I now know why it sometimes takes me longer to shop than other people when I am at the market. Opposed to looking at the outside packaging, and being persuaded by a company’s cleaver marketing, I always flip the product over to the ingredient list, to see what the product actually contains. When we are looking for things to eat, instead of looking at what the packaging says “IT IS”, we should in fact, be looking at what the product is made of!

To my surprise, my roommate thought she was buying some “quick healthy” food options, only to discover that her choices were loaded with sugar, and carbs! Companies such as LeanCuisine have done a good job of marketing their food as pure goodness when most of their options promote “fatness” signaling the body to store unwanted fat! What is even more disturbing is that people are persuaded to believe they are eating healthy. My best suggestion to anyone trying to find “quick,” healthier options is to opt for non-processed snacks. Make sure each option contains a decent source of protein, and fat and keep these snacks within a 100-200 calorie range. For instance, if you are going to eat some apple slices, pair it with a Light Laughing Cow Cheese or some Almond Cheese or 8-10 almonds!

It is all about finding things that are satisfying, and won’t have your body craving for more an hour later! As the roommate can attest, I was pulling things out of the cart left and right! She was not trying to be “unhealthy,” she like many has fallen victim to cleaver marketing. If you are not sure if you are eating healthy, follow these simple rules:

1. Don’t read the front of packaging, read the back! What does the product actually contain? Most processed foods are high sugar, high carbs, and signal the body to store unwanted body fat!

2. Don’t assume because it says “lean” or “healthy” that it is. These are all trigger words to prompt you to buy a product!

3. Eat non-processed foods as much as possible! In a pinch, processed is sometimes the only thing available!

4. And ask someone you respect and trust for help. We are bombarded with products we think are healthy which in fact are not! Don’t be afraid to seek guidance when it comes to your body, and health!
