Tips to keep the family fit and active.

Marketing gurus know that if they label an item low-fat, consumers will trust this and assume, that they are eating healthy.  Many of these low-fat foods have added sugar, additives and artificial sweeteners, which are often added to enhance the taste.

Your challenge:

Read the labels, understand them and know exactly what you are buying.   When an item is deemed low-fat it should contain 3g or less of fat per 100g.   Eating healthy and losing weight doesn’t mean you have to head for the low-fat foods, foods that are full fat maybe more satisfying and leave you feeling fuller.   Remember fat is needed for weight loss and the body - just ensure it is low in saturated fats and higher in mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats.
