How many calories, fats, and trans fats are acceptable amounts in food?
That’s an excellent question. When asked about food labels, most Americans admit to having trouble reading them – and understanding what they should be looking for. I am recommending two Web sites that will take you through the basics of label reading. They will explain to you each nutrient on the label as well as the importance of serving sizes and calories. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/foodlab.html. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/chd/Tipsheets/readthelabel.htm. • Question # 56 I have started walking for 30 minutes a day, and have noticed my energy level rising. I have also managed to lose 3lbs. Is that a good start or could I do more to loss the weight faster? It sounds to me like you are on the right track! To successfully lose weight, it’s recommended that you include regular physical activity (your 30 minutes of walking each day) and cutting back on calories while eating in a healthful way. You stated that you’ve lost 3 pounds but didn’t say in what length of time you lost this weight.
