3 DECEPTIVE food label practices (watch out for these)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 26 Jul 2013 17:20:00 +0000

When it comes to food labels, manufacturers are very good at finding the loopholes in labeling laws and requirements, and subsequently very good at pulling the wool over YOUR eyes. One such loophole is the manufacturer's ability to claim "zero" grams of fat, or zero grams of trans fat, or zero calories on the label, when in fact the product does indeed contain plenty of fat, trans fat, and/or calories.

Here's the law, and how food manufacturers get around it:

Zero grams of fat or zero grams of trans fat: As long as the food item has less than .5g of fat or trans fat, respectively, the label does not need to claim their existence on the label. In fact, the product can even legally market "Zero grams of fat!" or "0g of trans fat per serving!"

More on why this is a HUGE problem, and how food manfacturers deepen this loophole in just a minute.

Zero calories per serving: As long as the food item has less than 5 calories per serving, it can be rounded down and labeled 0 calories.

Deepening the Loophole with Unrealistic Serving Sizes

While .5g of fat or 5 calories may not seem like a big deal, remember that these values are "per serving", and while an entire package, box, can, or bottle of a product may contain hundreds of calories and loads of fat, as long as they can divide that package into small enough servings to meet the calorie and gram requirements to claim zero, it's legal.

Legal AND deceptive as hell.

We don't know about you, but we get angry when we see food manufacturers outright LYING to consumers on their labels and in the nutrition facts. Some of these products should change the Nutrition Facts header to "Nutrition Lies" and it'd actually be a lot more accurate.

You see, at BioTrust we're here to provide you with honest nutrition advice and products, and as such, here are our "Top 3 Violators" of this deceptive food labeling practice.

1. Cooking Sprays and Butter Sprays -

Cooking sprays are labeled as fat-free but their first ingredient is oil, which is 100% fat. How in the world can this be? Well, the serving size is 1/5th of a second. What?  Last time we used a cooking spray (some of the organic ones are useful) it took about 3 seconds to lightly coat the surface of the pan. Well, according to the manufacturer, we just used 15 servings.

Bottom line, no one uses the ridiculous and absurd microscopic 1/5th of second spray suggested serving, which isn't nearly enough product to be of practical use.

Cooking sprays aren't fat-free...they are nearly 100% fat. In my example above, a realistic serving actually contains around 5 grams of fat and 45 calories. A far cry from the 0 number reported on their nutrition facts.

Same goes for butter sprays, which are 90%+ fat in most cases. For example, one popular brand of butter spray contains over 800 calories and 90g of fat per bottle, yet it's labeled as a fat-free, calorie-free product!  Yeah, right!

The serving size? One spray. Let's get real here...no one is using one spray, or five sprays, or 10 sprays. In fact, twenty-five sprays equals just one teaspoon, when the servings size for regular butter is 1 tablespoon.  When you balance out the serving size to be the same as a serving of butter, you're looking at 75 sprays to get the same amount.

2. Artificial sweeteners

- Not only are artificial sweeteners bad news for you health, but they're also a top violator of "calorie free" deceptive labeling practices. Many brands of artificial sweeteners use maltodextrin and/or dextrose (which is pure sugar) as fillers in each packet, and each packet can legally contain up to a full gram of sugar and 5 calories and still be labeled as calorie free.

We've seen people put 3 - 5 packets of this stuff in their coffee or on their cereal...hardly calorie free and even worse, maltodextrin and dextrose are two of the biggest insulin-spiking carbs around -- the entire reason people choose artificial sweeteners over sugar in the first place!

To learn more about how the popular artificial sweetener sucralose (known commonly as Splenda®) can destroy your health, click here.

3. Any food that contains "partially hydrogenated" oils in the ingredient list, period.

Bottom line, you should have a zero-tolerance attitude toward trans fats. They are the most health-derailing nutrient known to man, and you should be truly consuming ZERO grams per day.

If a product claims "Zero grams of trans fat per serving", especially if they speficy "per serving", they are almost always playing the serving size game and you're very likely to see partially hydrogenated oils on the list of ingredients when you flip the package over. If so, avoid it like the plague.

