Supermarkets are packed with “healthy” options – but some aren’t actually good for you, according to a leading Australian dietitian.

she said often the actual nutritional profile of these foods, such as the amount of sugar per serving, can often mean we are consuming more than we should be.Dietitian Susie Burrell said people should be wary of so-called ‘health foods’ if they are trying to lose weight. Picture: InstagramSmoothies are practically the poster child for health and wellness but Susie said the amount of sugar in one smoothie could push you over your daily allowance.

Susie said that if your goal is to lose weight then you should stick to smaller smoothies with just 3-4 ingredients.Susie said brown rice is better than white rice, but added that it is a concentrated source of calories if you have too much. To keep an eye on your portions Susie suggests half a cup of cooked rice is enough for one person and said you should bump your meals up with extra vegetables.Source:SuppliedDips can be great addition to meals as they bring an abundance of flavour, but Susie said while they may look healthy they are actually high in fat and easy to overeat.This doesn’t take into account the tortilla chips or crackers you use – and who even counts the amount of times they use the dips.

She said that a fresh piece of fruit has around 15-20 grams of natural sugars and that a small packet of dried fruit is the same – but easier to overeat.

I rarely have a smoothie

Less is more with makeup.

I know, don't touch any of these carb loaded nasties. Dips are out unless homemade, seed oils on them are inflammatory franken crap. Many of us don't eat any of these things, no portions!

Should mention Nutella which will have jaws dropping at
