, while dried fruit can contain high amounts of added sugars and fewer nutrients than fresh fruit. Bottled smoothies may have added sugars and high-calorie additives, hindering weight loss efforts. Low-fat and fat-free products often compensate for the lack of fat with extra sugar, leading to higher calorie intake. To maintain a healthy weight, it's important to choose nutrient-rich whole foods and avoid processed, sugary options.
