Reading Food Labels

Reading food labels is not interesting for most of us.

Most of the time when we are shopping (or doing anything for that matter) we are in a hurry and don't pay much attention to reading food labels.
I know it is not an easy task the food manufacturers try their best to confuse us as much as possible.

If you want to be healthy, you need to eat healthy so make an effort to find out what you are eating.

Basic things you need to be aware of or pay attention to:

• Serving size
• Grams of Fat
• Trans Fat / hydrogenated fat
  
• Saturated fat
• Carbohydrate
• Sugar
• Fiber
  
• Sodium
