Eat responsibly

I’ll always read the back of the label when I purchase food/drink, what I look out for is the classic fat VS sugar, I find that things low in fat are high in sugar. I use to work in the hospitality industry and know that in some types of food product when fat content is lowered they must add sugar to compensate for lack of taste. When I see low fat on the front lable It’s a red flag!. The only way to combat unnecessary high sugar/fat is to look at the back. I look at the ingredients and if there is a really big list of long complicated words I don’t understand, I usually put it back, if it looks ok then next thing I’ll look at is the sugar/salt etc per 100grams. Say for example if it say’s sugar 33 per 100 grams I’ll know that 33 out of every 100 grams of food/drink is sugar. So in this example 33% of this product is sugar. 

I minimize on the amount of processed food I eat. I do eat a lot of lean meats and fresh/frozen vegies. I do still eat chocolate and stuff, but that's only like 10% of my food. I have mostly cut out soda drinks, but I still have it sometimes like when I go to a movie etc...

I have a little trick I call “fast food healthy style”. I’d have sliced meats in the fridge, and canned vegies ready for a quick snack. I also keep a little bag of carrots and maybe some celery etc.. I’d have an orange or some other sweet fruit for dessert. These are just some of the things I do, and are just to give you some ideas.
