Labeling on many products is a big part of why it can be such a challenge for us make the best choices regarding food and supplements. Often, we see the term “low fat” used on products it makes us think that the food is somehow a healthier option for us, that it will be beneficial for our bodies, that it will lead to weight loss, or speed up our metabolism. While it is true that by incorporating some naturally low fat foods into our diet we can speed up our metabolism, the prepared, prepackaged, foods found in the middle of the grocery stores (as opposed the to the perimeter of stores where fresh, whole foods can be found) usually aren’t the answer.

| When concerned with weight loss, reading food labels can be overwhelming. |
What can actually happen when a person consumes too many of these “low fat” prepackaged foods, is that a person can gain even more weight. Sometimes this is due to the fact that more of the “low fat” food is consumed than the original version, because people don’t pay careful enough attention to the portion sizes on the package, or because people aren’t aware that the foods contain a similar amount of total calories as the original version because the ingredients contain more carbohydrates or proteins.
