Eat Healthy to Lose Weight. When we go to a fast food restaurant and order a burger and fries super sized with a large diet coke we know that no matter what they say or how it is dressed up the meal is not healthy and has too far too many calories. What about the food labeling that seems to be healthy? Are they really as healthy as you think? Usually they are not. The Label Says; Saturated fat free. It means less than 1/2 gram of saturated fat per serving. The Label Says; Low Saturated fat. It means less than 1 gram of saturated fat per serving. Now if you are really trying to manage your weight loss you may only eat the small portion label as one serving on most packages. Most people eat more. The Label says; calorie free. That means less than 5 calories per serving. The Label says; low calorie. It means less than 40 calories per serving. Even if the food is calorie free or low calories and it is empty calories with no nutritional value they are not good for you. Some low calorie drinks with artificial sweeteners have proven that they are not easily digested and the calories stay with you accumulating. You still end up accumulating calories and gaining weight. This system is another reason you can not count calories to lose weight. The label says reduced, less, lower or fewer. This means that the product will be at least 25% reduced, less, lower or fewer. Whether it is fat, calories, sodium, cholesterol, etc. it must be 25% less or more. Can you see the pitfall there. Because it is "less" we will be tempted to eat more. So we have 2 instead of one, now we potentially consume 150% of the normal fat, sodium, calories, cholesterol, etc. These few labeling tips let us know how important accurate information is to help us lose weight.