But perhaps even worse than trans fat is a food that you are likely eating every single day that has been linked to over 170 negative health conditions, including obesity and weight gain. Whatever you do, make sure you limit your intake of this "anti-nutrient" immediately:

DON'T decrease your carb intake (do this instead)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:03:00 +0000

The mainstream media is constantly bombarding the public with messages to eat fewer carbs. And they while could certainly use an overhaul on their carb habits, eating less isn't necessarily the answer, nor is it required when you follow this one simple "carb rule":

Eat less sugar, eat more fiber.

As the above carb rule suggests, the biggest problem with your current carb intake is likely that you're eating far too much sugar, and far too little fiber...a simple problem to correct when you know exactly to do.

First, start by eliminating the most common sugar-offenders in your diet: all juice, soda, and sugar-sweetened beverages.

The average can of soda contains over 30 grams of sugar, and the absolute worst kind: high fructose corn syrup.

Similarly, as we've shared many times before, fruit juice is NOT a healthy option. Get this stuff out of your house and away from your kids. It's pure, unadulterated sugar.

As an alternative, go with beverages naturally sweetened with non-calorie sweeteners such as stevia leaf extract and erythritol. Zevia is a great brand of soda for a nice treat, or you can make your own naturally sweetened teas by adding a packet of one of these natural sweeteners to unsweetened tea. Lots of great non-calorie, no-sugar options here.

If you want the benefits and natural sweetness of fruit, eat the whole fruit (rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals) and skip out on the sugar-concentrated juice.

The next common source of sugar is found in dressings and sauces. BBQ sauce, sweet & sour sauce, honey mustard, packaged tomato sauce, and many salad dressings (just check the label) are loaded with sugar, and even worse, often combined with some of the worst denatured, unhealthy fat sources ever.

Make your own healthy salad dressings with extra virgin olive oil and various vinegars and when it comes to sauces, either make your own or turn to all-natural, reduced sugar versions and use them sparingly. Your best bet is to go to a natural health food store (like Whole Foods) to find these items, otherwise you'll likely be trading sugar for other unhealthy artificial ingredients.

Other common sources of sugar include many brands of yogurt, breakfast cereals & bars, various breads, jellies & jams, alcoholic mixed drinks (tsk tsk), and then of course all those foods you already know you should be limiting, but still may be regularly snacking on (especially late at night) like ice cream, cookies, cakes and pastries.

Tomorrow we'll be back with Part II of this article revealing some of the most delicious high-fiber foods to help you double your results by following our simple "eat less sugar, eat more fiber" carb rule.

In the meantime, if you're looking for a healthy snack that's both high in fiber and low in sugar, you won't find a better option than our fat-burning, high-protein BioTrust Frosted Oatmeal Raisin cookies.

Even better, you'll get FREE shipping on your order when you order these delicious cookies today (free shipping US & Canada; 1/2 price shipping international).

What do you know about the fake fruit?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 13:36:00 +0000

Have you ever chosen fruit packed cereals to augment your berry consumption? Or what about a packaged food with added fruits? And I hope you don't believe the blueberry Danish is adding to your fruit intake.

I question this due to the fact that most boxed berries are not really fruits at all. They are a mix of corn-starch, flavorings and colors. These components aren't healthful. In fact, you are prohibited from purchasing some condiments and colors as they are toxic.

Let's examine most cereals. The front boasts of the blueberry taste, or the strawberry flavor. Yet, look closely and you will find small print stating it doesn't consist of any fruits at all.

And the components list confirms this. You will find all sorts of chemicals, colors and preservatives, yet zero fruit. If you are lucky, you might find the fruit juice: somewhere close to the bottom of the list.

Fruit, even dehydrated or freeze-dried fruit, is not going to maintain well in a package. Neither does it taste the same or have the same texture like the fresh fruit. Yet, producers know they need to offer the fresh fruit taste people expect in order to sell the cereal.

If those blue balls in the box aren't fruit, what exactly are they? Well, most of the time, they are carefully constructed balls of sugar or cornstarch which have been glued together with chemical substances and also flavours. This sort of food product has no nutritional value, so that it will sit on a store shelf for a long time.

It's worse when the flavor is in fact in the cereal pieces themselves. The manufacturers don't have to worry making little balls that look like fruit, they can simply add the flavor chemicals right to the flakes.

