How to Read Nutrition Labels (Without Getting Tricked)

Let’s get real, the #1 marketing tool used by food companies isn’t catchy slogans or flashy logos. It’s willful consumer ignorance.

They bet on you not flipping the box over.
They profit when you trust the front of the label.

But that’s not you anymore.

You’re here to take your power back, and that starts with knowing how to read a nutrition label the right way.

✅ The first ingredient tells the real story
✅ “Natural flavors” ≠ natural
✅ Seed oils (like canola, sunflower, safflower, or soybean) wreck your insulin sensitivity
✅ “Organic flour” is still a blood sugar spike waiting to happen
✅ Cooking with olive oil? Be careful, it turns toxic when overheated (Cook with Avocado or Coconut oil instead)
✅ Real food has fiber, fat, and protein to keep your glucose steady

And most people have no clue that fiber subtracts from total carbs. Or that you can pair a carb with chia or avocado to flatten the glucose curve. But you’re not most people.

This is where empowerment begins.
