Light, low-fat and no added sugar are just a selection of the cleaver gimmicks aimed at unknowledgeable dieters seeking a healthier lifestyle, but did you know that opting for food and drink sources stating these particular claims can result in you consuming an abundance of salt and sugar?
As a firm believer in the healthy approach, brands such as slim fast, weight watchers and muller (light) never fail to amaze me with their ''healthier'' alternatives that are in fact bursting with salt and sugar...two things that not only contribute to an expanding waistline, but numerous health conditions!
This 26g slim fast chocolate caramel treat may contain 95 kcal and 2.5g of fat (1.5g saturates!) but it also contains a whopping 12g of sugar and 0.15g of salt, making it far from a healthy option for those seeking weight loss.
Top Tip: Knowledge is power in the weight loss world, and the ability to understand that low-fat products often contain large quantities of salt and/or sugar in order to compensate for a loss of taste as a result of the ''low-fat'' content, will prove invaluable.
