Doctor warns against eating these five 'healthy' foods

A weight-loss specialist has disclosed the five foods he avoids stocking in his kitchen, as they are covertly detrimental to weight reduction efforts, despite initially seeming “healthy.”

Ranging from breakfast foods to snacks, many top offenders are marketed as nutritious options, yet the expert warns they are more prone to induce cravings rather than aid in shedding pounds.

Professor Franklin Joseph, consultant physician and head of Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic, asserts that some of the main culprits in weight gain might surprise you.

He commented, “These are items that look nutritious, seem healthy, and are often advertised as wise choices. However, they’re deceptive and frequently make individuals feel hungrier, more fatigued, or prone to overeating.”

Here are the five foods he refuses to have in his kitchen

Fruit juice

“It’s a quick way to elevate your blood sugar. The fibre is removed from the fruit, leaving you with just sugars. Even beverages labeled ‘no added sugar’ can have the same impact as a soda.”

Protein granola

“While it seems a smart choice, most of these are packed with sugar, seed oils, and empty calories. Just because it boasts ‘protein’ doesn’t mean it’s beneficial for weight management.”

Dried fruit

“A handful of raisins has the same sugar hit as a handful of sweets. The portion sizes are tiny, but the calorie load is massive. It’s far better to have fresh fruit, which fills you up.”

Rice cakes

“They’re low-calorie but they do nothing for satiety. People eat them thinking they’re being ‘good’ – then they’re starving an hour later. It’s a false economy.

Low-fat flavoured yoghurt

“They’re marketed as a healthy snack, but they’re basically dessert. Most are full of sugar or artificial sweeteners that mess with your hunger signals. You’re far better off with plain Greek yoghurt and some berries.”

Prof Joseph reveals his kitchen is packed with fibre-rich carbohydrates, lean protein, and an abundance of fresh produce. He explained: “I focus on foods that give you energy, keep you full and support your metabolism.

“That means lentils, beans, oats, veggies, eggs, lean fish and some fruit. If a food makes you hungrier or leaves you tired, it doesn’t belong in your house.

“Weight loss isn’t about restriction. It’s about choosing the foods that actually help you feel good and stay consistent.”
