I got the FTS book last weekend. Started to change my life this last Monday and I've become obsesed with looking at the carbs of supposed healthy and diet foods. Shocked beyond belief how unhealthy and poisonous even diet foods are. Example: Special K Red Berries cereal bars. Sure only 90 calories and 1.5G of fat (old way of thinking) but 18g of carbs plus 8g sugar. OMG that means instead of helping me eating one of these for breakfast it was actually a head start for storing fat for the day. Last night at work I came across the usual bowl of Hershey's Minitures that is on just about every desk. Tempted? Heck yeah... grabbing 2 or 3 of these while cleaning my way through the offices used to be an every night no big deal occurance. Now that I'm actually thinking, I looked up the carbs in the little devils and found 1 serving size is 5 pieces... carbs per serving...25g. When I realized that even one piece (5g carb) is as much or more than an actual meal, that was enough for me to take a huge gulp of water and move one, leaving the candy alone. Proved to me that "one bite or one piece won't hurt" is a total falsehood.

You bet animaleyes. When I started researching and developing our program I was amazed at the amount of companies selling so called "healthy diet foods" loaded with sugar. Nutrisystem products, weight watcher products and many others will shock the heck out of you when you read the labels....crazy!
Keep some sugar free hard candies in your pocket while you're cruising through the offices ::)

Hi, animaleyes! :)
FTS helps us REALLY see what we eat and why it makes us FAT.
After a while, the old false "calorie counting, fat makes fat" thinking will disappear.
And vastly improved health will be your reward! :) :) :)
