Food Labels Confused
Food Labels CONFUSED?
Well I am not sure if you saw the news yesterday but there was a mention about food colouring on labels that we need to look out for because they are toxic.
Wow, talk about confusion and what to look for when you look at a food label! Protein, calories, Carbs, Fat (not to mention the types of fats), sugar, sodium…rrahhhh this is how you feel I bet! So overwhelmed with it all that your just over it. No wonder why you can’t stick to your new ‘eating plans’ or create a better lifestyle for yourself. You end up going back to what you did before cause it’s a ‘too hard’ basket approach.
So let me tell you this in plain and simple terms…Don’t absorb EVERYTHING you hear or read about unless you see or hear a consist ant message. Here is some information that people usually charge money for…
You want to read labels! If you want to lose weight the most important parts of the label you need to read are; (REMEMBER THIS! And pass it onto your friends and everyone you know!)
SUGAR!! You want this to be LOW…A good low number point is 0 
and around under 10g PER SERVING.
It’s important to read the serving suggestion and try and keep within this range as well as it’s a great balance and a reminder not to over indulge if it’s too ‘naughty’ for you.
CARBS (Sugar is a carb!) BUT you need to look at the Carb on the label as well…Brekky will be higher in Carbs because you need these to start your day! try and have something that is not too over the top in Carb, around 20-30 is good and LOOOWWWW Sugar!
FAT. Yes another important part of the label to look at and so I am keeping this simple, the thing you need to know about this is Saturated FAT is BAD! Think of a roast dish at the end of a night that has that ‘fat’ juice in the bottom of the dish. If you leave it there it will turn white in colour. That is what it will look like in your tummy! and how hard is that to clean? YUK! Well, imagine that in your tummy! Not cool.
Ok well these are by far the most important that you should look at first and rather than overwhelm you on other parts of the label I will leave it here and pick it up on another post. Even though I have told you about these key points to get you on the way to a ‘better’ eating plan and lifestyle it’s still good to notice other parts of the label and when you hear other bits of information like the food colouring, defiantly be aware of this but don’t overwhelm yourself too much too soon. Too much of anything is BAD! That’s all you need to know, now go out there and ‘KILL IT LIKE A NINJA’ with your new and informative plan. XX
