Tip
-
Check the labels of your products more often. That way you know what you eat / drink. Incidentally, light products are not always the best choice. Look at light chips, for example: You want to be healthy, but you do eat chips. That is very contradictory. It may contain less fat, etc., but that does not mean that you can eat a lot without gaining weight.
