Study: Eating too many fruits and vegetables may not be healthy

This is due to the high water and fibre content of these vegetables coupled with the stretching capacity of the stomach. The vegetables she suggested limiting are those that are high in starch, such as peas, corn, and potatoes. Foods that are labelled as fat-free or low-fat are another area of concern.

"People tend to give themselves the freedom to overeat 'healthy' foods. While the label might say that a food or beverage is low-fat or fat-free, watch the quantity you consume and refrain from eating an excessive amount. Foods that carry these health claims may be high in sugar and calories," Schantz said.
