Avoid high-calorie, fatty, sugary, and refined carbohydrate foods to prevent weight gain. Consuming more calories than your body burns leads to weight gain. Here are a few foods you must avoid.

FRUIT JUICE

Fruit juice is a source of excessive calories with high sugar and no fibre content, leading to weight gain.

PACKED DIET FOODS

The foods that claim to be fat-free brim with preservatives and artificial sweeteners, which are unsuitable for your body.

ENERGY DRINKS

Energy drinks have high sugar content and give you empty calories, which further leads to weight gain.

FRIES AND POTATO CHIPS

The popular snack option is high in calories and low in fibre food which contributes to weight gain.

FLAVOURED DAIRY PRODUCTS

Although dairy products, when consumed naturally, don't cause weight gain. But their sweetened and processed versions do.

SUGARY CEREALS

Those cute-looking sweet morning cereals are highly processed and have high sugar content leading to weight gain.

CONCLUSION

Weight gain can be due to a sedentary lifestyle, such as not maintaining a calorie deficit. If you face excessive weight gain, it is advised to visit a doctor.
