Diet Foods That Make You Fat
Thanks to confusing labels and unearned reputations, it’s difficult to know what’s good for you
If you’re reading Prevention.com, you’re probably interested in
buying the healthiest foods. Just like us, you may even reach
automatically for items with a “health halo,” such as spaghetti sauce
(love that lycopene!), or labels like reduced fat!, low sodium!, and whole grain!
But unless you’re a supersavvy shopper, be warned: Your diet may
conceal some nasty surprises. That low-fat cottage cheese you love? It
could be higher in sodium than potato chips. And the low-fat dressing
you drizzle on your salad? It could contain nearly as much sugar as two
chocolate chip cookies.
The truth is that no manufacturer wants to compromise on flavor, so even
healthy-sounding products can contain appalling levels of sugar, salt,
and bad fats. To save you time, we’ve flushed out some of the most
surprising diet food offenders—and found some truly healthy
alternatives.
Eat the foods you love and lose the pounds you hate!
