For your own delight, stay away from 'light'

Yes, I confess. I am one of those women who wants to loose weight, wants to loose weight, but of course is way too lazy to just go to the gym and work my butt off. So, what else to do?
Why not try to eat less instead and use those great light priducts on the market? They say that they have low fat or no fat, isn't that great?
No, it is not. Why?
Because what those light products try to hide behind the 'low fat' face is that, while they decrease the fat content, they put much more sugar into the product and most of the time, they don't have to mention that. This is why your low-fat jam could contain a bag of sugar extra, and on top of that even salt. Salt in a jam? Well, if you put so much sugar into something to make it low-fat, then it comes out so sweet that you need to balance it off with salt. In the end, you will consume less fat but more sugar, which turns into fat on your hips or stomach if you don't work out. And the extra sodium consumed is not only unhealthy for your heart but also for that ugly cellulite on your thights.
Bootom line: try to eat less but healthy foods and stay away from those light products.
