Next time you shop...bring a magnifying glass

Have you ever noticed how SMALL nutrition facts are on labels?  I am old...my eyes are weak...but I HAVE TO READ THE LABELS!!!  You ask why?

Here is a news flash...YOU CANNOT LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF IF YOU DO NOT EAT HEALTHY FOOD!!!! 

But you say...food is  food.  I buy chicken and some rice package that says it is healthy and some veggies and all is good.  Really?  All is good?  That rice package?  Did you check the sodium?  

Let's look at this one...sorry Uncle Ben...Uncle Ben's ready rice chicken flavored whole grain brown rice.  Now we all have been told that whole grain is awesome.  And brown rice is better than white rice?

This is the scoop on this one....

Do you see the sodium is 710 mg per serving? 41 g of Carbohydrate?  That doesn't sound wonderful?  Regular brown rice has 10mg of sodium per serving.  I think you would be better off with that.  And if you just left the rice off of your plate..you can see where I am going with this?

But, you have to do your research.  You have to read every label.  You have to take your time shopping.  If not, you will never lose and keep the weight off.  You will never get rid of those pills and aches and pains.  You must eat well...so read your labels!!!!
