Be careful of light products

Light products with low fat may play an important role in your diet. Just remember that low fat is not the same as low calorie and this does not give you the right to consume a high quantity of such products.
If you fill your plate with sweets that have little fat, you may be eating more calories than if you had a smaller piece of 'normal' sweets.
The best way to find out how much fat, sugar and calories a product has is to check the product label.
Light food does not mean food without nutritional value.
Many light products contain large amounts of simple sugars in order to gain their lost taste.
This immediately gives them calories, but is often less than fully fat products.
The best thing you can do therefore is to carefully read the food labels that state, often in detail, the content in calories, but also the vitamins and minerals they contain.
