"Health Food" vs. Healthy Food -- How to read labels
Uploaded by: headveg
Video Description:
Do you know how to read food labels? Maybe you THOUGHT you did. Truth is, you probably don't.
But Jeff Novick, MS, RD -- of the McDougall program -- does. And in his full talk he shows the 3 easy steps you MUST know if you ever buy foods at any supermarket or "health" food store.
In this online excerpt, Novick -- who used to be a food service manager at Kraft Foods -- exposes one of the dirty secrets major food corporations use to deceive consumers. It's no accident labels are so confusing!
High-protein/low-carb diet proponents claim that the US started eating "low-fat" foods 20 years ago and yet still gained weight, "proving" that the low-fat diet wasn't effective.
But that's nonsense, as Novick demonstrates in his talk.
The foods weren't/aren't low-fat at all. Food companies use sleight of hand to make them appear that way.
Novick shows how to cut through the nonsense of food labeling to see what you need to see, and understand what you're really getting.
This is an excerpt from Novick's 80-minute talk at the VegSource 2007 Healthy Lifestyle Expo, and part of a 12-part series of top health expert presentations.
In his full fascinating and entertaining presentation, Novick teachers the "three easy rules" for cutting through the b.s. and quickly understanding food labels, to know exactly what you're getting. After watching his talk, you'll never look at packaged food the same!

Would it be more convincing, if it was more complex? When it comes to the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat), it typically does boil down to number/percent of calories provided by each. The kind of fat or carb may sometimes come into play as well, but it does often boil down to numbers.
This approach is supported in the scientific literature.
I lost 10lbs. in 2 weeks by eating raw foods mostly.
"Normal food"? What's that?
Diet is a much more significant factor in body fat, as well as overall health, than physical activity.
1) "Clogged" arteries aren't the issue. Eating high-fat, high-cholesterol, and low-fiber foods build up plaques on the arterial wall. These eventually burst, and that is what causes heart attacks. No amount of exercise has any effect on this.
2) You are right about cutting our carbs, it is a very bad idea.
3) Exercise is very important. But, using it as an excuse for unhealthy eating, is like saying you can smoke as long as you run enough to strengthen your lungs!
