Bears Don't Need To Eat
Sugar Free and Fat Free Foods
Bears need to avoid buying anything that has
the following labels: Low Fat, Fat
Free, Reduced Fat, Low Sodium, Low Sugar,
and Sugar Free.
Bears can have some fat, bears can
have some sugar, BUT, you need to
be cautious about going overboard. The
answer to your diet and fat and sugar intake
is portion control, NOT eating altered
"free" versions of food.
What is
in this stuff anyway?
The makers of "free, reduced, and low" foods
have taken something out, which also means
that they have put something in. The added
components of these foods tend to be
artificial colors, artificial flavors,
artificial sweeteners, or even modified
fats. In short they are adding food
chemicals. When you’re trying to be healthy,
chemicals are not what you should be putting
in your body!
Ask yourself
"Have you ever lost weight, felt healthy,
and 'normal' while eating 'diet' foods?"
Most people we see cannot answer yes. These
foods do not satisfy us the same way that
real food does. Our bodies need real food.
Diet foods leave the body feeling deprived
and make us feel like outsiders who can’t
enjoy normal food. When fighting weight
gain, diabetes, and other weight-related
disorders, it is important that you are
using whole foods to help you regain health
and stay at a good weight.
Buying organic, natural foods would be
preferred if possible, however, if you are
not eating organic for one reason or another
then try to stay with foods that are in
their most natural state.
