When trying to lose weight or maintaining the weight you’ve lost, it’s really important to know how to read food labels. Reading and understanding food labels will play a major role in helping to choose healthier options. A typical food label will have certain things like calories per serving size, the usual macros such as protein, carbohydrates, and fat content. It’s also very important to be aware of the sugar and salt content. Excess sugar typically turns into stored fat and can truly sabotage weight loss. Consuming foods that have high salt content can also lead to hypertension. I personally use Himalayan salt, it’s a pure stone ground salt that contains trace minerals. So the next grocery trip, look at the food labels and even compare different brands to make the healthiest option for yourself.
