Proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Pretty much everyone knows
what they are now. More and more people are asking about
calories and looking at
food labels, trying to make sense of the ingredients. This of course, poses a
problem for our favorite
fast food chains and the other
food advertisers out
there. If we wisen up, how are these guys going to shove that 1100 calorie
burger down our throats? Or worse…whose going to drink that 1400 calorie
sugar-filled slurpy? After all that’s where their "moolah" comes from. Because
of this, they’ve become really selective of what is put out there, and only
market the hell out of those few things that are fit enough to communicate. Well
they aren’t going to get us that easily! Because today I’m going to talk about
what what they don’t tell you about their
Sugar &
Grease combo.
What they tell you: Less than 2% fat
What they don’t: More than 50% sugar
What they tell you: Made from natural
ingredients
What they don’t: How much they process those natural
ingredients to drain every ounce of goodness from them
What they tell you: No trans fats
What they don’t: A lot of saturated fat
What they tell you: No added Sugar
What they don’t: The tons of refined
sugar the product
already has
What they tell you: Only 350 calories
What they don’t: The processed ingredients making up
the calories. It’s not all healthy
What they tell you: Grilled to perfection
What they don’t: Marinated in butter and other sugary
sauces before the
grilling begins
What they tell you: Same amount of
vitamin C as
there is in an orange
What they don’t: 10 times the amount of
sugar that is
there in an entire bucket of oranges
What they tell you: The ultimate sports drink to
energize your workouts
What they don’t: Unless you’re doing something
extremely strenuous over a long period, you can do just fine with
water and a
healthy pre-workout meal
What they tell you: High in protein
What they don’t: Also high in sodium, saturated
fat
and processed carbs
I could go on and on, but I think you smart people get
the picture. So the next time you hear or read their marketing pitch, make sure
you consider the other aspects as well. It will go a long way to keep you
healthy
Keep smiling:)
