Deceiving Foods

Diet Blog had a short article on "deceiving foods" today. I wanted to discuss this because it leads to a larger problem among people trying to lose weight. People tend to take "diet experts" words as god. They believe lots of what they hear or read at face value. If a package says low fat then they don't read further. What we all need to do is research things if it sounds to good to be true or even if it does not.

I really want to discuss today about how important it is to become a label reader!!! As you read the Diet Detective article, you will realize how easy it is to "assume" that something is healthy for you or that it is low in calories or fat just by the name on the package or commercials that that may tout it as healthy. The only way you are going to be sure that your weight loss goals will work is to take things into your own hands & start reading labels so that you are making informed choices!!! Then, if you decide to eat it anyway, you only have yourself to be accountable to & it is an informed choice for you. Maybe it is your treat for the day or week.

Either way, take things in to your own hands. If you don't read labels & don't take accountability for what you are putting in your mouth than you only have yourself to look to when pounds or size are not dropping. No fooling yourself anymore! Just do it & read labels!
