When I first read that headline, I was afraid they were going to start recommending we eat more! Then I read this article from the NY Times. I think they may actually be trying to help. Here’s an excerpt:
“The goal is to give people a jolt of reality before they reach for another handful of chips. But the urgency of the message could be muted by a longstanding problem: official serving sizes for many packaged foods are just too small. And that means the calorie counts that go with them are often misleading.”
It is misleading and sometimes very confusing to read the nutrition information on the sides of packaged foods, so your healing team at HeavenlyBodies Clinic recommends you stick to the walls”” in your grocery store, stay out of the isles and away from “food” in boxes with long ingredients lists. (Think American Werewolf in London–“stick to the roads, stay off the moors!”) And of course, come see us often, ask questions if you think you’re doing everything right, but you are still not losing weight.
