Consumeable componets

So we have explored food rules. How are you doing on figuring out the best for you?

We now need to explore the componets of our foods.

We consume, fat, carbs and proteins.

All of our food items contain one or more of the above.

So starting on the next blog we will explore one of these. We need all three of them to consume a healthy diet. But why and how much and what kinds and how are the food industries confusing us with their ad compaigns.

Remember don't look at front of the package and when you do read the lables, know what are you reading.

Case in point a product I know longer consume and I find on almost every table when eating at someones house.

Cool Whip

So good for you, little calories, small amount or no fat, easy always in the freezer, ready to pull out.
What seems too good to be true. IS! When are you going to get it.

1. It is made from oil, and not very healthy oils. Oils are FAT
2. It is full of sugar or sugar substitutes.
3. It has lots of emulsifiers, (fat replacements) which come from fat which are still 9 calories per gram.
4. The serving size on the label is a fraction of what people normally eat as a serving making the label not reliable at all for nutritional information. So though the calories are low or non existent in this product it is a lie. Because they don't have to count the amount below .5 calories per serving.
