Honestly, the best answer is for her to go to a nutritionist who can
provide
her with a tailored diet that has no need for confusing labels. Your
answers
will not be her answers and could be dangerous.
The first thing to eradicate from the diet is canned and processed food
with
artificial colorings, flavorings and sweeteners close behind. Once the
blood
chemistry has settled down and salt intake is balanced according to need,
not
compulsion, the diet can be tailored to establish optimal weight. All
through
that process the sensitivity to certain foods will vary with the changing
metabolism and only become truisms when the body is fully stabilized at
optimum for that particular person.

Quite frankly, one of the things a good nutritionist should do is teach
someone how to read nutritional labels for themselves!!!

Mine sure did. It was one of those, smack myself in the forehead moments.
Was like DUH, I SHOULD have known that. One of my faults before her was
looking at the carbs say, but NOT paying attention to the serving size.
Would say that stuff is ok, when in actuality, it wasn't.
