As I become healthier, I am reading labels like never before.
Have you ever actually RESEARCHED what's on your label?
It's VERY enlightening. The part of I learned alot from is The Serving Size .
I mean seriously, I went to the cabinet and pulled out a cereal I used to eat (I love me some Frosted Flakes, and they have NO NUTRITIVE VALUE, I'd might as well eat ice cream for breakfast...) and I fixed myself what my used-to-eat portion size.
I gulped REALLY hard when I realized that I was eating 4 TIMES the recommended portion. And I would often eat 2 bowls! Which means I was eating 8 portions for breakfast and sometimes snacking when I would get where I was going in the morning....
Jeez, no wonder I am a porker.
Well, I am not a full-fledged PORKER.
I'd like to think I'm one step above chubby......
What's qualification class is that?
Word to the wise, people: READ YOUR LABELS. You'll learn something new, I promise.
Also, here's another good article:
"The Fine Print: What's Really in a Lot of 'Healthy' Foods" [Wall Street Journal]
Now, I am off to the gym to be tortured. And to think I am paying someone to cause me pain. I love it. It's the masochist in me!
