infortunatley with the laws on labeling today all you can do is read labels.
lots of product claim to be healthy becuase they have less of one thing, but if you read you find out that they have large amounts of another thing (sodium, Sugar) that are just as unhealthy as the thing they have reduced.
My sugestion is to make as much stuff from scratch becuase that way you what went into it. as for things like yohgurt and stuff like that read the package that is the only way you will know for sure.
I spend a lot of time in the stores reading packages. Once I find something that is OK I tend to stick with it.
there are alot of things you can do to improve your health like cutting things out you dont need like sugary condiments. I use butter substitutes that are healthy or healthier becuase butter is one of my weaknesses. Some of them you cant tell the difference in taste between the real stuff.
Remember though dont fall into these diets that want you to cut one group completley out (carbs etc) they are not healthy for you and your body also converts other foods into these things if they find that group missing from your diet. Balanced is the key to real long term weight loss

Hi,
I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at http://www.fit-thin.info where they have a free trial and you only pay $6.95 shipping and handling.
Good luck!

Yeah, processed cereal is pretty crappy- stick with shredded wheat or oatmeal (the fewer ingredients, the better). Also, all that processed soy food (veggie burgers, crumbles, soy milk etc.) should be avoided. Look for high salt content on soups and froze meals as well. The more you cook from scratch and avoid packaged foods, the better off you'll be.

There's this diet, nutrition, and fitness ebook that talks in great detail about which foods to avoid and which ones are healthy (I was really surprised to hear that you should avoid all margarine and butter substitutes and only use real butter sparingly).
