Many people focus on eating foods that carry a "healthy" or "low fat" label and then wonder why they can't lose weight. Did you ever take a really close look at those labels? No, not the ones on the front of packages — the others, on the back. The Nutrition Facts label might not be as pretty, but the truth can be ugly, baby. Look it in the face. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I had a client once who mentioned that she used a full can of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray every day. When I proceeded to have a mild coronary, she was completely puzzled. She told me that it has zero calories and zero fat, according to the packaging. Remember our little chat about serving sizes? While it's true that the product contains no calories and no fat per serving, the serving size is one spray — not one can. The fact is, while each serving could have as much as a ninth of a calorie and a ninth of a gram of fat, the manufacturers can legally claim that it contains zero percent of both. A ninth of a calorie seems like nothing, but come on — who can stop at one spray? And the ugly truth? The entire can actually contains 900 calories and 90 grams of fat! Food manufacturers can be devious, so read the label, and read it well. The ingredients list for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray includes several different oils, which should immediately send up a red flag. The moral of this story? Be cautious and keep yourself informed. |
