Grocery shopping can feel so overwhelming in the United States. Walking down each aisle, you are certain to find marketing ploys like "gluten free" or "heart healthy" or "sugar free" something along those lines. These words are designed to draw your attention to the product, but are those words honest about what is inside the product?
Most people have some kind of education in their schooling about how to read a nutrition label like how to find the calories, fats, carbohydrates. However, you may not be taught what this specifically means to you. While many of the recommendations are "based on a 2000 calorie diet," does that actually include you?
I am here to help the anxiety around reading labels in the grocery store. What do the labels mean specifically to you? How do you read ingredients lists? How do you know what foods are actually healthy and helpful for your wellness goals?
