White-coloured foods, often refined and processed, can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess. Here are five such foods:

White Bread: Made from refined flour, it’s low in fibre and causes blood sugar spikes, leading to weight gain.

Sugar: Common in sugary beverages, desserts, and snacks, it provides empty calories and promotes fat storage.

White Rice: Lacking fibre and essential nutrients, it can increase fat storage and promote overeating.

Salt: Salt can cause your body to retain water, which can lead to short-term weight gain. Salt can increase the amount of calories you consume.

Cheese – Full-fat white cheeses are calorie-dense and can add unwanted fat to the diet.