But probably the worst lawbreaker of the artificial fruit is the bakery part. Those blueberry, apple and cherry pastries and filled donuts don't really have any blueberries, apples or even berries whatsoever (The higher end stores and small bakeries may, ask initially). They often use the same sugar as well as chemical trick the cereal producers do.

Take a look at the healthy cereals on the highest shelf. Do each of it include fruit? I can guarantee you none contain fresh fruit. Few will have freeze-dried fruits.

If you do want fruit in your meals, do this: purchase the fresh fruit and put it yourself. Blueberries and raspberries are wonderful on all types of cereals and desserts. Its packed with nutrients and even deoxidising substances, which have been shown to decrease disease. Use frozen fruits in occasions when fresh berry is much more rare and fresh berries when they are in season. They are better to suit your needs and more pleasing.

Considering that such drinks are quickly becoming widely used, it is crucial to separate misconceptions from the truth. According to a 2005 report, it is estimated that these kind of drinks raked over three billion dollars in the U.S. in retail sales. With supplement of additional new brands in the market, this quantity will continue growing. Below are true facts regarding energy drinks that everybody should know.

Power boost

Although many people eat foods to boost energy levels in the body, some people performing difficult activities require more energy than usual. Boost drinks offer the additional energy needed by the body because they consist of glucose and complex vitamins. Vitamins are beneficial to the body because they stimulate the production of more power. When glucose goes into the bloodstream, it not only supplies energy to the muscles, the brain and other vital, but also helps in the oxidation processes. The effects of a cup of coffee are felt for one to two hours, when that of an energy drink may last for 3 to 4 hours. Caffeine, that is the principal ingredient in the majority of of these drinks, without a doubt enhances energy production.

Moderation

Individuals are recommended to take this kind of drinks without excess to get the benefits associated with them. Following the strict quantity of a max of two cans per day can immensely benefit the consumer. Basing on a number of studies, average consumption of caffeine can protect individuals from many diseases, for example Alzheimer due to its anti-oxidant effects. The majority start their morning with a cup of coffee or even tea, which also contains a considerable amount of caffeine. Just like coffee, using energy drinks in moderation lessens the harmful effects associated with them.

Ingredients

The following beverages can consist of some good ingredients, like B vitamins that help in enhancing energy making within the cells. Guarana is another major ingredient contained in energy drinks. This South American herb has been recognized to successful represent a stimulant, with durable results when compared with coffee.

Advantages

These kind of drinks are associated with advantages, such as alleviating fatigue, enhancing mental attentiveness and raising power levels.

The 1st types contain more caffeine and are preferred by workaholics, who need to work for extended hours during the night time. The second types are the ones with higher degrees of carbohydrates and vitamins that are suitable for individuals involved in strenuous physical exercises.

HIIT Workout

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:45:00 +0000

High level interval exercise workouts utilize the idea of performing maximal cardiovascular effort for short periods of time. Typically when individuals run on a fitness treadmill machine, ride a stationary bike, or workout on an elliptical they pick a time increment, usually 30-60 minutes and then training at one stable pace for the selected time.

In high level interval training, also called HIIT, individuals are going to exercise for only 20-30 minutes. Within that 20-30 minute HIIT training exercising the routine is separated into a 3 minute warming up followed by intervals lasting 30 seconds to 1 minute where you run, bike, or pedal the elliptical at your maximal physical efforts. After this you obtain a 1 minute recuperation period before accomplishing the next 30 second maximal work interval of your HIIT training workout. You keep on the exercise using this method allowing 3 minutes by the end for a cool down.

Why is this more effective than the traditional long duration steady pace cardiovascular program? Initially throughout the high intensity intervals you are utilizing various muscle types that burn more energy than those of the muscles utilised during a steady pace cardio exercise workout. With the continuous modify of pace your body may not have a chance to adapt to any one type of training as well as burns more energy. One of the most important advantages of HIIT training is the fact that during your recuperation period once you go away from the fitness center your body continues to burn calories as it repairs itself. You are therefore basically burning calories during instances when you aren't actually exercising. This is what makes HIIT training workouts so effective for losing weight. You can observe this training philosophy in action if you have ever watched the popular Television. show the biggest loser. You also hear about HIIT exercising workouts while celebrities give details of ways they were capable to shake off a huge amount of pounds for a movie role.

