Pay Close Attention to Food Labels

on 1/11/2008 by Jen24 | filed in: Diet and Nutrition
Nowadays you can't trust labels boasting Fat Free, No Sugar Added, or any of the other phrases that have filled grocery stores as companies try to market to the growing amount of people trying to watch their weight. Often they portray their food as being healthy, when in reality it may have more calories than you think. To avoid being duped by these marketing tricksters, examine the labels closely and do the math on what's really in it.

On that note I would like to add that you can't trust the labels that say "All Natural" or even "Organic". The nutrition label is your best bet. Sad really...

You can find organic peanut butter at regular stores - I believe a lot of them have it located next to all the name brand stuff - at least thats where I find mine (the shelf space though is not near as much as the name brand stuff) If not a lot of grocery stores have an organic aisle or section you should be able to find it there - another great thing to try organic milk and eggs - not only is it better for you b/c there are no chemicals involved in the feeding process of the animals, etc but it tastes so much better!!!

One thing to watch out for - PEANUT BUTTER - stick to the all-natural organic peanut butter - the name brands such as Jiff, Skippy, etc have so much sugar it takes away from any nutritional value peanut butter has.
