In Episode 90, Jimmy and Christine introduce you to some familiar products you may have seen advertised on television or in your local grocery stores with huge health marketing claims on the front of the packaging that don't match up with the undeniable reality of what the nutrition label has to say about the products. Part 2 continues with this series of videos highlighting products that you will want to be on the lookout for to avoid while shopping at your local supermarket!

Love these videos. Weight control oatmeal tastes like someone poured a crystal light on the go pack in it and added water YUCK.

And I was never able to stop at two fatfree fig newtons. Or 5 ;)

@alycat25 LOL! I don't even want to think about it. And I used to eat whole packages of that "smart choice" fig newtons before.

question.,, how does something that has 29g carbs have 37g of whole grains?

[livinlowcarbman]

@maryposa1978 Honestly, I have no idea how they come up with those numbers.

Glucerna makes a special meal bar (among other products) for Diabetics that has 34 grams of carbs. It says it's specially formulated to help control blood sugars, more like make your blood sugars go outta control.

@livinlowcarbman

Very true, much of those "carbohydrates" in those foods are not the good kind. This is unfortunately what most Americans consume and what leads to health issues. Carbohydrates in fresh fruit are also good for you as well.

[livinlowcarbman]

@aleterra Well, it's the processed carbohydrates that most Americans are eating which is why we're making a big deal about them in these videos. But of course the carbohydrates found in foods like broccoli, cauliflower and green leafy veggies, for example, are EXCELLENT for you. The key is controlling insulin rise and all those ingredients I am reading on the back of these "health" foods will SPIKE insulin levels. Thanks for the clarification.

[aleterra]

@livinlowcarbman They are all carbohydrates, are they good? I noticed that you only showed processed food. thanks!

[livinlowcarbman]

@aleterra What about them?

[aleterra]

what about broccoli and green leafy vegetables?
