Welcome! I'm SO glad you're here!

Have you been struggling with weight loss or have you found yourself on a weight loss "plateau" even though you believe you doing all the right things to lose weight (eating properly and exercising)? Are you dealing with health issues that could be nutrition-related due to consuming too much sugar, unhealthy fats, salt? Or just not getting enough of the necessary nutrients your body needs so you don't feel your best?

Well, what's in your cart?

Do you really know what's in the food you are buying?

There is a LOT to know about food product nutrition labels. Much of what you will learn in this course could be contributing to the reasons why you are stuck and not meeting your weight loss or making healthy changes goals. There is much more behind the labels on the food products than you might know. Taking the time to learn about how food labels are designed and what they actually mean, can make all the difference in how you choose products, how much you eat of them, and what results you may get from eating them. It is important to fully understand how food labels are designed, what information they are actually giving us about nutrition, and then also understand the ways in which food manufacturers are allowed to make health claims for marketing which may mislead you. It's not only fascinating information, once you are armed with this knowledge you will be able to look at food product labels in a whole new way. You will have the knowledge to choose the healthiest food options for you. And you will be able to be aware of and eliminate the "sneaky" ways you may be actually eating either too many calories or just not getting the nutrients you may think you are. Armed with the knowledge in this course, you will be empowered to see through the marketing of foods and be able to make healthiest food choices for yourself and your family.
