8. DRIED FRUIT

Dried fruit seems like a pretty harmless choice. It’s just fruit with the water taken out of it after all. What could go wrong?
Unfortunately, store-bought dried fruit is a trap. It’s really little more than candy. Production companies often add sugar to sweeten the fruit up and make it more desirable. Since they’re small, tasty, and hardly ever fill you up, it’s really easy to overeat.
If you’re really wanting to get your dried fruit fix, make sure you read labels carefully and check the sugar content. Try to look for no-sugar-added options, or make your own.
