10 Foods You Should Never Eat if You Want to Lose Weight

10. Packaged Fruit Juice

Fruit juices are popular in weight loss diets. That’s because fruit juices are full of nutrients that keep us energized and fresh.

However, drinking fruit juice in excess does not benefit your health much. The nutritious fiber in fruits gets lost in the juicing process and you end up consuming pure sugar in the form of fructose.

A 2010 study published in Physiological Reviews highlights the link between high fructose intake and weight gain.

The worst thing is when you drink prepackaged juices. You may actually be drinking a mixture of water, sugar and some chemicals that taste like fruit.

For weight management, whole fruits are a better choice. Whole fruits do contain some sugar, but because the sugar is within the fibrous cell walls, the release of the sugar into the bloodstream is slow and less harmful to your body.
