hi guys I wanted to create a simple

video on the most important things that

you should look at when you’re reading a

label when you buy food it’s called a

nutritional facts okay so number one the

first thing you’re gonna look at is the

ingredients and what is the first

ingredient whatever the first ingredient

is that tells you what’s making up most

of that product so if high fructose corn

syrup is the first ingredient the

majority of that product is high

fructose corn syrup if it’s soy it’s

mostly soy so that’s how they list

things based on the quantity of a

certain ingredient in this product this

would be first and then the second third

fourth okay so also observe all the

different types of sugar anything that

the ending of us like maltose dextrose

is sugar you might see inverted sugar

cane sugar etc etc okay number two we’re

going to find the quantity of sugar scan

down the sugars and this will give you

the total sugars in grams now we want

this as close to zero as possible it’s

going to be somewhat hard to find foods

always at zero sometimes they’re one to

three but you want to keep it as close

as your as possible now the next thing

we want to do is we will look at the

serving size per container and this is

interesting because we’re not looking at

the total amount of sugar in this whole

box of food or a whole container we have

to multiply it times 10 servings per

container so we got 15 times 10 that’s a

hundred and 50 grams now this is

interesting when you get into like

yogurts or flavored yogurts because

it’ll say per serving sizes I don’t know

ten fifteen thirty and then you’re going

to multiply it times four or whatever

same thing with ice cream I mean you’ll

see that they’ll say like 35 grams then

multiply it times four it really comes

out to a lot of sugar and then you have

dressings for example per teaspoon so

then you have to multiply that many

teaspoons in the entire container next

thing we look at is total carbohydrates

okay

35 and then we’re going to minus the

fibre to give you the net carbs now if

you’re on the keto plan we want to make

sure our total carbs are between 20 and

50 grams per day the worse off your

metabolism is the closer to 20 that you

need

keep it and realize that we’re talking

about the whole day not per meal now the

next thing you want to look at is go

back to the ingredient and make sure

there’s no GMO products okay like the

common one is soy canola cottonseed corn

oil so you just have to realize that the

majority of these oils are nearly always

GML unless they say organic so that

would be the basic most important things

of reading a label thanks for watching

hey thank you so much for watching keep
