Back on track today

April 25, 2013
I still struggled with nausea last night so I decided to not go to the gym and get back on track today, So off I went this morning and did 75 minutes on the elliptical machine. My body is also back on track I am back to my weight before I went away, so that's great news. Now to get back on track and meet my first 10 lb goal.
I had an ultra sound done on my right shoulder last night and it seems I have a swollen bursa, how I did that is beyond me, only thing I can think of is golfing and missing the T and hitting the ground and this was last year, it's been painful for 8 or 9 months. I will try to find an acupuncturist and give it a try along with the chiropractor.
Now for some Nutritional Information.


Nutrient claims – This is particularly eye – opening area of food labeling and one that can really shock the seemingly discerning label reader.
Low joule (or calorie) claims in relation to food- Manufacturers claiming a food is low joule (calorie) food, can only do so if the energy content of that food is no more than 40kcals (170kj) per 100g of solid or semi-solid foods; and 19 kcals (80KJ) per 100ml of beverages or other liquid foods. Hence all foods labeled low Kilo joule or ( calories) will provide not more than 40 calories per 5graqms of fat (45 calories from fat)
Use of the term ‘light’ – The term ‘light’ may in fact refer not to fat content but rather color, taste or texture. For example, an oil may be described as ‘light’ however the term may refer to the oil’s light color.
Reduced fat claims – Reduced fat does not necessarily equate to low in fat. Eg. A product that is 90% fat-free still contains 10% fat; in a product that contains 5g of fat per 100g that is 45 calories in fat alone. Low fat may be a better term to look for, given a low fat product has 3% or less fat (1.5% for beverages).
What are your thoughts on reading food labels, do you find it difficult?
