Hello my fellow Yummys!! So I was asked is it really worth it to go for the low fat/no fat foods? The answer to that question is....... drum-roll please...... It depends. You really need to pay attention to the nutrition facts labels of the food you are eating. A lot of times what ends up happening is that people are not reading the nutrition facts labels. They see low fat or no fat and over indulge. Thinking its okay because it is low fat.
Lets take for example the delicacy of a pint of vanilla Haagen-Dazs and another brand low fat vanilla ice cream. With the Haagen Dazs you may know that it is high in fat so you only have one scoop. But with the other brand ice cream, you think since its low fat or no fat you can have five scoops! When you do that you just might end up eating more fat than with the regular ice cream.
Another thing is reading the Nutrition Labels correctly. Sometimes the label can be misleading. This happens often with small packages. For example you take a bottle of soda and it tells you that one serving contains 15 grams of sugar. The bottle contains 2.5 servings and you drink the whole bottle. Now you think that you only took in 15 grams of sugar when in reality you took 37.5 grams of sugar.
A lot of these companies are putting out these misleading labels in order to get people to buy their things.
So Buyer BEWARE!!! MAKE SURE YOU ARE READING THE LABELS AND COMPARING THE LOW FAT FOODS TO THE REGULAR ONES.
Thats all for today
