Cut Calories By Looking at Food Labels

Reading food labels can often help you to cut calories. For example, remember that low-fat is not the same as non-fat or no-fat. 'Reduced calories' is not the same as low calories, and 'low-calorie' must always be considered a relative term. 'No sugar', does not mean no fat, and 'no fat' does not mean no-calories.

Bottom line: if you want to lose weight, always check the labels for actual calories and grams of fat. And when faced with products that claim to be healthy, low, 'light' or reduced, always ask, 'compared to what?'

Weight Loss Advice

Temporary changes to your diet and exercise habits cause temporary weight loss which is typically regained after a short period. To lose weight permanently, you need to make permanent changes to your diet and fitness routines. This is why realistic weight loss goals work best - because realistic weight loss targets are easier to achieve.
