Today the universe Jatoba talks about a subject that still raises questions for many people, especially for those who want to lose weight. You know the difference between light and diet products? Are they equal?

Dr. Tatiana Cunha, who is postgraduate medical Endocrinology and Therapy of Obesity, helps to resolve all questions concerning this matter. She said the food diet meets diets with nutrient restriction as carbohydrates, protein, fat or sodium and its indication is for people who have specific metabolic conditions such as diabetes, glucose intolerance and high blood pressure. "Diabetics need to be aware of the label because the product may contain fructose, glucose or sucrose," says.

A diet drink, for example, has a lower sugar content 0.5 g / 100 ml and, therefore, it is very common that these products are used with the goal to lose weight. But what about the fat content? Eliminate weight with less sugar or less sodium and more fat does not look good. To find out, it is simple. Again, read the label. Chocolate diet, for example, is free from sugar, but it is more greasy and calories than traditional. "See also the quantity of sweeteners, because they are sugar free, something that would replace it, and in this case are sweeteners".

Already the light products have energy or nutritional value low or reduced. Solid foods should have no more than 40 cal / 100g. In beverages, the proportion is up to 20 cal / 100ml or minimum 25% reduction in calories compared to traditional products. The indication is for those who want to lose weight, does not mean that they can be consumed wantonly.

Take it easy! The excess can bring an amount of greater than traditional products calories.
