Truth or Myth: The Lies you Believe about Losing Weight #5

Reduced Fat or Fat Free products will help you lose weight

This is clever marketing. Words like All Natural and even Organic get tossed around in the same context, to make you believe that you are making a better decision for your body. Oftentimes the opposite is true. Reduced or Fat Free products might lower the grams of fat, but if you read the labels carefully, it's usually the same amount of calories just redistributed into chemicals and or heavier carbs and sugars.

If you know how to read labels, you have everything you need to make healthy decisions in the foods you buy. Don't be fooled by the marketing hype on the front of the label. Look to the ingredients on the back. This is where the truth is (or at least what the FDA makes them own up to).
