A look at what kind of changes to expect – and how they'll affect you.
Last week, the White House and U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the first changes to the Nutrition Facts label in 20 years. The biggest proposed changes include adjusting serving sizes to be more realistic to the portions people actually consume (e.g. no more half-cup servings of ice cream), making calories more prominent and emphasizing added sugars (any sugars that do not exist naturally in the packaged food). read more
TOPFIT says: It will only help you eat better if you actually read the labels AND understand that just because they tell you the calories in the whole bag of chips, it doesn't mean you should eat the whole bag of chips. Plus, you still need to make the right food choices
Personally, I think the new labels are just part of the dumbing down of health, fitness and nutrition......the old nutrition labels and ingredient lists told you everything you needed to know if you cared enough to read them and used a little common sense.
After a busy and frustrating start to my day, I had a need to burn up some calories in the fresh air and light rain, so a Lower Table Rock run was just what I needed. It's been a few days since I've done any resistance training, and that was going to be the plan for today, but circumstances dictated otherwise.