HIIT training workouts are also effective in aiding to add lean muscle tissue while the workouts are coupled with a diet high in quality proteins. This really is evident in case you have ever seen the distinction between the body compositions of a sprinter vs. that of a marathon runner. Sprinters have highly defined musculature because during workouts they are applying a different type of muscle fiber called fast twitch muscle fibers. The body uses this type of muscle for exercises that require short duration breaks of muscle contraction. Slow twitch muscles are the opposite. The body uses these kinds of muscle fibers for work outs that are steady paced for long periods of time. Use this working out method and you are certain to have an effect.

The most important consideration is that unless you are training for a long range race or a marathon you are not required to be performing low intensity long period cardiovascular. If your main aim are the addition of lean muscle mass, improved cardiovascular health and losing weight HIIT exercising workouts are the strategy to use.

Staying away fromToxic and Dangerous Foods

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:18:00 +0000

If you are in charge of cooking for all your family members, it is likely that you have done certain research into healthy ways of eating. To be certain, there is no shortage of opinions which are available about how to cook healthily for yourself and your loved ones.You may probably read about low-salt diets for those who have hypertension or low-fat diets for individuals who want to maintain their arteries healthy and lose weight. Although these have benefits, there is also something to be said for variety in our diet therefore you must take into consideration this for the overall health of your family as well. As long as you are choosing healthier foods and differing your menu, you will find that everybody benefits.

Something that must be taken into account carefully is the fact that many of the foods that are now in the market are genetically modified. This is especially true of food products such as corn as well as soybeans. In some cases, as is the situation with Roundup ready soybeans, a protein was removed which allows the entire crop to be doused with Roundup, that could be a deadly toxin. It kills everything in the field, including weeds as well as other vegetation but it really does not damage the genetically modified soybeans. What are these types of foods doing to you and your family?

To be able to stay away from the potential problems that genetically changed foods bring to the table, many families have now turned to consuming organic foods. Organic vegetables and fruit are much tastier and offer many more advantages in the means of healthy nutrients to the person that eats them. In case you're having a difficulty finding these products in your local region, it is possible to order fruits on the internet in addition to vegetables from natural resources and have them transferred directly to you. Once you experience the benefit of organic pear delivery or another kind of food delivered to your property, you will wonder how you ever lived without it.

In addition to genetically modified problems with food, you furthermore may need to consider the categories of chemicals which are being sprayed on nutrients as well. Most of the harvests in existence must not just be sprayed with chemical pesticides, they are required to be sprayed with an increasing amount of pesticides mainly because the bugs are getting resistant to the chemicals. Those pesticides are not easily washed from the outside of the fruit and veggies that you are eating, they also grow into the vegetables and fruits and make them somewhat toxic. Despite the fact that you can definitely live off of what those kinds of foods offer to you, it is obviously better prevented.

It is impossible for you to avoid all of the problems that exist in the world around us. Even though you can eat organic food and drink healthy water, you're still going to be exposed to the air and there are usually going to be issues. As long as you live a healthy living, in spite of this, get plenty of sleep and get some working out, you can be happy with the knowledge that you are doing everything that is necessary to be both healthy and happy.

It is well known that obesity leads to the possibility of acquiring serious illnesses such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, gout, cancer. It also caused problems during childbirth and pregnancy.
Fat body is divided into two types:

Essential fats and stored fat.

It is necessary to do a natural functional processes, and lack of it could damage the overall health of individual . These fats represent 3% of the total fat in man's body.And 12% in the female body, and noted the high percentage of females because they include fat sex such as in the breast and the uterus.

Second: stored fat.

It fat stored in the fatty tissue, and are usually located under the skin and around the vital organs of the body, and these fats have three main functions:

10 Reasons prevent you from losing weight

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:55:00 +0000

Diet and exercise and positive behavior should be enough to get rid of excess pounds that you suffered for years is not it? . No this is not true.If you're trying to lose weight.But you fail , consider these questions.If you have replied negatively on any of them . you must make changes.

1 - Size of meal is too big?

