Avoid tomato ketchup intake:

Avoid fruit yoghurt:
It is believed that 100gms of fruit yoghurt has got 14gms of added sugar. By consuming this we could gain excess weight. It is well known that various brands of companies are selling fruit or flavoured yoghurt.
Avoid packed and stored fruit juice intake:
It is good to consume fresh fruit juice but not the fruit juice that has been packed and stored. Fact here is these packed fruit juices are not real extracts but have flavours with added sugars. This could make us gain weight.
