Healthy Foods
That Will
Make You Fat
- Diet soda
Soda is never good for you, but diet sodas create more insulin in your body, which means more sugar.
Try a glass of water with your meal instead.
- Pretzels
You may think they're better than potato chips, but they're made with enriched white flour and loaded
with carbohydrates, a big diet no-no.
- Fruit juices
These can contain high amounts of sugar. And depending on the brand, some may only have 5 percent
natural fruit juice. Eat your fruits rather than drink them.