Most of us eat more food than we need.The best and easiest way to find out the amount of food consumed by the following: your plate should consist of three basic foods; fruits and vegetables (essential vitamins); meat or fish (protein); oats, wheat, brown rice (carbohydrate). Each of these groups share should not exceed the size of the palm. Try eating in a smaller bowl. That may seem silly, but we tend to eat until nothing left us so avoid the temptation.

2 - Do you sleep enough?

Studies have shown that people who sleep less than 6-8 hours tend to obesity than those who sleep well . When we are very tired we eat to compensate for the lack of energy in our bodies.And our brains need energy to work.You often still awake for longer hours in the day and consume calories than anyone resting and sleeps well.
- Your sleep habits should be changed, via :
- The preparation of a calm and relaxed atmosphere for sleeping.
- Decorate your room in quiet colors and Hang thick curtains to prevent the entry of light
- Select your time to relax before going to sleep.

3 - Do not eat breakfast?

Many studies have shown that people who do not eat breakfast, their weight is increased than those who ate a meal in the morning.This is because those who neglect breakfast, they want light sweet meals during the day. Because the body enters a state of hunger and collapse. If the idea of eating breakfast irritate your stomach you can familiarize yourself gently.You do not have to prepare big and hearty meal .
- few of wheat bran or oatmeal with fruit are sufficient.
- Strive to choose breakfast rich in fiber that break down slowly.
- if you choose cereal Put with it low-fat milk to reduce the amount of calories.

4 - not doing enough exercises ?

You may think that going to the club once or twice a week enough to lose weight, this is not true. you have set aside time for regular exercise at least 3 times a week.You have to sweat and to do a big effort for 30 minutes during a workout session.Do a small changes in your daily life by walking the stairs instead of stopping

5 - Don't you change your exercises?

If you are practicing 3-5 times a week and your weight-loss program has become stable. you have to to develop your routine.
-Keep the same exercises but Make it more difficult; jogging / walking farther, jogging / walking faster. ------Dividing the program to sections . (walking for two minutes, running for three minutes on a slope),
-Add weight that you are raising and the number of times you have done,
-Do stomach exercises, with a weight on your chest.
Small changes appears the difference and you will engage in your exercise routine again.

6 - you eat without feeling hungry?

Think about it carefully. Do you eat light snacks between meals when you do not feel hungry?So you eat unconsciously.If you are practicing regularly.
-You must eat 3 main meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and
-Drink 2__2, 5 liters of water per day.Include the amount of this water, tea and coffee.You may need to drink more water If you are practicing a lot.
-You can have a snack in moderation. But Take care of quality and time taken.

7 - you eat unhealthy food?

Do you think about what you eat?Sweet drinks are the worst that can cause weight gain for people who think they are following good diet . preferably , eat fish instead of red meat and brown rice instead of white, but if you drank 4 bottles of soda full-fat daily you body will switch sugar into more calories that you can not burn.So that you must avoid soft drinks (Lite).because they do not contain any nutritional value and absorb calcium and carbon from the bones.In addition, it makes you feel hungry just like chewing gum.

8 - Do you see food as a reward?

After a tiring workout at the club.Nothing better than reward yourself a delicious candy. But remember that all this fatigue goes in one spoon. A good way to pamper yourself is to leave it to the weekend. Stick to a healthy diet and light-fat and low-sugar during the week (5 days) and eat some of the things you do like at the weekend.After several weeks you'll notice that you do not want sweet food. that will not not be a difficult task for you

9 - Are you conflicting with yourself

Most obese people are lying to themselves about their food intake, or do not understand what certain foods contain. Educate yourself, learn to read and sheet food ingredients and learn the difference between them if they are low-fat or if they already provide you with essential good fats.There is a lot of information easy on the Internet to help you on that. Remember that the rate of calories women need is 2000 calories per day to maintain a healthy weight.

10 - Are you inconsistent with yourself a?

If your answer is yes you will have to stop doing two things.First Stop dieting because it will not not be helpful. The second solution is to stop seeing healthy lifestyle as a temporary solution .
-It must be a solution forever.
-Eat healthy food throughout the week with 3 or 5 sessions Sports & Exercise weekly
- or doing the activities you do like all this must become a routine for you and a method to live your life.
-If you see a healthy life such as denying then you will collapse and will fail to achieve weight loss.
