Diet Foods That Will Make You Fat

I'm not really surprised..

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 super savvy shopper, be warned. Your “healthy” diet may conceal some nasty surprises in the form of the following culprits:
  • sneaky salt
  • sneaky sugar
  • sneaky fat
