Reading Labels

Hi, me again!
As I've said before, I haven't started my LC program yet (South
Beach). I'm in the midst of doing research, reading everything I can
get my greedy little hands and eyes on :-)
One thing I've read a lot about here is how lowfat products often
substitute "junky" things to make up for the loss of flavor. Or
something like that g. I was stunned when I went to the grocery
store yesterday and really really examined those labels! I've always
considered myself to be a pretty savvy consumer, a label reader, but I
wasn't really paying attention to some of those loooooooooong
ingredients. Not as savvy as I thought I was.
I'm the opposite. I always scrutinized *ingredients* with a fine
toothed comb. I ignore the so-called "nutrition information" with all
the silly numbers beside it. I am *far* more interested in *what* I
am eating.
