Don’t rely on food labels
Food labels can be deceiving, especially given the leniency that comes along with their requirements. “Seeing food labels that say ‘whole grains,’ ‘reduced sugar,’ ‘low calorie’ and ‘all natural’ is enough to make your head spin!” says Dr. Friedman. “When reading labels, keep in mind that the FDA allows a margin of error up to 20 percent on the calorie counts and other values of packaged foods.”
In other words, the actual amounts are often much higher than appear to be on the label. Dr. Friedman recommends reaching for high-fiber foods (three or more grams,) to keep your blood sugar from spiking.
