If a diet or “health” food is being advertised as low-fat, there’s a reasonable chance it’s higher in sugar and/or salt than it’s counterpart (ex: low-fat peanut butter vs. regular). Or if it’s noted for being low-carb, it’s a safe bet that it’s high fat. (ex: “Light” yogurt vs. regular yogurt). If it’s low-fat AND low-carb, most likely they’re using artificial sweeteners (ex: protein bars).

With these type of foods, you will almost always be making trade-offs in order to get the flavor acceptable to our American taste buds. And trade-offs are fine, so as long as you are aware of them!

As I reached my mid-40s, a lot of stress, very little exercise, and running too many people to the doctor resulted in lots of fast food. I was feeling tired and run down. Jenny Glenn contacted me about a challenge group and I joined. I took baby steps. Jenny was always there to encourage me and guide me and pick me up when I felt I had failed. I am doing much better. Jenny has continued to always be there for me and encourage me.
