Get Fit Tip: Read Labels


DON'T TRUST PACKAGING ADVERTISEMENTS! Fat-Free Doesn't Mean, Healthy! ... it usually means high sugar! 

Don't buy into diet advertisements "fat free", "healthy choice", "smart option". Do the research yourself. By research, I mean - check the nutrition label and compare. Does the real stuff have less sugar? More protein? If so, it's the better choice. 
Fat-free and reduced-fat foods are typically made with extra sugar to enhance the flavor, so calories add up quickly. As with all foods, fat-free products should be eaten in moderation. Interestingly, many products labeled “low-fat” actually have similar calorie totals to their fat-laden counterparts.

  1. Yes! As told by my roommate/best friend/life guru...stray away from "fat free". Fats are good for you!...well in moderation of course.
