How to Lose Weight -
Become a Label Reader
An effective tool for
weight loss is as easy as reading the labels on the
packages of foods that you eat. Manufacturers
are required to provide nutritional information to consumers
listing not only the calorie content, but serving size,
sodium, vitamins and minerals in the serving sizes.
One drawback to labels
is that many times foods are far from nutritious and
even though there is a suggested serving size, the dieter
should key their weight loss plan off of the food groups
and servings recommended by the Official Food Pyramid.
Getting our foods from these building blocks helps
us individually construct our own healthy pyramid. While
the dieter may eat one cupcake for a serving size, it
rather difficult to truly define where this food fits
in on the Food Pyramid. For a better Food Pyramid,
it would do us well if the USDA required packages to
list which building block the serving is referring to.
