5 Diet Foods that Sabotage Weight Loss
Hopefully, this will help you avoid some common dieting mistakes.
1. Some Smoothies – Fruit in the wrong form & serving size
2. Dips – especially at the restaurant
3. Packaged "Diet" Foods – some have misleading labels
4. Wraps – you better mind what’s in them
5. Diet Soda
