A dietitian, identified some of the most frequent but harmful food combos that might sabotage your weight-loss efforts. Do you like of any of these foods? Stop right now.

 Here are five dietary combos that can cause you to gain weight:

1. Tea with finger foods:

We always have tea-time snacks on the menu. We never imagined this would be a stumbling block in our weight-loss efforts. But it's possible. Tea contains tannins and caffeine, which, when consumed with food, can obstruct iron absorption, causing bloating and acidity.

2. Fruits in combination with beverages

Many people consume fruits in the morning to satisfy their appetite. According to health experts, this is the optimum time to eat fruits. If you eat your fruits with coffee, tea, or even coconut water, your digestive tract will be upset. Fruits should be consumed alone, according to expert.

3. Rice and roti

Roti, sabzis, and rice make up a classic Indian dish. This is where we make a mistake. Roti and rice are two types of sturdy grains that have a high GI value. They should not be consumed together.

4. A meal with more than one protein source

It can be difficult to digest too much protein. To prevent fat formation around your waistline, avoid common food combos such as dal+dahi, paneer+dal, soyabean+dal, chicken+dal, and so on.

5. After-meal dessert:

With a hefty lunch, your stomach is already full. Don't put too much pressure on it by offering desserts right after. Allow for some time between the two meals.
