  • If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

    For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

    Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

    Example:
    A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

    IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.
  • Consumption of food containing trans-fat has unequivocally been shown to increase the risk of heart disease by raising levels of LDL (bad cholesterol), and lowering levels of HDL (good cholesterol).

    Why do the nutrition labels on some products say that there are no trans fats, while Fooducate insists there are?

    Unfortunately there is an FDA loop hole here. If the amount of trans-fat in a product is less than half a gram per serving, manufacturers can round it down to 0.

    But even 0.49 grams of trans-fat is bad for you. And don't even get us started on the actual consumption versus the tiny serving size.

    So how do you know if a product does have trans fat in it?

    Look for "partially hydrogenated" oils and fats in the ingredient list.

  • The Iron in this product comes from real food, not as a fortified ingredient. This is important because it means you are getting hundreds of additional nutrients from the real food.
  • Incorporating wheat bran into your diet is a great way to get your daily fiber. But how do you eat it?

    * Sprinkle some on your morning cereal.

    * Add it to your breakfast smoothie.

    * Wheat bran can also serve as an ingredient when you bake. As it has a sweetish flavor, it could be a nice addition to those yummy cookies.
