Why your kitchen should be a green juice-free zone.
1. Salad Dressing
Cream-based, oil-based, or low-fat, virtually any pre-made salad dressing is a no-no when you're trying to lose weight. Most come loaded with calories, sugar, and salt, and the low-fat versions actually tend to be even higher in sugar and salt compared to their full-fat counterparts, says Holthaus. What's more, to absorb many of your salad's nutrients, you need to consume some fat with your greens. One study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who use fat-free dressings absorb zero lycopene and beta-carotene, two antioxidants that are needed for overall health and weight loss.
