Hi all,
Was just wondering if anyone could help me out with this one.
LL recommends Fat free/low fat or Sugar free/low sugar options over the full fat/sugar varieties.
I am confused as I have studied quite a bit on nutrition being a fitness instructor (although not working as one now) and I have worked with those qualified in Nutrition who always advise to go with the full fat/sugar versions of food due to the chemicals used in the process of removing these from the full fat/sugar versions (sorry i am not sure that reads very well)
I have just read an artical in yes another diet mag who say always go for the full sugar/ fat options as your body does not recognise sweetners in the same way as sugar and therefore you end up overeating on the low fat/sugar versions because your body can't tell that it has had the full amount of calories it needs (and you generally eat more of something if you think it is healthy and good for you).
Basically they say steer clear of the low fat/sugar healthier options and go with the full versions but in moderation.
So in this case what do you make of this and what options do you go for and why?
I am so confused
The other thing is could someone tell me how much harm eating more than 5 portions of just fruit a day would do me in terms of the sugar/carb content - any info would be appreciated.
Hope you are all having a fab weekend.
