Most of us know that we should watch what we eat. Consume at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables every day, drink at least 2 litres of water, stay away from fatty foods and reduce the amount of sugary foods that we eat. This message should be getting through to most people now.
Governments spend millions of pounds to educate us correctly in the right type of healthy diet we should be following.
The multi national weight loss companies have their own ranges of low fat / low calorie foods as do the supermarket chains, but are these healthier foods always the best options?
Don’t forget that just because a chocolate muffin is touted as low fat, it doesn’t mean it is a good food choice. If it is low in fat, you can be sure there will be added sugarsto replace the taste of the missing fat and visa versa. Add to this an alarming list of additives and preservatives and you no longer have a healthy food option.
Also don’t be fooled in to thinking that just because a product is given a name that sounds healthy such as - 'healthy range', 'good for you,' 'healthy balance' etc that it actually is going to be any good for you.
Always opt for natural foods and make up your own sauces and toppings and beware, hidden fats and sugars are everywhere.
Manufacturers have ways of hiding these ingredients which are totally legal. Follow my list of do’s and don’ts when shopping to ensure that you are eating foods that are good for you.
I'm not suggesting that you should spend hours each shopping trip studying and checking all the food labels you buy, but you do need to become more aware of the types of ingredients to be found in your regular food selections. There will be many better alternatives.
Always look for foods with short ingredient lists...
Again I should stress that you don’t need to avoid these foods altogether, but they should be a rare part of your diet as opposed to a regular food option – happy shopping!
