Why dont Miracle Diet Drop Plan eat low fat low sugar? Supermarket shelves have been flooded with low-fat and fat-free variations of shoppers’ favorite foods, but are these ‘healthier’ options actually helping you lose weight? The truth is these labels often do not reflect the caloric or fat content of the foods they package. When a product is labeled ‘fat-free,’ it means that it contains less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving. What the label does not take into account is that many will not stick to the suggested serving size, which is often, for example, one cookie or a small handful of crisps People who are cautious about their fat intake will be attracted to fat-free labels, but most will consume the products in larger quantities because of said label, adding calories to their daily intake. According to reports, people will actually eat 25 percent to 44 percent more calories when eating foods labeled low-fat than when they are eating ‘regular’ products. It is also important to note that fat-free foods are often lacking in taste. So, companies will add ingredients like sugar, flour, and salt in to add flavor, which also adds in calories. So, they next time you are in the supermarket and pick up a low-fat or fat-free item, read all of its nutritional information. Low in fat doesn’t always mean low in calories, sugar or sodium.
