Fat Free? Misleading Food Labels Worsening Obesity Crisis

Low-Fat = [It] is almost universal code for, “we took out the fat and stuffed in more sugar.” It’s funny, odd and not so hilarious to understand that your bulging, expanding waistline is a result of eating “low fat” or “fat free” food items.

Many health and fitness professionals agree that the way to a better body overall is to concentrate on what you put in your mouth because if 85% of your weight relies on portion control and only 15% of your weight is attributed to exercise, eating sensibly will undoubtably begin to change your body.
