“Healthy Foods” contribute to rapid weight gain
Nutrition experts warn that some foods considered healthy alternatives may contribute to rapid weight gain, such as butter, nuts, granola, and gluten-free foods.
A recent report from the dietary analysis site Eat This Not That has highlighted six “misleading” foods that could undermine weight loss or maintenance plans.
Among these misleading foods are nuts, as explained by nutrition expert Kimberley Gomer, who emphasized moderation as the key, noting that it’s easy to overconsume them.
Additionally, experts caution against butter, nuts, and granola, which may contain high calories in addition to added fats and sugars.
Experts stress the importance of reducing portion sizes with some grains to avoid weight gain, noting that gluten-free grains may be rich in added sugars and fats.
Willer, a nutrition expert, said, “Many different brands have tried to rename grains as a healthy breakfast choice, but overall, this product tends to lack nutritional value.”
